Python API v2 for Opentrons OT-2/Flex liquid handlers: protocols as Python files with metadata and run(); control pipettes, labware, and modules (thermocycler, heater-shaker, magnetic, temperature). Simulate via opentrons_simulate then upload. Use PyLabRobot for vendor-agnostic scripts (Hamilton, Tecan).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Opentrons Python Protocol API ## Overview The Opentrons Protocol API v2 lets you write liquid handling protocols as plain Python files that run on OT-2 or Flex robots. Every protocol defines a `metadata` dictionary, an optional `requirements` dictionary, and a `run(protocol)` function. The `ProtocolContext` object passed to `run()` exposes all deck setup, pipette operations, module control, and utility methods. Protocols can be simulated on any computer with `opentrons_simulate` before uploading to the robot through the Opentrons App or HTTP API. ## When to Use - **Setting up PCR reactions**: Distribute master mix from a tube rack into a thermocycler plate, add template DNA from individual tubes, then execute a PCR profile automatically. - **Running serial dilutions**: Programmatically step a multi-channel pipette across a 96-well plate to create 2-fold or custom dilution curves with defined diluent volumes. - **Performing ELISA plate layouts**: Add blocking buffer, primary antibody, secondary antibody, and substrate to defined wells with tip changes between each reagent. …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/opentrons-protocol-api@sha256:d4b71f9b471205eeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
