The server completed its last measured handshake. This is an observation, not a guarantee.

Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work
Start using org.biobricks/site
Choose your client, copy the configuration, then enable the server in your client’s MCP settings.
Run this command in your terminal, then restart Claude Code.

The columns, which of them are numeric, the row count and the provenance banner of the BioBricks dataset. Call this first to learn the schema.
DiscoveredThe rows of the BioBricks dataset whose column is any of the given values, in the order given — for "X vs Y" questions.
DiscoveredThe source, the date it was computed, the licence and the citation for the BioBricks dataset. Read this to attribute a figure correctly.
DiscoveredThe rows of the BioBricks dataset where a column equals a value exactly (case-insensitive).
DiscoveredRows of the BioBricks dataset whose cells contain the query (case-insensitive), up to 50.
Discoveredcount, min, max, mean, median and sum of a numeric column of the BioBricks dataset (grouping commas and currency are handled; non-numeric rows are excluded and counted).
DiscoveredThe highest (or lowest) rows of the BioBricks dataset by a numeric column — "which is the most/least X".
DiscoveredRead first. States plainly what submit_enquiry does on BioBricks: it starts an enquiry with human providers who quote directly. Nothing is bought, ordered or paid; no quote is guaranteed; it is free. Also returns who receives the details, the consent wording, and how the person confirms.
DiscoveredEvery field of the BioBricks enquiry: key, label, type, whether required, help text and the allowed options where there are any. Pass answers to submit_enquiry keyed by field key.
DiscoveredSubmits an enquiry to BioBricks — NOT a purchase, NOT a guaranteed quote. Step 1: call with the answers (keyed by field key from enquiry_fields) and consent=true; it validates and returns a summary, the consent line and a confirmation token — show the person the summary and the consent line. Step 2: only if the person agrees, call again with the same answers, consent=true and the confirmation token; the enquiry is then submitted, and the person receives an email with a link they must click before any provider sees it. Consent means the person has read and agreed to: "Send my contact details to up to three gene synthesis and research supply firms, chosen by BioBricks, who'll contact me directly. I'll be emailed each firm's name as my details go to it, and can stop any more firms getting them."
