You can use the Histopathology Atlas from inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude. Ask for a diagnosis, organ or stain in English or Turkish; the assistant finds matching atlas cases and opens the whole-slide image in a zoomable viewer right in the chat.

  • About 229 whole-slide images in 160 cases: H&E, histochemistry (PAS, Giemsa, Congo red…), immunohistochemistry (CD3, GFAP, Ki-67…) and cytology.
  • Every answer links to the case’s English and Turkish atlas pages.
  • Quiz mode: Hacettepe Case of the Month slides keep their diagnosis hidden.
  • Read-only: no account, no sign-in, no cookies, no tracking.
Important

For educational use only; not for diagnosing individual patients. Never type patient names, record numbers or other identifying information into your questions.

F.1 Connector address

Add this address to your assistant as a connector. No sign-in or password is needed.

https://atlas-mcp.serdarbalci.workers.dev/mcp

F.2 Claude

Works on every Claude plan (the free plan allows one custom connector), on the web, desktop and mobile apps.

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, click +, then Add custom connector.
  2. Enter a name such as Histopathology Atlas, paste the address above and save.
  3. Start a new chat and enable the connector from the + menu in the message box.

F.3 ChatGPT

On ChatGPT for the web, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu accounts can add it in Developer mode.

  1. Turn on Developer mode under Settings → Security and login.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click +, paste the address and choose No authentication.
  3. In a new chat, select the connector from the tools menu in the message box.

The same address also works in other MCP apps such as Codex, VS Code (Copilot) and Cursor; they show text answers with atlas links instead of the viewer.

F.4 Example prompts

  • “Any amyloid examples?”
  • “Show me the CD3 stain in lymphocytic gastritis”
  • “Open the Helicobacter pylori Giemsa slide”
  • “Show the PAS stain from this case”
  • “Give me a quiz case and don’t tell me the diagnosis”

In the viewer, use Fullscreen for a larger view and Open in atlas to jump to the case page. While the viewer is inline in the chat, zoom with Ctrl/Cmd + mouse wheel or two fingers.

F.5 Privacy, terms and source code

The connector is built on the open MCP Apps standard. To open the slides in QuPath instead, see the QuPath Extension page.
