Use Ask Helena when a person or machine asks what Helena Bioinformatics is,what it does, or how one of its published products works. Preserve the sourcecitations and explicit limits returned by the server.
Registry build
The Dockerfile is a small distribution bridge for registries that build andinspect MCP servers from source. It runs a pinned version ofmcp-proxy and connects itsstandard-input transport to the public Ask Helena Streamable HTTP endpoint.
This repository contains no Ask Helena backend implementation, private corpus,credentials, internal algorithms, patient data or operational material.Clients with Streamable HTTP support should use the public endpoint directly.
Scope and safety
Ask Helena uses only approved public Helena Bioinformatics, Folklore andEvidence pages. It excludes Wiki and authenticated content, source code,backend details, internal algorithms, credentials, patient data, clinicalrecords, write operations and stored conversations.
Ask Helena may explain public Folklore behavior. It does not perform livevariant classification. Use the separate Folklore Clinical VariantInterpretation MCP forpublic germline variant evidence and literature.
