Tools: coords, rsIDs, CAids, HGVS (g/c/p), protein missense → genomic HGVS via SynVar, + discover annotators/output fields. Uses GRCh38/hg38 + public OpenCRAVAT annotation service.

More than “lookup”: give it a variant (rsID/HGVS/coords) and it returns clinical assertions (ClinVar/ClinGen, CIViC), population freqs (gnomAD + cohorts), effect predictors, + specialized resources (e.g., BRCA1 functional assay scores). Research/decision support ≠ clinical confirmation.

🚀 Announcing the OpenCRAVAT MCP Server — variant annotation for AI tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Lets LMs/clients call tools so they can fetch authoritative annotations on demand (not from model memory).
