X-Linked Inheritance Probability Calculator

Compute Punnett square and affected/carrier probabilities for X-linked recessive and dominant traits. Carrier mother × unaffected father → 50% of sons affected; affected father → all daughters affected, no sons. Derived from Morgan 1910, Griffiths, Hartl & Clark 2007, StatPearls. Educational use only.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
inheritanceMode	select	Yes	Recessive (a = disease allele) or dominant (A = disease allele).
motherGenotype	select	Yes	Mother's X-chromosome genotype. For recessive traits X^A X^a is an unaffected carrier; for dominant traits X^A X^a is affected.
fatherGenotype	select	Yes	Father's X-chromosome genotype (XY).

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "x-linked-inheritance-probability",
    "arguments": {
  "inheritanceMode": "recessive",
  "motherGenotype": "XAXa",
  "fatherGenotype": "XAY",
  "decimalPlaces": 4
}
  }
}

Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
