First Query

This walkthrough shows the shortest useful BioMCP session.

1. Confirm API connectivity

biomcp health --apis-only

You should see an API status table and a summary line.

2. Search for a target

biomcp search gene -q BRAF --limit 5

Use search to identify canonical identifiers before deeper retrieval.

3. Retrieve a specific record

biomcp get gene BRAF

4. Expand with a section

biomcp get gene BRAF pathways

This positional section model is the default way to request deeper detail.

5. Try JSON output

biomcp --json get gene BRAF

6. Cross to another entity

biomcp search trial -c melanoma --status recruiting --limit 3
biomcp get trial NCT02576665 eligibility
