Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command biolab/tools.py:44

    out = subprocess.run([binary, "version"], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=30, check=True)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 30

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

Create a persistent scientist research project.

get_project_report

Return collections, claims, evidence links, watches, and events for a project.

all

run_all_evidence_watches

artifact

get_artifact

Fetch an output artifact by its sha256 (text only; capped in size).

biorxiv

search_biorxiv

List bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints by category and log each to the audit trail. No free-text search exists on this API — only category listing (last 30 days). Args: category: category, e.g. "neuroscience", "bioinformatics", or "all" agent_id: which agent is asking, e.g. "aletheia:advocate" max_results: how many preprints to retrieve (default 5) server: "biorxiv" or "medrxiv" (default "biorxiv")

claim

create_claim

Create a scientific claim record without asserting that it is true.

clinicaltrials

search_clinicaltrials

Search ClinicalTrials.gov and log every retrieved study to the audit trail. Args: query: condition/disease search string, sent to ClinicalTrials.gov verbatim agent_id: which agent is asking, e.g. "aletheia:advocate" max_results: how many studies to retrieve (default 5)

europepmc

search_europepmc

Search Europe PMC and log every retrieved article to the audit trail. Args: query: exact search string, sent to Europe PMC verbatim — no normalization agent_id: which agent is asking, e.g. "aletheia:advocate" max_results: how many articles to retrieve (default 5)

executions

list_executions

List recent execution records, newest first.

fetch

fetch

Fetch one preserved evidence record by retrieval ID.

link

link_claim_evidence

Propose or record how one retrieval relates to a claim.

projects

list_projects

List scientist research projects.

pubmed

search_pubmed

Search PubMed and log every retrieved paper to the audit trail. Args: query: exact search string, sent to PubMed verbatim — no normalization agent_id: which agent is asking, e.g. "aletheia:advocate" max_results: how many papers to retrieve (default 5)

replay

replay_execution

Re-run a recorded execution and report whether its outputs reproduced. Writes nothing.

retrieval

get_retrieval

Retrieve a full retrieval record by its retrieval_id. Args: retrieval_id: the UUID returned by search_pubmed

search

Search all evidence sources for ChatGPT/Codex knowledge compatibility.

tool

run_tool

Run a registered tool and seal an ExecutionRecord (inputs, versions, output hashes). Args: tool: tool name from list_execution_tools inputs: tool inputs (JSON object); stored verbatim so the run can be replayed agent_id: calling agent or workflow identity retrieval_ids: evidence retrievals this run was derived from, for provenance links

trace

trace_claim

Trace a claim to supporting, conflicting, contextual, or insufficient evidence.

verify

verify_executions

Verify the execution hash chain and that every output artifact is intact.

Biolab MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Biolab MCP Server do?

It exposes 30 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_evidence_to_collection, create_claim, create_evidence_collection, create_evidence_watch, create_project, fetch and 24 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Biolab MCP Server mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around evidence, project and execution. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Biolab MCP Server working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 200 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Biolab MCP Server as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Biolab MCP Server?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Biolab MCP Server need an API key?

No. Biolab MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 30 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is Biolab MCP Server open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at srikarjy025-biolab-mcp.hf.space, which runs on its operator's own terms.
