Overview

AI-generated overview

BioBricks' own remote MCP server, letting an assistant query its dataset and prepare a human enquiry with providers.

What you can do
Inspect the dataset schema, numeric columns, row count and provenance banner, then search rows by text or exact column value and compare rows across given values in order. Compute count, min, max, mean, median and sum of a numeric column, and list the highest or lowest rows by a numeric column. Read the dataset's source, computation date, licence and citation for correct attribution. Describe the enquiry process and list every enquiry field with its key, type, required flag, help text and allowed options. Submit an enquiry with answers keyed by field key and consent, receiving a summary, consent line and confirmation token.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions from the BioBricks dataset, attribute figures correctly, or start a free enquiry that hands details to human providers for quotes.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at biobricks.org; no package, environment variables or headers are declared, and no authentication is declared.
Before you install
Submitting an enquiry sends the person's details to human providers, so review the consent wording and summary before confirming; it is not a purchase or a guaranteed quote. Dataset figures should be attributed using the provenance tool.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Site in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/org.biobricks%2Fsite/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.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Tools

dataset_columns

Dataset columns and shape

The columns, which of them are numeric, the row count and the provenance banner of the BioBricks dataset. Call this first to learn the schema.

Takes no parameters.

dataset_row

Look a row up by an exact key

The rows of the BioBricks dataset where a column equals a value exactly (case-insensitive).

Parametersvaluerequiredcolumnrequired

dataset_compare

Compare rows side by side

The rows of the BioBricks dataset whose column is any of the given values, in the order given — for "X vs Y" questions.

Parameterscolumnrequiredvaluesrequired

dataset_stats

Summary statistics for a numeric column

count, min, max, mean, median and sum of a numeric column of the BioBricks dataset (grouping commas and currency are handled; non-numeric rows are excluded and counted).

Parameterscolumnrequired

dataset_top

Rank rows by a numeric column

The highest (or lowest) rows of the BioBricks dataset by a numeric column — "which is the most/least X".

Parameterslimitcolumnrequiredascending

dataset_provenance

Where this data comes from, and how to cite it

The source, the date it was computed, the licence and the citation for the BioBricks dataset. Read this to attribute a figure correctly.

Takes no parameters.

enquiry_describe

What you get: an ENQUIRY with a human (not a purchase, not a guaranteed quote)

Read first. States plainly what submit_enquiry does on BioBricks: it starts an enquiry with human providers who quote directly. Nothing is bought, ordered or paid; no quote is guaranteed; it is free. Also returns who receives the details, the consent wording, and how the person confirms.

Takes no parameters.

enquiry_fields

The questions the enquiry asks

Every field of the BioBricks enquiry: key, label, type, whether required, help text and the allowed options where there are any. Pass answers to submit_enquiry keyed by field key.

Takes no parameters.

submit_enquiry

Submit an ENQUIRY to human providers (two steps; not a purchase)

Submits an enquiry to BioBricks — NOT a purchase, NOT a guaranteed quote. Step 1: call with the answers (keyed by field key from enquiry_fields) and consent=true; it validates and returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token — show the person the summary and the consent line. Step 2: only if the person agrees, call again with the same answers, consent=true and the confirmation token; the enquiry is then submitted, and the person receives an email with a link they must click before any provider sees it. Consent means the person has read and agreed to: "Send my contact details to up to three gene synthesis and research supply firms, chosen by BioBricks, who'll contact me directly. I'll be emailed each firm's name as my details go to it, and can stop any more firms getting them."

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
