Install

sudo curl -fsSL https://sudo.bio/apt/sudobio.gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/sudobio.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sudobio.gpg] https://sudo.bio/apt stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sudobio.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install bio

The package carries its own interpreter and dependencies under /usr/lib/sudobio, so it cannot collide with your system Python or with whatever an instrument vendor has pinned. Nothing after this line wants sudo: a repository owned by root is a repository its owner cannot write to.

bio serve      # this interface, on your own machine
bio mcp        # the same tools, to your agent, over MCP
bio version

Repositories live in ~/.local/share/sudobio unless SUDOBIO_DATA says otherwise.

Every tool behind the box on the front page is also an MCP tool, so Claude, Cursor or anything else that speaks the protocol can design a primer, plan an assembly, write the robot code and commit the result inside whatever conversation you were already having.

Install in Cursor

Claude Code:

claude mcp add sudo.bio -- bio mcp

Claude Desktop, or any other client — add to its config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sudo.bio": {
      "command": "bio",
      "args": [
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Python 3.12, a venv, nothing else. Every dependency is pure Python with a wheel on PyPI, so there is no compiler, no conda and no container in the way.

python3.12 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[dev]'
bio serve --reload
