Capital Equipment

Connects Claude to a network of 500+ university and research core facilities with 1,771 indexed scientific instruments. You get 18 tools split between read-only discovery (search equipment by keyword or category, check pricing and compliance requirements, find researchers, browse linked research papers) and OAuth-gated transactions (check real-time availability, request bookings, submit service requests). Covers nine equipment categories from electron microscopes to chromatography systems to HPC clusters. Useful when you're scoping instrumentation for a research project, comparing facility rates across institutions, or need to automate equipment reservations without clicking through individual facility portals. Read operations work immediately, but booking requires OAuth connection through the connect_account tool.
