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

Look up a single yeast (S. cerevisiae) gene/locus in SGD (Saccharomyces Genome Database, the authoritative budding-yeast genetics resource). Accepts a systematic name (e.g. YAL001C), a standard gene name (e.g. TFC3), or an SGDID (e.g. S000000001). Returns the standard name, systematic name, SGDID, description, locus type, and aliases. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	yes	Systematic name (YAL001C), gene name (TFC3), or SGDID (S000000001).
