Privacy

🛡️ Data collection

This site collects nothing. Zero cookies, zero tracking, zero analytics. All processing happens in your browser or on the server you connect to.

☁️ Server-side storage

MCP registration tokens are self-contained JWTs. No credentials are stored on the server. NOMAD and elab-app handle their own authentication independently.

🌐 External requests

The MCP endpoints connect to your configured elabFTW or DataTagger instance using your API key. No data is sent elsewhere. GitHub icon loads from github.com.

⚖️ GDPR

Designed around GDPR Articles 5(1)(c) (data minimisation), 25 (privacy by design), and 32 (security). You control all data via your own API tokens.

⚠️ What we can't control

Your hosting platform's access logs, your ISP's visibility, browser extensions, and third-party API providers are outside our scope.

Research Data Platform

MCP servers for DataTagger and elabFTW, plus web GUIs for NOMAD, elabFTW, and Proespm.

MCP Servers

Register your API credentials and get a JWT token for any MCP client.

DataTagger MCP

/dt

Tag and manage research datasets on the DataTagger (FDM) platform. Query metadata, tags, and search datasets through your MCP client.

elabFTW MCP

/el

Connect to your elabFTW electronic lab notebook via MCP. Manage experiments, database items, and metadata from any AI editor.

How to use the MCP servers
1

Register

Click an MCP card above, paste your API key or FDM token, and get back a self-contained JWT URL. No credentials stored on the server.

2

Copy the JWT URL

The token embeds your credentials, signed with the server secret. Valid for 30 days. Survives restarts.

3

Paste in your agent

Add it to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Hermes, etc.). That's it. You are connected.
