About Evo2 MCP
Evo2 MCP is an MCP server published by not-a-feature in the AI category: mCP server for generating, scoring and embedding genomic sequences using Evo 2.
The repository has 2 stars and 0 forks, with the last commit 6 months ago. Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.
Install
git clone https://github.com/not-a-feature/evo2-mcpThis server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

README
evo2-mcp

The evo2-mcp server exposes Evo 2 as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, providing tools for genomic sequence analysis. Any MCP-compatible client can use these tools to score, embed, and generate DNA sequences.
Features
- Sequence Scoring: Compute log probabilities for DNA sequences
- Sequence Embedding: Extract learned representations from intermediate model layers
- Sequence Generation: Generate novel DNA sequences with controlled sampling
- Variant Effect Prediction: Score SNP mutations for variant prioritization
- Multiple Model Checkpoints: Support for 7B, 40B, and 1B parameter models
Getting Started
Prerequisites: Python 3.12
-
Install Evo2 dependencies: See Installation Guide for details.
conda install -c nvidia cuda-nvcc cuda-cudart-dev conda install -c conda-forge transformer-engine-torch=2.3.0 pip install flash-attn==2.8.0.post2 --no-build-isolation pip install evo2 -
Install evo2-mcp:
pip install evo2-mcp -
Activate MCP Server: Add the following to your
mcp.jsonconfiguration:{ "mcpServers": { "evo2-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "evo2_mcp.main"] } } }
For detailed installation instructions, see the Installation Guide.
Usage
Once installed, the server can be accessed by any MCP-compatible client. For available tools and usage examples, see the Tools Documentation.
