Connect Codon Usage Optimization to ChatGPT and Claude

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Convert protein sequences into optimized DNA for specific hosts.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Codon Optimization Service.

  1. 01

    Analyze codon usage

    This capability provides a statistical profile of how a DNA sequence uses codons relative to a specific host.

  2. 02

    Validate host compatibility

    This capability checks if a protein sequence is likely to work with a host's translation machinery.

  3. 03

    Calculate complexity metrics

    Use this to evaluate the physical and structural properties of a DNA sequence.

  4. 04

    Optimize sequence

    This capability generates an optimized DNA sequence from a protein sequence based on your chosen expression host.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Heterologous Expression

Optimize a protein sequence for expression in E. coli or H. sapiens.

02

Sequence Validation

Check if a new DNA sequence has the right structural properties for synthesis.

03

Host Compatibility Testing

Predict if a specific protein will work in S. cerevisiae before starting lab work.

04

Codon Bias Analysis

Analyze how a sequence's codon usage compares to a target host's profile.

One connector, every AI

Codon Optimization Service works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Codon Optimization Service to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Codon Optimization Service, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Codon Optimization Service. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Codon Optimization Service owners hand off.

This MCP is designed for professionals working in synthetic biology and genetic engineering who need to automate sequence design.

  • 01

    Synthetic Biologists

    They hand off protein sequences to the AI to get optimized DNA for expression.

  • 02

    Genetic Engineers

    They use the agent to validate host compatibility and sequence complexity.

  • 03

    Bioinformatics Researchers

    They use the capabilities to profile codon usage and structural properties.

FAQ

Questions Codon Optimization Service owners ask.

  • 01

    What hosts can I optimize sequences for?

    The MCP supports optimization for hosts like E. coli and H. sapiens.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    How does it handle protein to DNA conversion?

    The optimize_sequence capability takes a protein sequence and generates a DNA sequence tailored to the specific host's codon usage.

  • 04

    Does it predict translation success?

    Yes, the validate_host_compatibility capability predicts if a protein is likely to be compatible with a host's translation machinery.

  • 05

    Where is the MCP hosted?

    Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so you don't need to run it locally.

  • 06

    How does the optimization process work?

    The server uses codon usage bias data to select synonymous codons that maximize the Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) for your chosen host.

  • 07

    Can I avoid specific restriction sites?

    Yes, when using optimize_sequence, you can set the avoidRestrictionSites parameter to true to minimize common enzyme recognition sites.

  • 08

    What hosts are supported?

    The server supports a wide range of hosts including E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and H. sapiens.
