Elnora MCP Server
io.github.Elnora-AIPublished by GitHub account Elnora-AIv0.1.1Updated Nov 2, 2026
AI-powered bioprotocol optimization — generate, search, and manage lab protocols via MCP
Overview
Connects an assistant to the Elnora bioprotocol platform to generate, search, and manage lab protocols, files, projects, and tasks.
- What you can do
- Generate optimized bioprotocols from natural-language descriptions
- Create task threads, send messages, and get AI responses
- Upload, download, version, fork, and organize protocol files in folders
- Create projects, manage team membership, and invite members
- Search across tasks, files, and resources; browse the shared protocol library
- Manage organization settings, billing, API keys, audit logs, and account profile
- When to use it
- Useful for researchers and lab teams already on Elnora who want an AI assistant to draft protocols, find existing protocol files, or organize projects and tasks without leaving the chat client.
- Requirements
- A remote endpoint at mcp.elnora.ai (no installation needed) or the npm package over stdio. An Elnora account with OAuth 2.1 login, or an Elnora API key passed in the X-API-Key header or as a bearer token. Internet access to the service.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Elnora MCP Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.Elnora-AI%2Felnora-mcp-server/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Other MCP clients
Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Elnora MCP Server
Connect AI agents to the Elnora bioprotocol optimization platform via the Model Context Protocol.
What is Elnora?
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.
Quick Start
Add the Elnora MCP server to your AI client. No installation required — just point to the remote URL.
Setting this up from inside a coding agent? See INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md for a step-by-step, self-verifying runbook (client config, auth, and a smoke test).
Claude Code
Installation scopes:
Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):
VS Code (Copilot)
Add to your .vscode/mcp.json:
Codex
With mcp.json:
ChatGPT
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.
Authentication
OAuth 2.1 (Recommended)
Most MCP clients handle OAuth automatically. On first connection:
- A browser window opens for login
- If the application is a hosted (web) connector, a consent screen shows which application is requesting access and where the authorization code will be delivered — review it and approve
- You authenticate with your Elnora account
- The client receives a token and uses it for subsequent requests
No manual configuration needed.
API Key
Create an API key in your Elnora dashboard and pass it via the X-API-Key header:
If your client only exposes a single bearer/token field, you can instead pass
the same key as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY — the server accepts an
Elnora API key on either header.
Security best practices:
- Never commit API keys to version control
- Use environment variables or a secrets manager
- Rotate keys periodically via the Elnora dashboard
- Use OAuth when possible — it handles token refresh automatically
Capabilities
74 tools across 15 categories. All tools are discoverable through your MCP client's tool listing.
Examples
Generate a bioprotocol
"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.
Search and read files
"List my files in Elnora, then show me the content of the most recent protocol"
Manage tasks
"Show me my active Elnora tasks and get the messages from the latest one"
Organize a project
"Create a new project called 'Q3 Assays', add a folder for each cell line, and invite [email protected]"
