ToolUniverse Plugin for Codex

1000+ scientific research tools for biology, chemistry, medicine, and data science.

What is included

  • MCP server configuration for ToolUniverse discovery and execution tools.
  • Generated copies of ToolUniverse skills from the repository root skills/ directory.
  • Research workflows for genomics, drug discovery, clinical analysis, literature review, statistical modeling, and scientific data analysis.

Install

codex plugin marketplace add mims-harvard/ToolUniverse
codex plugin add tooluniverse -m tooluniverse

Codex auto-upgrades configured marketplaces on startup, so plugin updates arrive on the next launch. The tools are served over MCP via uvx tooluniverse (the package is fetched automatically).

Development

The skills/ directory in this plugin is generated. Do not edit it directly.

Update the canonical skills under the repository root skills/ directory, then run the shared sync — it rebuilds the skill copies for BOTH the Claude and Codex plugins (and applies the Codex-specific normalizations):

plugin/sync-skills.sh

To assemble the distributable Codex bundle:

scripts/build-codex-plugin.sh

The build output is written to:

dist/tooluniverse-codex-plugin/
