🚀 Quick Start

pip install labmate-mcp

Then add this to your Claude config:

<details> <summary><b>Claude Desktop</b> &nbsp;→&nbsp; <code>claude_desktop_config.json</code></summary>

<br>

On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "labmate": {
      "command": "labmate-mcp"
    }
  }

  }
}

</details>

<details> <summary><b>Docker</b></summary>

<br>

docker build -t labmate-mcp .
docker run -it labmate-mcp

</details>

<br>

💬 What Can I Do With This?

Just talk to Claude naturally:

<table> <tr><td>

"Find the most cited papers on copper-catalyzed C–H activation from the last 5 years"

Searches across multiple databases, ranks by citations, and gives you abstracts and AI-generated summaries.

</td></tr> <tr><td>

"Suzuki coupling, 150 mg aryl bromide (MW 261), 5 mol% Pd(PPh₃)₄, 1.3 eq boronic acid, 2.5 eq K₂CO₃ — how much of everything?"

Calculates exact masses for each reagent with your substrate as the limiting reagent.

</td></tr> <tr><td>

"I'm developing a new reaction. What should I be thinking about?"

Walks you through a structured reaction development checklist — covering everything from initial mechanistic hypotheses to scope exploration and scale-up.

</td></tr> <tr><td>

"I need to protect a primary amine — stable to acid, cleavable by hydrogenation"

Compares protecting groups against a stability matrix and suggests the best match (here: Cbz).

</td></tr> <tr><td>

"Format these DOIs as an ACS bibliography, then give me an experimental template for a Buchwald–Hartwig"

Generates a numbered reference list and a fill-in-the-blank procedure with suggested workup and safety notes.

</td></tr> </table>
