PhysiCell Configuration Builder MCP Server

The PhysiCell server creates, loads, inspects, modifies, validates, and exports PhysiCell configuration files through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). xml, Cell Rules CSV files, and PhysiBoSS intracellular-model settings.

People connecting science & health tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install PhysiCell Configuration Builder

Claude Code

claude mcp add marcorusc-mcp-biomodelling-servers-physi -- uvx mcp-biomodelling-servers

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marcorusc-mcp-biomodelling-servers-physi": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-biomodelling-servers"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package mcp-biomodelling-servers - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.marcorusc is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
