Common questions

Is Elnora MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

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

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

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (Settings > MCP Servers):

"mcpServers": { "elnora": { "url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp" } } }

VS Code (Copilot)

Add to your .vscode/mcp.json:

"servers": { "elnora": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp" } } }

Codex

codex --mcp-config mcp.json

With mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "elnora": { "url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp" } } }

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:

"mcpServers": { "elnora": { "url": "https://mcp.elnora.ai/mcp", "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

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.

Category	Tools	What you can do
Protocols	1	Generate optimized bioprotocols from natural language descriptions
Tasks	6	Create conversation threads, send messages, get AI responses
Messages	1	Chat with Elnora's AI within a task context
Files	18	Upload, download, version, fork, and manage protocol files
Projects	10	Create projects and manage team membership
Organizations	13	Org settings, billing, member invitations
Folders	5	Organize files into nested folder structures
Library	5	Access the organization's shared protocol library
Search	3	Full-text search across tasks, files, and all resources
API Keys	3	Create and manage personal API keys
Audit	1	Query organization audit logs
Account	4	Manage user profile and agreements
Feedback	1	Submit platform feedback
Feature Flags	2	Check feature availability
Health	1	Verify API connectivity

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 alex@example.com"

Troubleshooting

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
