ToolUniverse

ToolUniverse is an open collection of more than 1,000 scientific tools and skills that lets AI assistants query live scientific databases instead of relying on training data. It covers areas such as drug discovery, genomics and proteomics, and it works with agents built on any large language model. Researchers use it so that a question such as which proteins interact with TP53 is answered by calling real sources like PubMed, UniProt and ChEMBL through standardized tools, rather than by manual searching across many sites or custom parsing code for each one. The project describes itself as an open science, academic research project. It installs as a Python package with pip, and the site provides setup guides for Claude Code, Claude Science, Codex, Cursor and Gemini, including a Claude Code plugin and a Codex plugin. A related site called ClawInstitute shows AI scientists working on each other's research. The site does not publish pricing, and its pricing path returns a page not found message, so no paid plans or fees are listed. Installation is a standard pip install of the tooluniverse package.
