OpenMHP
An MCP server giving agents safe control of laboratory instruments.
OpenMHP (Open Model Hardware Protocol) is an Apache-2.0 MCP server that connects AI agents to laboratory instruments — microscopes, liquid handlers, robotic arms — bridging to OPC UA, ROS 2, SiLA 2, MADSci and PyLabRobot; it is distinct from Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard (MHS), with which it is frequently confused.
Caveat: Very new and low-visibility: the domain was registered in September 2026 and independent third-party coverage is essentially absent. Included for completeness with an explicit maturity warning.
