Elentoo for AI assistants

Hook Elentoo up to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client so antibody pricing answers come from our normalized index — not from a model guessing.

What it can do

search_reagents — find reagents by target, clone, or catalog number
clone_pricing — exact clone pricing, normalized per µg/µL/test
price_panel — price a whole flow-cytometry panel across vendors

Every tool reports no_match explicitly when nothing is found — the assistant is told not to guess or substitute. Limits: 30 requests/min, 20 results max, 50-marker panels.

Keys are free for researchers. We only ask for an email so we can reach you if limits change.

Connect

ChatGPT (desktop app)

ChatGPT only supports OAuth for custom connectors (no API keys) and requires a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu). We support OAuth, so it works out of the box:

Open the ChatGPT desktop app and update it — MCP needs a recent version
Go to Settings → Connectors (sometimes under Apps & Connectors)
Enable Developer mode under Advanced settings if you see it
Choose Create connector (or Add custom connector)
Name: Elentoo · URL: https://mcp.elentoo.com
Authentication: choose OAuth
When ChatGPT opens our authorization page, paste your Elentoo key and approve
Enable the connector in a new chat via the + / Tools / Connectors menu

Don't have a key yet? Get one in the section above first — you'll need it during the OAuth step.

Claude Desktop

Open Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste the mcpServers block (replacing <YOUR_KEY>). The config file lives at:

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elentoo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.elentoo.com",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

If your Claude build doesn't accept url + headers directly, the mcp-remote wrapper works on any version:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elentoo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.elentoo.com", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_KEY>"]
    }
  }
}

Fully quit and restart Claude after editing the config.

Cursor (and other clients)

In your project root, create or edit .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elentoo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.elentoo.com",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Any MCP client works with the generic form: endpoint POST https://mcp.elentoo.com, header Authorization: Bearer elnt_live_….
