Synthesize Bio MCP
for LuumenAI

Start and track gene-expression analyses from a plain-language experiment brief

Connect Synthesize Bio and Luumen can turn a written experiment description into structured sample groups, check them against the controlled ontology, and start a bulk or single-cell differential expression run. It polls job status, and hands back a presigned URL for the raw counts data when results are ready. Authentication is handled over OAuth with dynamic client registration.

The Synthesize Bio MCP toolbox

5 tools: 4 read, 1 write. Reads answer instantly. Writes require approval by default. Everything is logged.

  • ReadGet analysis resultsPolls the status of a gene expression analysis.
  • ReadGet counts data urlReturns a presigned S3 URL to download the raw gene expression counts data (JSON) produced by a completed or in-progress analysis job.
  • ReadGet metadata schemaReturns the structured-metadata schema used to turn a natural-language experiment description into sample groups.
  • ReadResolve sample metadataDeterministically harmonizes already-structured sample `groups` to Synthesize Bio's controlled ontology vocabulary.

Questions

How does LuumenAI connect to Synthesize Bio MCP?

Authorize once with OAuth 2.0. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

Can LuumenAI change things in Synthesize Bio MCP on its own?

Read actions answer immediately. Anything that writes — analyze gene expression — is shown as a plan and requires approval by default, including the 1 action classified as destructive. Administrators configure that per tool, so you decide exactly which actions can ever run unattended.

Who gets access to the integration?

You decide. Actions are granted per agent, skill, and team, and per environment — production is not staging. Read access can be broad while writes stay narrow.

Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Synthesize Bio MCP — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result, and can be linked to the ticket or change record.
