Elnora Platform
Route Elnora Platform queries to the correct sub-skill. Load only what is needed.
What is Elnora?
Elnora is an AI-powered platform that helps researchers generate, optimize, and manage bioprotocols for wet-lab experiments. This plugin connects your agent to the Elnora Platform via MCP.
Authentication
Auth is handled automatically by the MCP connection:
- OAuth 2.1 (recommended): Browser popup on first use, tokens refresh automatically
- API Key: Set as Bearer token in MCP headers (create at platform.elnora.ai > Settings > API Keys)
No manual login required.
Token Efficiency
All MCP tools support two optional params for reducing token usage:
| Param |
Effect |
compact: true |
Strip null/empty values (~30-40% savings). Always use in agent workflows. |
fields: "id,name" |
Return only specified fields. Applied to each item in paginated results. |

Organization Context
Most org-scoped tools (projects, tasks, files, folders, search) accept an
optional org_id parameter (UUID). When provided, the operation targets that
organization instead of the user's active org. The user must be a member of the
target org.
Workflow for org switching:
- Call
elnora_list_orgs first to discover available org IDs and names
- Pass the target
org_id to any org-scoped tool (e.g., elnora_list_projects, elnora_create_task)
- By-ID tools (get, update, archive, delete) do NOT need
org_id — they resolve via ownership
ID Format
All IDs are UUIDs (e.g., bfdc6fbd-40ed-4042-9ea7-c79a5ec90085).
Pagination
List endpoints return paginated results:
{"items": [...], "page": 1, "pageSize": 25, "totalCount": N, "totalPages": N, "hasNextPage": true}
Use page and pageSize parameters (max 100). Check hasNextPage to paginate.
Message endpoints use cursor-based pagination: check hasMore and pass cursor from nextCursor.
Common Workflow
Projects contain tasks and files. Typical flow:
elnora_list_projects — get project IDelnora_create_task — start a conversation with Elnora AIelnora_send_message — describe the protocol you needelnora_get_task_messages — read the AI responseelnora_list_files — browse generated outputselnora_get_file_content — read a protocol file
Quick Protocol Generation
For one-shot protocol generation, use elnora_generate_protocol:
description: What protocol you need (e.g., "HEK 293 cell maintenance protocol")- Returns the complete generated protocol
