name: kw-bio-research description: Use when preclinical R&D toolkit connecting Claude to 11 external data sources (literature, chemistry, clinical trials, genomics) with 5 analysis skills.

Bio-Research (Preclinical R&D)

Anthropic's Bio-Research plugin consolidates 11 MCP server integrations and 5 analysis skills into one bundle for life sciences researchers. Data sources include PubMed and NLM biomedical literature, bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints, Consensus for peer-reviewed synthesis, Wiley journals, Sage Bionetworks for research data management, ChEMBL for bioactive drug-like compounds, Open Targets for target discovery and prioritization, ClinicalTrials.gov, BioRender for scientific illustration, Owkin for AI in histopathology and drug discovery, and Benchling for lab data management. Analysis skills cover literature review search, single-cell (scRNA-seq QC via scvi-tools), sequencing pipelines (GEO/SRA + nf-core), drug discovery, and research strategy.

What you get

• 11 connected MCPs (PubMed/NLM, bioRxiv/medRxiv, Consensus, Wiley, Sage Bionetworks, ChEMBL, Open Targets, ClinicalTrials.gov, BioRender, Owkin, Benchling)
• 5 skills (literature review search, single-cell analysis, sequencing pipeline, drug discovery, research strategy)
• scRNA-seq QC via scvi-tools
• GEO/SRA download + nf-core pipelines

Customize your output

• Data source: literature, preprints, chemical DB, clinical trials, drug targets, lab platform
• Analysis skill: literature review, single-cell, sequencing pipeline, drug discovery, research strategy

Example output

For a target-prioritization ask, Claude queries Open Targets for evidence tiers, pulls the top PubMed and bioRxiv papers per target, checks ChEMBL for existing chemical matter, and ranks candidates with evidence citations.

Best for

Preclinical life-sciences researchers and computational biologists working on target ID, single-cell analysis, and drug discovery
