`search`

Pack: gnomad · 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/search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Autocomplete-style search across gnomAD genes and variants by free-text query; returns matching Ensembl gene IDs with symbols, and matching variant IDs (an rsid resolves here). Use to resolve a partial gene name, symbol or rsid before calling gene or variant.
