New Era Syringe Pump MCP Server

Let an AI agent set up the syringe, infuse or withdraw an exact volume at a set rate, follow the dispensed volume and stop New Era Pump Systems syringe pumps through their documented RS-232 Basic-mode command set. Its 11 documented tools cover dispensed, volume, syringe.

People who work with dispensed, volume and syringe and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

One of 32 MCP servers published from k-dense-ai/lab-instrument-mcps. Stars and repository activity are shared across all of them. See all 32 →

01 · Install New Era Syringe Pump

Claude Code

claude mcp add k-dense-ai-lab-instrument-mcps-servers-b -- uvx labmcp-new-era

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "k-dense-ai-lab-instrument-mcps-servers-b": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "labmcp-new-era"
      ]
    }

}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-09-25 - young repo, little track record yet

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package labmcp-new-era - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.K-Dense-AI is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What New Era Syringe Pump can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

Limitations (from the README)

- Diameter is everything. The pump converts volume to plunger travel from the inside diameter. Presets come from the reference table in the NE-1000 manual (section 12.7); always confirm against your syringe manufacturer's data. Changing the diameter resets the dispensed-volume counters, and the pump works in µL for diameters ≤ 14.0 mm and in mL above. - Stored program is overwritten. infuse/withdraw program phase 1 a
