We build open-source infrastructure to package, share, and deploy #MCP servers for scientific applications.
🔗 GitHub: github.com/CrackingShells
🐣 Early-stage, hackathon-driven, and growing.
Announcing our 2nd #MCP Hackathon – Nov 25-26 @ #RIKEN Kobe, Japan!

After a closed first edition in August, we’re back open to all! Join up to 50 researchers/engineers to build MCP servers for scientific applications.

Last week at #ICSB2025, we shared how #MCP can make LLM-based agents reliable for #SystemsBiology.

MCP was barely known there. All the more reason for Cracking Shells to exist: simplifying onboarding for researchers.

Last week's #DevLog

Hatch! 0.7.0 now lets you add MCP packages with one command—It's multi-dependencies and multi-host.

Finally some versatility for #MCP setup 🐣

Still a pre-release, bug fixes & docs in progress!

Here is nome inspiration from real-world MCP workflows (Slack → Notion/HubSpot).
That could transfer to #LabAutomation e.g., routing logs from robotic systems or equipment notifications to research trackers.
That could work today with systems we already have.

Last week, we hosted our first #MCP hackathon for science with 22 #researchers (computational physics, chemistry, biology).
None had used MCP or LLMs APIs before. By the end, they’d created their own MCP servers.
This was invite-only, but more events are coming! 🐣 #AIForScience
