LabMCP: Let AI Assistants Run Your Lab Instruments

LabMCP lets an AI assistant such as Claude operate your laboratory instruments. You describe what you want in plain language, and the assistant weighs, heats, stirs, pumps, measures and logs for you. It stays inside safety limits you set, keeps a record of every command, and has a practice mode that needs no hardware.

It supports balances, hotplate stirrers, syringe pumps, spectrometers, mass spectrometers, potentiostats, lock-in amplifiers, temperature controllers, vacuum gauges, flow controllers, biosensors, clinical analyzers and more. You don’t need to know how to program. Setup means installing one free helper program and pasting a few lines into your AI app’s settings.

Free and open source, built by K-Dense.

You:        Tare the balance, then heat the stirrer to 60 °C at 400 rpm and log the pH every
            30 s until it's stable. Tell me when to add the reagent.

Assistant:  [tares the balance → sets stirring to 400 rpm → sets heating to 60 °C → logs pH …]
            "pH has been 7.41 ± 0.01 for 3 minutes. Ready for the reagent."

💡 How it works

  You  ──type──▶  AI app  ──▶  LabMCP connector  ──USB / serial / network cable──▶  Instrument
                 (Claude,       (runs on the computer
                  Cursor, …)     attached to the instrument)

• The AI app is where you type requests, e.g. Claude Desktop.
