Protocols.io Integration

Overview

protocols.io hosts versioned, citable scientific protocols (each published version gets a DOI under 10.17504/protocols.io.*), plus team workspaces, experiment run records, and a file manager. It offers two programmatic routes:

• Official MCP server — https://www.protocols.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP; OAuth 2.0 sign-in or a Bearer client token). It is also listed in Claude's connector directory as "protocols.io".
• REST API — base https://www.protocols.io/api, split across versions: most endpoints are v3, while getting/updating protocols, protocol steps, run records, file-manager search, and organization exports use v4. The API reference is https://apidoc.protocols.io/.

When to Use This Skill

• Searching protocols.io for protocols by keyword, author, or workspace, or resolving a protocol from its DOI or URI
• Reading a protocol's steps and materials (as Markdown, HTML, or Draft.js JSON) to analyse, adapt, or compare it
• Creating a private protocol, filling in its metadata and steps, and publishing it (or reserving a DOI) for citation in a paper
• Reading or posting protocol comments and step discussions
• Listing or joining workspaces, searching workspace files, uploading files, and exporting an organization's content
• Creating and updating experiment run records for a protocol
