MSMCP: mass-spectrometry tools for AI workflows
An open-source MCP server lets AI clients inspect local mass-spectrometry files using deterministic tools for validation, quality control, and library search.
- For
- Mass-spectrometry researchers using AI clients
- Worth noticing
- It supports mzML, MGF, and imzML, while refusing vendor formats and keeping spectra on the local server.
Field notes
The server parses mzML, MGF, and imzML locally, returning metadata and an opaque, expiring reference instead of passing peak data into the prompt. A linked security note covers the allowed root and size caps, while vendor formats are refused with conversion guidance. In the worked search, the client polls a job while the library scan runs; the page reports 63,879 spectra scored and explicitly cautions that ranked matches are not validated compound identifications.
