| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| od600 | number | Yes | Raw absorbance reading of the (possibly diluted) sample at 600 nm. |
| blankOd | number | No | Absorbance of sterile medium; subtracted from the reading. |
| organism | select | Yes | — |
| customFactor | number | No | Your own calibration slope (CFU/mL at OD600 = 1); used when the preset is Custom. |
| sampleDilution | number | Yes |
MCP integration
Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

}
}List available tools
After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
tools/list
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Call this tool
Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "bacterial-growth-od",
"arguments": {
"od600": 0.45,
"blankOd": 0.02,
"organism": "ecoli",
"customFactor": 0,
"sampleDilution": 1,
"cultureVolumeMl": 0
}
}
}Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
