LatchBio
Launch and monitor Nextflow bioinformatics pipelines from a conversation
Overview
What LatchBio does
Latch runs bioinformatics pipelines on managed infrastructure, so a Nextflow or Python workflow executes without anyone provisioning machines for it. The connector covers the operational loop rather than the science: browsing data in the Latch workspace, starting a workflow run and monitoring executions as they progress. That makes it a control plane, with the heavy computation happening on Latch and only status and file references crossing the connection. Nine tools are declared. A Latch account is required, and the endpoint returns 401 before it will describe anything. The listing carries the partner tier.
Tool surface
Nine tools are claimed for browsing, launching and monitoring, but the endpoint gates enumeration, so the balance between data navigation and run control is the publisher's description rather than an observation.
Availability
Where LatchBio is listed
LatchBio is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. LatchBio has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
LatchBio publishes 9 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 41.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Healthcare & Life Sciences publishes 6, so this one runs 3 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 12th of 51 by tool count.
It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory.
LatchBio publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

LatchBio carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How LatchBio describes it
The Latch MCP lets you connect Latch to Claude, allowing you to browse data, start bioinformatics workflows and monitor workflow executions. Run serverless bioinformatics pipelines written in Nextflow or Python without leaving Claude.
