v0.1.0by MiniMax-AI · author: Presisitence
Vendor-neutral life-science Agent Plugin: public bio APIs, local RNA figures, safe molecular tools, and independent review.
What bio-research-forge does, in the publisher's words
Evidence-first life-science workbench for MiniMax Code. The Plugin ships twelve Agent Skills plus three local stdio MCP servers: public biological APIs (with provenance), RNA result figures (PNG/PDF + plotted data), and bounded local molecular tools (PyMOL render / SnapGene / Cytoscape / Fiji).
It does not bundle genomes, expression matrices, credentials, or species-specific private portals. Private tables stay on the user's machine. Public queries are allowlisted and read-only. This package is the portable Agent Plugins 1.0 subset; it does not include Codex marketplace adapters, hooks, custom agents, LSP, Apps, OAuth, or TUI extensions.
Standalone source: https://github.com/Presisitence/bio-research-forge
- Node.js 18+ on PATH (mcp.json starts each server with node and cwd: ${PLUGIN_ROOT}).
- Optional NCBI_API_KEY in the environment to raise NCBI rate limits. No key is shipped.

Skills · 12
- bio-research-orchestrator
- Coordinate a life-science research request that spans design, public databases, omics, statistics, writing, figures, reproducibility, or independent review. Use for multi-stage research work; do not use for a single narrow lookup.
- evidence-review
- Independently review a life-science manuscript, analysis, figure package, or repository for claim support, citation validity, numeric traceability, figure-code-data consistency, reproducibility, and privacy. Use as a final gate, not as author self-approval.
- experimental-design-gate
- Audit whether biological materials, sampling, controls, replication, and measurements can answer a proposed question before experiments or analysis. Use for study planning and Go/No-Go decisions.
- local-bio-toolkit
- Detect and selectively use local life-science desktop or structural tools, including safe PyMOL rendering and explicit file opening in SnapGene, Cytoscape, or Fiji. Use when a user asks to work with these installed applications; never install tools silently or accept arbitrary commands.
- manuscript-argument
- Draft or restructure life-science Introduction and Discussion sections from supplied claims, results, figures, and verified literature. Use for argument construction; do not invent evidence, citations, or causal strength.
- omics-workflow
- Plan, audit, or interpret public or user-authorized sequencing and omics workflows, including bulk RNA-seq, single-cell, amplicon, metagenomic, variant, and metabolomic analyses. Use only after design and metadata fit are checked.
- public-bio-databases
- Query public biological databases for genes, proteins, domains, structures, literature, networks, motifs, or general Solanaceae metadata through the bundled allowlisted MCP. Use for evidence lookup; never route private or pepper-specific data through it.
- quantitative-research
- Design or review statistical, mixed-model, Bayesian, or machine-learning analyses for life-science data. Use when the main risk is estimand, dependence, model choice, diagnostics, leakage, or uncertainty.
- reproducible-analysis
- Turn a life-science analysis into a cleanly rerunnable workflow with protected raw data, centralized parameters, fixed seeds, environment capture, provenance, and verified outputs. Use for publication or handoff-quality analysis.
- rna-figure-workflow
- Create and audit common RNA-seq result figures locally, including volcano, PCA, heatmap, expression boxplot, and enrichment dotplot, with PNG/PDF delivery and inline conversation preview. Use for RNA result plotting from user-selected tables; do not use private bundled datasets.
- scientific-figure-delivery
- Create, revise, or audit publication-grade life-science figures with source-data traceability, export QA, and a PNG preview shown directly in the agent conversation. Use for manuscript figures, not dashboards or decorative infographics.
- secure-compute-routing
- Decide whether a life-science computation should run locally, on a controlled HPC over SSH, or on an external cloud GPU based on data sensitivity, scale, cost, and reproducibility. Use before moving data or launching remote work.
