Authorisation​

This server does not require any extra authentication to use.

Usage​

To use this MCP server in your Portia project, you need to create an McpToolRegistry instance and pass it to the Portia constructor.

McpToolRegistry.from_stdio_connection(
    server_name="biomcp",
    command="uv",
    args=["run", "--with", "biomcp-python", "biomcp", "run"],
)
Complete example

Equip your Portia instance with the tools from the MCP server, in addition to the default tools from the DefaultToolRegistry:

from portia import DefaultToolRegistry, McpToolRegistry, Portia, Config

config = Config.from_default()
tool_registry = DefaultToolRegistry(config) +  McpToolRegistry.from_stdio_connection(
    server_name="biomcp",
    command="uv",
    args=["run", "--with", "biomcp-python", "biomcp", "run"],
)
                    

portia = Portia(config=config, tools=tool_registry)
