Bio-Research Plugin
Your AI-powered research assistant for the life sciences. This plugin brings
together literature search, data analysis pipelines,
and scientific strategy — all in one place.
Test which MCP servers are connected by listing available tools. Group the results:
Literature & Data Sources:
Drug Discovery & Clinical:
Visualization & AI:
Report which servers are connected and which are not yet set up.
List the analysis skills available in this plugin:
| Skill | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Single-Cell RNA QC | Quality control for scRNA-seq data with MAD-based filtering |
| scvi-tools | Deep learning for single-cell omics (scVI, scANVI, totalVI, PeakVI, etc.) |
| Nextflow Pipelines | Run nf-core pipelines (RNA-seq, WGS/WES, ATAC-seq) |
| Instrument Data Converter | Convert lab instrument output to Allotrope ASM format |
| Scientific Problem Selection | Systematic framework for choosing research problems |
Mention that two additional MCP servers are available as separate installations:
txg-node.mcpb from https://github.com/10XGenomics/txg-mcp/releasestooluniverse.mcpb from https://github.com/mims-harvard/ToolUniverse/releasesThese require downloading binary files and are optional.
Ask the researcher what they're working on today. Suggest starting points based on common workflows:
Wait for the user's response and guide them to the appropriate tools and skills.
npx claudepluginhub anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --plugin bio-researchAutonomous biomedical AI agent for multi-step research tasks including CRISPR screening, single-cell RNA-seq, ADMET prediction, GWAS analysis, rare disease diagnosis, and lab protocol optimization.
Orchestrates research projects, experiments, literature reviews, and compute resources via MCP tools for AI agents and humans. Useful for research workflows in Claude Code.
Recommends Bioconductor packages, suggests container-first workflows, inspects local R/BiocManager setup, and generates reproducible starter R code for bioinformatics tasks.
