## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-30 (score 84, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

### 2026-09-28 (score 83, +44)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-27 (score 39, 0)

- [functional] Package version: 0.1.0 → 0.1.2

### 2026-09-26 (score 39, −32)

- [security regression] Tool safety: pass → unverified
- [security] Stability: Stability not yet verified: we do not have a sandbox capture of the MCP schema this version of the package serves yet.
- [functional regression] Capabilities: pass → unverified

### 2026-09-25 (score 71)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (11)

### `get_connection_info` (~40 tokens)

Get Connection Info

Report which instrument is connected (identity, address, simulated or real),
whether the server is read-only, and the active safety limits. Call this first.

### `get_command_log` (~46 tokens)

Get Command Log

Return the most recent raw commands sent to / replies received from the
instrument (newest last). Useful for debugging and for recording what was done.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `reconnect` (~35 tokens)

Reconnect

Close and re-open the connection to the instrument (e.g. after it was power
cycled or a cable was re-plugged).

### `get_status` (~46 tokens)

Get Status

Report what the pump is doing (infusing/withdrawing/stopped/paused, alarms), the syringe
diameter, rate, target volume, direction and the accumulated dispensed volumes.

Output parameters:

- `alarm`: Alarm the pump reported (now acknowledged), if any
- `diameter_mm` (number): Syringe inside diameter setting
- `direction`: INF (infuse), WDR (withdraw) or STK (sticky)
- `dispensed` (object)
- `rate_ml_min`: Rate setting (or actual rate while pumping)
- `rate_setting`: Rate as stored on the pump, e.g. '250.0 µL/min'
- `running` (boolean)
- `state` (string): infusing, withdrawing, stopped, paused, purging, ... or alarm
- `target_volume_ml`: 'Volume to be dispensed' of phase 1 (0 = continuous)
- `timestamp` (string)

### `list_syringe_presets` (~98 tokens)

List Syringe Presets

List the syringe inside diameters from the New Era manual's reference table (BD, Monoject,
Terumo, HSW Norm-Ject, Poulten & Graf glass, stainless steel, SGE, Hamilton), with the NE-1000
rate range each allows. Use a name with `set_syringe`.

Input parameters:

- `contains` (string): Only list presets whose name contains this text, e.g. 'BD'

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `set_syringe` (~110 tokens)

Set Syringe

Set the syringe inside diameter, either from a preset or a measured value. The pump must be
stopped. Changing the diameter also resets the dispensed-volume accumulators and may switch the
pump's volume units (µL below 14.0 mm, mL above).

Input parameters:

- `diameter_mm`: Syringe inside diameter in mm (overrides preset)
- `preset`: Syringe preset name from `list_syringe_presets`, e.g. 'BD 10 mL'

Output parameters:

- `alarm`: Alarm the pump reported (now acknowledged), if any
- `diameter_mm` (number): Syringe inside diameter setting
- `direction`: INF (infuse), WDR (withdraw) or STK (sticky)
- `dispensed` (object)
- `rate_ml_min`: Rate setting (or actual rate while pumping)
- `rate_setting`: Rate as stored on the pump, e.g. '250.0 µL/min'
- `running` (boolean)
- `state` (string): infusing, withdrawing, stopped, paused, purging, ... or alarm
- `target_volume_ml`: 'Volume to be dispensed' of phase 1 (0 = continuous)
- `timestamp` (string)

### `infuse` (~105 tokens)

Infuse

Push `volume_ml` out of the syringe at `rate_ml_min`, then stop. Returns as soon as pumping
has started, with the estimated duration. Requires the correct syringe diameter (`set_syringe`)
and a stopped pump. Overwrites phases 1-2 of the pump's stored Pumping Program.

Input parameters:

- `rate_ml_min` (number, required): Infusion rate, in mL/min
- `volume_ml` (number, required): Volume to infuse, in mL

Output parameters:

- `diameter_mm` (number)
- `direction` (string)
- `estimated_duration_s` (number)
- `note` (string)
- `pump_commands` (string): Rate and volume exactly as sent, e.g. 'RAT 1.500MM, VOL 0.500ML'
- `rate_ml_min` (number): Rate programmed on the pump (after rounding)
- `state` (string)
- `timestamp` (string)
- `volume_ml` (number): Volume programmed on the pump (after rounding to its 4-digit format)

### `withdraw` (~91 tokens)

Withdraw

Pull `volume_ml` into the syringe at `rate_ml_min`, then stop. Returns as soon as pumping has
started. Make sure the syringe has room for the volume. Overwrites phases 1-2 of the pump's
stored Pumping Program.

Input parameters:

- `rate_ml_min` (number, required): Withdrawal rate, in mL/min
- `volume_ml` (number, required): Volume to withdraw, in mL

Output parameters:

- `diameter_mm` (number)
- `direction` (string)
- `estimated_duration_s` (number)
- `note` (string)
- `pump_commands` (string): Rate and volume exactly as sent, e.g. 'RAT 1.500MM, VOL 0.500ML'
- `rate_ml_min` (number): Rate programmed on the pump (after rounding)
- `state` (string)
- `timestamp` (string)
- `volume_ml` (number): Volume programmed on the pump (after rounding to its 4-digit format)

### `get_dispensed_volume` (~22 tokens)

Get Dispensed Volume

Return the accumulated infused and withdrawn volumes (pump command DIS).

Output parameters:

- `infused_ml` (number): Volume infused since the accumulator was last cleared
- `pump_units` (string): Units the pump itself uses for volumes: 'UL' or 'ML'
- `timestamp` (string)
- `withdrawn_ml` (number): Volume withdrawn since the accumulator was last cleared

### `clear_dispensed_volume` (~26 tokens)

Clear Dispensed Volume

Reset the infused and withdrawn volume accumulators to zero. Only possible while stopped.

Output parameters:

- `infused_ml` (number): Volume infused since the accumulator was last cleared
- `pump_units` (string): Units the pump itself uses for volumes: 'UL' or 'ML'
- `timestamp` (string)
- `withdrawn_ml` (number): Volume withdrawn since the accumulator was last cleared

### `stop_pump` (~28 tokens)

Stop Pump

Stop the pump immediately (STP). A paused program is also cancelled so it cannot resume.

Output parameters:

- `alarm`: Alarm the pump reported (now acknowledged), if any
- `diameter_mm` (number): Syringe inside diameter setting
- `direction`: INF (infuse), WDR (withdraw) or STK (sticky)
- `dispensed` (object)
- `rate_ml_min`: Rate setting (or actual rate while pumping)
- `rate_setting`: Rate as stored on the pump, e.g. '250.0 µL/min'
- `running` (boolean)
- `state` (string): infusing, withdrawing, stopped, paused, purging, ... or alarm
- `target_volume_ml`: 'Volume to be dispensed' of phase 1 (0 = continuous)
- `timestamp` (string)

## Common questions

### What is the New Era Syringe Pump MCP server?

New Era Syringe Pump is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.K-Dense-AI/labmcp-new-era. MCP server for New Era Pump Systems syringe pumps (NE-1000 family, RS-232). This page covers its PyPI package (labmcp-new-era).

### Is the New Era Syringe Pump MCP server safe to use?

New Era Syringe Pump scores 84 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 30 September 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the New Era Syringe Pump MCP server expose?

New Era Syringe Pump exposes 11 tools: get_connection_info, get_command_log, reconnect, get_status, list_syringe_presets, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 647 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the New Era Syringe Pump MCP server still maintained?

New Era Syringe Pump is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 30 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the New Era Syringe Pump MCP server under?

New Era Syringe Pump declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
