Query histopathology slides through Owkin's HistoPLUS agent
Overview
Owkin builds machine learning agents aimed at drug discovery and clinical trial design. This connector currently fronts one of them, HistoPLUS, which converts H&E stained slides from the TCGA collection into structured, queryable output. The described work includes quantifying distinct cell types, characterising spatial structure within a tumour microenvironment, and running cohort level survival analysis to test whether a hypothesis holds. The aim is patient stratification: turning slide images that a pathologist reads one at a time into features at cohort scale. Nine tools are declared. The endpoint requires credentials, and the listing describes histopathology as a starting point rather than the full scope.

Nine tools are published for what the listing describes as a single agent, and a 401 stops any attempt to see how they are apportioned between slide analysis and cohort queries.
Availability
Owkin is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Owkin 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
Owkin 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.
Owkin 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.
https://mcp.k.owkin.com/mcp Owkin 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
Owkin build AI agents for biology to accelerate drug discovery and de-risk clinical trials. The Owkin connector currently powers HistoPLUS, an agent that transforms H&E slides from the TCGA database into granular, queryable insights. Researchers can use it to quantify distinct cell types, analyze complex spatial tumor microenvironments, and validate hypotheses through cohort-level survival analysis. Use this connector to bridge the gap between raw biological data and actionable patient stratification, starting with histopathology.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Owkin's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Owkin, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
