AI Tools
Beta
ImmPort's AI tools are in beta. Tool interfaces and connection steps may change. Please send feedback and bug reports to the ImmPort help desk at ImmPort_Helpdesk@immport.org.
ImmPort offers two ways to work with ImmPort data from AI assistants such as Claude:
- MCP Server: gives an AI assistant direct, structured access to ImmPort studies, subjects, assay results, controlled vocabularies, the data model and study files, through natural language.
- Claude Skills: teach Claude how to use that access well. They cover finding and comparing studies, and analysing downloaded Tab.zip packages.
