AI-powered bioprotocol optimization — generate, search, and manage lab protocols via MCP
Remote endpoints: streamable-http: https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp
From the project's GitHub README.
Connect AI agents to the Elnora bioprotocol optimization platform via the Model Context Protocol.
Elnora is an AI-powered platform that helps researchers generate, optimize, and manage bioprotocols for wet-lab experiments. With this MCP server, you can interact with Elnora directly from AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and ChatGPT.
Add the Elnora MCP server to your AI client. No installation required — just point to the remote URL.
claude mcp add elnora --transport http --scope user https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp
Installation scopes:
| Scope | Flag | Where it's stored | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| User | --scope user | ~/.claude.json | Available in all your projects (recommended) |
| Local | --scope local | Current project config | Single-project use (default if omitted) |
| Project | --scope project | .mcp.json in project root | Team sharing via version control |
Add to your Cursor MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):
{
"mcpServers": {
"elnora": {
"url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
Add to your .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"elnora": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
codex --mcp-config mcp.json
With mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"elnora": {
"url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
Add as a remote MCP server in ChatGPT settings using the URL https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp.
On first connection, a browser window will open for OAuth login. Subsequent requests use the issued token automatically.
Most MCP clients handle OAuth automatically. On first connection:
No manual configuration needed.
Create an API key in your Elnora dashboard and pass it via the X-API-Key header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"elnora": {
"url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}

| Feature Flags | 2 | Check feature availability |
| Health | 1 | Verify API connectivity |
"Use Elnora to generate a HEK 293 cell maintenance protocol"
The assistant will call elnora_generate_protocol with your description and return the generated protocol. This can take 30-120s for complex requests.
"List my files in Elnora, then show me the content of the most recent protocol"
"Show me my active Elnora tasks and get the messages from the latest one"
"Create a new project called 'Q3 Assays', add a folder for each cell line, and invite alex@example.com"
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 401 Unauthorized | Missing or expired token | Re-authenticate via OAuth or check your API key |
| 403 Forbidden | Insufficient permissions | Verify your account has access to the requested resource |
| 408 / Timeout | Complex operation taking too long | Protocol generation can take up to 120s — try again or simplify the request |
| Connection refused | Server unreachable | Check your internet connection; verify https://mcp.elnora.ai/health is accessible |
