How does this MCP handle different types of polymerases?

The capability uses the specific characteristics of your chosen polymerase to calculate extension times and other parameters.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

Does it calculate reagent amounts?

Yes, the generate_reagent_concentrations capability provides specific molar concentrations for your reaction mixture.

What data do I need to provide for an annealing temperature?

You should provide the primer Tm, the GC content, and the type of template being used.

Is this for automated lab equipment?

The calculated parameters can be used to program thermal cyclers or feed into lab automation workflows.

How does the capability determine the annealing temperature?

The calculate_annealing_params capability calculates the temperature by evaluating the primer Tm, the GC content of the target, and the complexity of the template type.

Can I optimize for different polymerase types?

Yes, you can use calculate_extension_settings and generate_reagent_concentrations to get specific settings for Standard, High-Fidelity, or Long-Range polymerases.

What inputs are required for cycle estimation?

To use estimate_cycle_count, you need to provide the template type, the amplicon length, and the GC content.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through PCR Protocol Optimizer.

01
Calculate annealing params
This capability finds the best temperature for your primers to bind to the template.
02
Calculate extension settings
It determines the necessary extension duration based on your target size and enzyme speed.
03
Estimate cycle count
This capability predicts how many thermal cycles you need to reach detectable amplicon levels.
04
Generate reagent concentrations
It provides specific molar concentrations for your reaction mixture components.

Real work

What teams actually run

High GC Content Challenges

Use the capability to get enhancer recommendations and temperature adjustments for difficult templates.

Large Amplicon Design

Calculate the exact extension time needed for long DNA fragments using specific enzymes.

Standardizing Protocols

Generate consistent reagent concentrations across different lab runs.

Initial Cycle Planning

Estimate how many cycles are necessary to reach the detection threshold for a new target.

One connector, every AI

PCR Protocol Optimizer 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 PCR Protocol Optimizer 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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