Traditional tools make you repeat yourself. Every session starts from zero: re-upload data, re-explain context, re-run preprocessing. OmicsClaw remembers.
- 🧠 Persistent Memory — Context, preferences, and analysis history survive across sessions.
- 🛠️ Extensibility (MCP & Skill Builder) — Natively integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and features
omics-skill-builderto automate custom analysis deployment. - 🌐 Multi-Provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or local LLMs — one config to switch.
- 📱 Multi-Channel — CLI as the hub; Telegram, Feishu, and more — one agent session.
- 🔄 Workflow Continuity — Resume interrupted analyses, track lineage, and avoid redundant computation.
- 🔒 Privacy-First — All processing is local; memory stores metadata only (no raw data uploads).
- 🎯 Smart Routing — Natural language routed to the appropriate analysis automatically.
- 🧬 Multi-Omics Coverage — 72 predefined skills across spatial, single-cell, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bulk RNA-seq, literature and orchestration.
What makes it different:
| Traditional Tools | OmicsClaw |
|---|---|
| Re-upload data every session | Remembers file paths & metadata |
| Forget analysis history | Tracks full lineage (preprocess → cluster → DE) |
| Repeat parameters manually | Learns & applies your preferences |
| CLI-only, steep learning curve | Chat interface + CLI |
| Stateless execution | Persistent research partner |
📖 Deep dive: See docs/MEMORY_SYSTEM.md for detailed comparison of memory vs. stateless workflows.
To prevent dependency conflicts, we strongly recommend installing OmicsClaw inside a virtual environment. You can use either the standard venv or the ultra-fast uv.
🪛 Setup Virtual Environment (Highly Recommended)
Option A: Using standard venv
# 1. Create a virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
# 2. Activate it
source .venv/bin/activateOption B: Using uv (Ultrafast)
# 1. Install uv (if you don't have it)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# 2. Create and activate virtual environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/TianGzlab/OmicsClaw.git
cd OmicsClaw
# Install core system operations
pip install -e .
# Optional: Install Interactive TUI & Bot capabilities
# Includes prompt-toolkit/Textual plus the LLM client stack used by interactive mode
pip install -e ".[tui]"
pip install -r bot/requirements.txt # If you want messaging channelsAdvanced installation tiers:
pip install -e .— Core system operationspip install -e ".[<domain>]"— Where<domain>isspatial,singlecell,genomics,proteomics,metabolomics, orbulkrnapip install -e ".[spatial-domains]"— Standalone Deep Learning Layer forSpaGCNandSTAGATEpip install -e ".[full]"— All domain extras and optional method backends across all domains
Check your installation status anytime with python omicsclaw.py env.
The Easiest Way (Interactive Setup): OmicsClaw provides a built-in interactive wizard that walks through LLM setup, shared runtime settings, graph memory options, and messaging channel credentials in one flow.
omicsclaw onboard # or use short alias: oc onboardThe wizard writes the project-root .env used by CLI, TUI, routing, and bot entrypoints.
Option B: Manual Configuration (.env)
OmicsClaw supports switching between multiple LLM engines with a single config change. It automatically loads the project-root .env file for CLI, TUI, routing, and bot entrypoints. If python-dotenv is not installed, it falls back to a built-in .env parser, so standard key/value configuration still works in lean installs.
For hosted providers, you can configure either:
LLM_API_KEY- a provider-specific key such as
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY,OPENAI_API_KEY, orANTHROPIC_API_KEY
1. DeepSeek (Default):
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx2. Anthropic (Claude):
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Automatically detects the key and defaults to claude-3-5-sonnet3. OpenAI (GPT-4o):
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx4. Local LLM (Ollama): If you have strict data compliance requirements, you can run models entirely locally via Ollama. No API key is needed:
LLM_PROVIDER=ollama
OMICSCLAW_MODEL=qwen2.5:7b # Replace with your pulled model
LLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v15. Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint:
LLM_PROVIDER=custom
LLM_BASE_URL=https://your-endpoint.example.com/v1
OMICSCLAW_MODEL=your-model-name
LLM_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx6. OAuth via ccproxy (Claude Pro/Max or OpenAI Codex):
LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
LLM_AUTH_MODE=oauth
CCPROXY_PORT=11435Complete login once with python omicsclaw.py auth login claude (or openai).
Keep CCPROXY_PORT different from the app backend port 8765.
📖 Full Provider List: See
.env.examplefor instructions on configuring other engines like NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, DashScope, and custom endpoints.📖 Bot / channel config: See bot/README.md and bot/CHANNELS_SETUP.md for messaging channel credentials, allowlists, and runtime controls.
Provider/model normalization: if a restart finds a stale cross-provider combination such as
LLM_PROVIDER=anthropicwithOMICSCLAW_MODEL=deepseek-chat, OmicsClaw keeps the selected provider as the routing authority and resets the model to that provider's default unless you explicitly configured a custom*_BASE_URL/LLM_BASE_URL.
# Start the Interactive Terminal Chat

OmicsClaw's memory system transforms it from a stateless tool into a persistent research partner. The newly Memory Explorer provides a comprehensive frontend interface to intuitively visualize, search, and manage your entire research history and data lineage.
The Memory Explorer: A unified dashboard for auditing analyses, tracking datasets, and managing user preferences.
Accessing the Memory Explorer:
# Terminal 1: Start the backend API
oc memory-server
# Terminal 2: Start the frontend dashboard
cd frontend && npm install && npm run devThe memory API now binds to 127.0.0.1:8766 by default. If you need to expose it beyond localhost, set both OMICSCLAW_MEMORY_HOST and OMICSCLAW_MEMORY_API_TOKEN.
Desktop / web frontend backend:
pip install -e ".[desktop]"
oc app-server --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765The app backend binds to 127.0.0.1:8765 by default and provides the HTTP/SSE contract used by OmicsClaw-App. The desktop extra now includes the notebook runtime, so the same oc app-server process also exposes the native /notebook/* routes used by the embedded notebook UI.
If omicsclaw_kg is installed or available from a source checkout via OMICSCLAW_KG_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/OmicsClaw-KG, the same oc app-server process also mounts the embedded /kg/* routes used by the KG Explorer. The frontend dev server now proxies /kg to the app backend by default instead of a separate omicsclaw-kg http serve process.
What it remembers:
- 📁 Datasets — File paths, platforms (Visium/Xenium), dimensions, preprocessing state
- 📊 Analyses — Methods used, parameters, execution time, lineage (parent → child)
- ⚙️ Preferences — Your preferred clustering methods, plot styles, species defaults
- 🧬 Insights — Biological annotations (cluster = "T cells", domain = "tumor boundary")
- 🔬 Project context — Species, tissue type, disease model, research goals
📖 Full comparison: docs/MEMORY_SYSTEM.md — Detailed scenarios, privacy model, technical architecture
OmicsClaw is designed to be highly interoperable and extensible for advanced bioinformatics agentic workflows:
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): Safely plug any standard MCP server directly into OmicsClaw. This allows you to give the assistant instant access to external APIs, academic databases, custom execution environments, or enterprise data warehouses on the fly. Manage MCP servers via the in-session
/mcpcommand. omics-skill-builder: Found withinskills/orchestrator/, this is a built-in capabilities multiplier. Instead of writing boilerplate code,omics-skill-builderautomates the generation of reusable OmicsClaw skill scaffolds (including Python wrappers, SKILL.md definition files, and registries) directly from your conversational intent or Python snippets.
