About @connerlambden
Conner Lambden develops and maintains a collection of open-source AI tools, including MCP servers for scientific paper evidence search (bgpt-mcp) and real-time news analysis with bias scoring, live market data, and AI options pricing (helium-mcp). Other projects include an intuitive nonparametric gene network search algorithm (Cube), single-cell analysis of CD4 cells, and community-contributed instructions for GitHub Copilot (awesome-copilot fork). These tools cater to researchers, financial analysts, and bioinformaticians, and are freely available on GitHub.
