The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Chemical safety intelligence for AI-assisted experiment design.
Powered by ChainSDS — a verified, always-current chemical safety database. Verified. Current. Growing.
An MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, pi, etc.) access to chemical safety reasoning — compatibility checks, hazard analysis, regulatory compliance, PPE recommendations, storage guidance, and more.
Built for researchers who design experiments with AI and need safety verification integrated into their workflow.
When you use Claude to plan a synthesis route or set up an Opentrons protocol, safety validation shouldn't be a separate step. This MCP server lets your AI assistant automatically:

git clone https://github.com/littleblakew/msds-chain-mcp.git
cd msds-chain-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txtClaude Code (Remote — recommended):
claude mcp add msds-chain --transport http https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcpThen run /mcp in Claude Code and authenticate — a browser opens to sign in (email code); your account is provisioned automatically and calls are metered to you (free plan includes a monthly free quota). The legacy SSE endpoint (--transport sse --url https://mcp.lagentbot.com/sse) still works but streamable HTTP is preferred.
Claude Code (Plugin — includes skill + MCP):
/plugin install https://github.com/littleblakew/msds-chain-mcp.gitClaude Code (npm — local):
claude mcp add msds-chain -- npx -y msds-chain-mcp@latestclaude.ai (Web): Search "msds-chain" in Settings > Plugins (already published).
Manual config (Claude Code ~/.claude.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"msds-chain": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcp"
}
}
}Restart Claude Code, run /mcp, and authenticate (OAuth). You should then see msds-chain in the MCP tools list. (Prefer a static key instead of OAuth? Pass it as a header — --header "Authorization: Bearer sk-msds-your-key" — for headless clients.)
The /msds-safety-check skill provides auto-detection and guided audit workflows.
Plugin install (includes skill + MCP automatically):

and bromobenzene. Check if this setup is safe.
Claude:
→ calls batch_safety_check(["magnesium", "diethyl ether", "bromobenzene"])
→ Returns: compatibility matrix, PPE requirements, storage groupingUser: My Opentrons deck has these in different slots:
Slot 1: Acetone, Slot 3: Concentrated H2SO4, Slot 5: Methanol,
Slot 7: Sodium borohydride. Any safety issues?
Claude:

What transport regulations apply?
Claude:

Server URL (preferred): https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
The hosted endpoint serves both transports — streamable HTTP (/mcp, preferred) and SSE (/sse, for clients that only speak SSE: Claude.ai, 悟空, Dify, Coze, etc.). Calls are metered per authenticated user.
| Transport | Endpoint | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Streamable HTTP | https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcp | Preferred — broadest, most robust |
| SSE | https://mcp.lagentbot.com/sse | For SSE-only clients |
Authentication: either OAuth (the client opens a browser sign-in on first connect) or a static header — Authorization: Bearer sk-msds-your-key — for headless clients.
