# Awesome Genomic Skills [](https://awesome.re)
A curated list of skills and MCP servers for working with AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, etc.) in genomics and bioinformatics, alongside other useful repositories such as benchmarks and general AI coding skills collections.
### What is a Skill and what is an MCP?
**Skill:** a Markdown file (plus optional scripts) that teaches an agent *how* to do a task — procedural know-how loaded into context on demand.
**MCP server:** a running service that gives an agent a *connection* to external systems (databases, tools, pipelines) via standardized tool calls.
