| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Seqera MCP is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that enables AI assistants to interact with the Seqera ecosystem. It provides access to Seqera Platform, Wave containers, nf-core modules, and bioinformatics data resources. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Features |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- **Seqera Platform integration**: Launch, monitor, and manage Nextflow pipelines. |
| 13 | +- **Wave container service**: Create containerized environments with conda/pip packages. |
| 14 | +- **nf-core modules**: Search and execute 1000+ standardized bioinformatics modules. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Remote server |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The hosted Seqera MCP server is available at: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +```console |
| 21 | +https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## Authentication |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Seqera MCP supports two authentication methods: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- **OAuth 2.1** (recommended): Interactive login through Seqera Platform. Your browser opens automatically to authenticate when connecting. |
| 29 | +- **Personal Access Token**: Use your Seqera Platform [access token](https://docs.seqera.io/platform-cloud/credentials/overview) as a Bearer token. Useful for clients that don't support OAuth. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Client setup |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +### Claude Code |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```bash |
| 36 | +claude mcp add seqera --url https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Claude Desktop |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +1. Open Claude Desktop settings. |
| 42 | +2. Select **Add connectors**. |
| 43 | +3. Click **Add custom connector**. |
| 44 | +4. Enter the URL: `https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp`. |
| 45 | +5. Select **OAuth** as the authentication method. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Cursor |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Create or edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json`: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +```json |
| 52 | +{ |
| 53 | + "mcpServers": { |
| 54 | + "seqera": { |
| 55 | + "url": "https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp" |
| 56 | + } |
| 57 | + } |
| 58 | +} |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Restart Cursor to apply the configuration. On first use, your browser will open for authentication. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### OpenAI Codex |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +First, enable the MCP client feature in `~/.codex/config.toml`: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +```toml |
| 68 | +[features] |
| 69 | +rmcp_client = true |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +Then add the Seqera MCP server and authenticate: |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +```bash |
| 75 | +codex mcp add seqera --url https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp |
| 76 | +codex mcp login seqera |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +### VS Code |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +Create or edit `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json` (Windows): |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +```json |
| 84 | +{ |
| 85 | + "servers": { |
| 86 | + "seqera": { |
| 87 | + "url": "https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp", |
| 88 | + "type": "http" |
| 89 | + } |
| 90 | + } |
| 91 | +} |
| 92 | +``` |
| 93 | +### Windsurf |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +Create or edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`: |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +```json |
| 98 | +{ |
| 99 | + "mcpServers": { |
| 100 | + "seqera": { |
| 101 | + "serverUrl": "https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp" |
| 102 | + } |
| 103 | + } |
| 104 | +} |
| 105 | +``` |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +### Using Personal Access Token |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +For clients that don't support OAuth, add your access token as a header: |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +```json |
| 112 | +{ |
| 113 | + "mcpServers": { |
| 114 | + "seqera": { |
| 115 | + "url": "https://mcp.seqera.io/mcp", |
| 116 | + "headers": { |
| 117 | + "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>" |
| 118 | + } |
| 119 | + } |
| 120 | + } |
| 121 | +} |
| 122 | +``` |
