Phylogenetic Tree Construction

Phylogenetic Tree Construction MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Construct evolutionary trees and calculate genetic distances from sequence alignments.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for evolutionary biology. It allows AI agents to transform Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA) into phylogenetic trees using both distance-based methods like build_distance_tree and statistically robust Maximum Likelihood estimation via build_likelihood_tree. Users can also generate raw distance matrices with calculate_evolutionary_distances or validate existing tree structures using evaluate_tree_reliability to ensure statistical confidence in evolutionary relationships.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

build_distance_tree

Provide a valid alignment and model. Construct a phylogenetic tree using distance-based algorithms

calculate_evolutionary_distances

Provide the alignment and distance model. Generate a raw distance matrix from an alignment without building a full tree

evaluate_tree_reliability

Provide the tree topology, original alignment, and resampling method. Analyze the statistical confidence and stability of a previously constructed tree

build_likelihood_tree

Provide an alignment, substitution model, and bootstrap iterations. Construct a phylogenetic tree using Maximum Likelihood estimation

Build a distance-based phylogenetic tree from this alignment using the Jukes-Cantor model: >seq1 ATGC >seq2 ATGG

The phylogenetic tree has been constructed with the following topology: ((seq1, seq2)).

Calculate the evolutionary distances for this alignment using the Kimura-2-Parameter model: >seq1 ATGC >seq2 ATGG

The evolutionary distance matrix has been generated successfully.

Can you check the reliability of this tree topology: (A:0.1, B:0.2, C:0.3)?

The tree reliability analysis is complete, showing a stability index of 0.85.

You can use Multiple Sequence Alignments (MSA) in FASTA format for DNA or protein sequences.
