MCP for Addgene - Plasmid Repository API
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"addgene-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

MCP enables AI assistants and agents to search, filter, and retrieve comprehensive plasmid information through structured interfaces. The server provides direct access to Addgene's plasmid repository containing thousands of research-ready plasmids, complete with detailed metadata, sequence information, and availability data. Perfect for molecular biology research, synthetic biology, and genetic engineering applications. The Addgene repository contains: - **Plasmid Search**: Search through thousands of research plasmids with advanced filtering - **Sequence Information**: Access to plasmid sequences in multiple formats (SnapGene, GenBank, FASTA) - **Metadata Access**: Complete plasmid information including depositor, purpose, maps, and services - **Popular Plasmids**: Access to trending and highly-cited plasmids in the research community If you want to understand more about what the Model Context Protocol is and how to use it more efficiently, you can take the [DeepLearning AI Course](https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/…
