Repo for the Claude Code Marketplace to use with the Claude for Life Sciences Launch. This will continue to host the marketplace.json long-term, but not the actual MCP servers.

How to install Life Sciences in Grok Build

1. Add this repo as a plugin marketplace in Grok Build (once per computer):

grok plugin marketplace add anthropics/life-sciences

2. Install the plugin:

grok plugin install pubmed@anthropics/life-sciences --trust

✓ Install-checked in Grok Buildchecked Oct 18, 2026

Needs your own API key or sign-in to work fully. We check that it installs and loads, not your account.

Review before you trust it. --trust lets this plugin's hooks, MCP servers and scripts run code on your computer. It's a community repo that neither xAI nor GrokStacks has reviewed, so read its code first.

This repo's marketplace has 21 plugins; we checked biorender, pubmed. Install another the same way: grok plugin install <name>@anthropics/life-sciences --trust (names under 'What it contains'). Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.

Inside Grok Build: type /plugins, open the Marketplace tab, press a and add anthropics/life-sciences, then select pubmed and press i.

Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide

Needs a sign-in. Its MCP server is hosted by the vendor, and most hosted MCP servers ask you to sign in the first time. In Grok, open /mcps, select the server and press i to sign in.

What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found its components. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
