OpenHCS MCP

OpenHCS provides a local MCP server that exposes high-content microscopy workflow capabilities to AI agents. It allows agents to inspect, author, validate, and run plate-based microscopy pipelines. The server integrates with the OpenHCS desktop GUI, Python API, and CellProfiler imports, enabling agents to compile workflows, manage image data from sources like ImageXpress and OMERO, and execute analysis across multiple GPUs or CPU workers while maintaining reproducibility and state.
