 BioContextAI currently hosts over 40 community-built biomedical MCP servers with hundreds of tools, including the BioContextAI Knowledgebase MCP with access to resources like UniProt, Open Targets, and pathway databases.
 There's a natural synergy here: while scverse packages handle computational analyses, these knowledge resources support the hypothesis generation and interpretation work that happens around those analyses.
 By jointly building best practice scverse MCP servers, we hope to facilitate exploration of omics data and provide improved code generation for scverse ecosystem-enabled analyses, all while maintaining reproducibility and transparency.
 This is early work and we are actively evaluating patterns for building MCP servers that integrate well with existing workflows and best practices.

 We're happy to announce that `anndata` 0.12 is out now!
 Check out [the changelog](https://anndata.scverse.org/page/release-notes/index.html#v0-12-0) for a full list of changes.
 Here, we want to give our users a bit of a deep dive into the new functionality.
 We have lots of great features, like zarr v3 support (package and format), full lazy loading, and new API customisability! Let’s dive in!
 
-## Zarr v3

 [Zarr v3 as a file format](https://zarr-specs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/v3/core/index.html) provides improved cloud support, support for sharding to reduce the number of files created in a zarr store, and improved support for extensibility.

 Moving on, we have also replaced `anndata.experimental.read_elem_as_dask` with [`anndata.experimental.read_elem_lazy`](https://anndata.scverse.org/page/generated/anndata.experimental.read_lazy.html) and [`anndata.experimental.read_lazy`](https://anndata.scverse.org/page/generated/anndata.experimental.read_elem_lazy.html).
 Why? Because now your dataframes can be lazy too thanks to support from [xarray](https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/user-guide/index.html)!
