Connect K-Dense lab instrument MCPs to your AI assistant

K-Dense lab instrument MCPs has no app of its own: you use it through an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT. You connect straight to the vendor's server; ToolGrail never sees your account.

MCP guide to local servers ↗
ChatGPT and claude.ai

These connect only to servers with a public web address, so a local server doesn't work there directly.
