Connect Talindrew to Goose
Talindrew's MCP server gives Goose a molecular biology toolkit: plasmid maps, restriction digests and gels, primer and CRISPR design, PubMed search, your saved sequences and lab notebook, and structure prediction. Install with one link; Goose can render Talindrew's panels with its Apps extension.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Talindrew is a remote MCP server at https://mcp.talindrew.com/mcp. Goose connects to it over Streamable HTTP and signs in with OAuth; OAuth in your browser (CIMD or dynamic registration).
Experimentally. Goose can render MCP Apps when its setting is on; otherwise it gets the same results as text and data, with links that open them in the Talindrew app.
Yes, to start. Connecting is free, and the sequence analysis, primer, CRISPR, literature and lab-notebook tools include 25 calls a week on the free plan; Plus ($9 a month, 7-day free trial) makes them unlimited. Structure prediction and FoldRx drug-discovery runs use the monthly allowance of a Pro or Max plan, exactly as in the app.
Try: "Use Talindrew to find the restriction sites in pUC19 and show me the map." or "Ask Talindrew for the melting temperature of CGTTGTAAAACGACGGCCAGTGAAT." Talindrew has 90 tools covering sequence analysis, digests and gels, primers, CRISPR guides, protein properties, cloning reactions in a workspace, PubMed and Europe PMC, NCBI Gene, Addgene, your saved sequences and notebook, and structure prediction.
