Agent operating guidance and a Claude Code plugin for controlling a running ScopeOne microscopy application through its bundled MCP server.
This repository does not contain ScopeOne itself. Install ScopeOne first and
locate ScopeOneMcpServer.exe beside ScopeOne.exe. On Linux, use the
corresponding executable without the .exe suffix.
Add this repository as a plugin marketplace and install the ScopeOne plugin:
/plugin marketplace add Experimental-Microscopy-Lab/ScopeOne-Skill
/plugin install scopeone@scopeone
/reload-plugins
When prompted, select the ScopeOneMcpServer executable from the ScopeOne
installation. Start ScopeOne before asking Claude to inspect or control it. The
plugin supplies both the MCP configuration and the ScopeOne operating Skill.
Ask Codex to install the Skill directly from GitHub:
Install the ScopeOne Skill from
https://github.com/Experimental-Microscopy-Lab/ScopeOne-Skill/tree/main/skills/scopeone
Codex installs it through its built-in Skill Installer. The Skill becomes
available on the next turn. Then ask Codex to use the ScopeOne Skill to connect
to the running application. The Skill explains how to locate and register
ScopeOneMcpServer before controlling ScopeOne.
For an offline installation, copy or link skills/scopeone
to $CODEX_HOME/skills/scopeone, or to ~/.codex/skills/scopeone when
CODEX_HOME is unset.

ScopeOne remains the authority for operation schemas, validation, safety classifications, and hardware read-back. Review physical, destructive, and file-writing operations before allowing an agent to execute them.
