What your AI can do with Workbench
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “reverse_complement”: Reverse, complement and reverse complement of a DNA or RNA sequence.”
“Use “gc_content”: GC content, AT content and per-base composition of a sequence.”
“Use “translate”: Translate a nucleotide sequence to protein (single frame or all six frames; standard code).”
“Use “find_orfs”: Find open reading frames (ATG…stop) across all six frames.”
How secure is the Workbench MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Workbench holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Workbench (seqbench.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Workbench adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick Workbench
Choose Workbench in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Use it anywhere
Workbench's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

The actual tools Workbench exposes
Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.
reverse_complement — Reverse, complement and reverse complement of a DNA or RNA sequence.
gc_content — GC content, AT content and per-base composition of a sequence.
translate — Translate a nucleotide sequence to protein (single frame or all six frames; standard code).
find_orfs — Find open reading frames (ATG…stop) across all six frames.
format_sequence — Clean, case-fold, DNA↔RNA convert, reverse and line-wrap a sequence.
motif_finder — Find (overlapping) occurrences of an IUPAC motif on either strand, allowing mismatches.
reverse_translate — Back-translate a protein to DNA (most-frequent codon per organism, or degenerate IUPAC consensus).
random_sequence — Generate a random DNA, RNA or protein sequence, optionally with a target GC content.

The Workbench MCP server at a glance
https://seqbench.com/api/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Workbench MCP server?
Yes — Workbench operates its own remote MCP server at seqbench.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Workbench to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Workbench in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Workbench's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Workbench runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Workbench MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Workbench in minutes. No credit card required.
