`get_project`

Pack: gdc · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_project for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Look up a single NCI GDC project by project_id (e.g. “TCGA-BRCA”) and get its details plus summary counts (case_count, file_count). Keyless, open-access metadata.

Parameters
