Education & Research plugins, skills & connectors for Codex
7 education & research listings on CodexStacks: 7 plugins (4 from the official OpenAI curated catalog; 3 community). Each page shows what the listing contains and how to install it, taken from its own source. 3 community listings had no declared category, so we assigned this one from the repo's topics and description.
Order: official OpenAI curated listings first (A–Z), then community repos by GitHub stars at last sync. This is not a quality ranking.
Consensus
Consensus is the go-to MCP for academic research. Connect directly to 220M+ peer-reviewed papers to search, synthesize, and build structured research outputs from within your conversation. Run literature reviews, build boolean search strategies, generate bibliographies, identify research gaps, and draft cited content — grounded in studies from PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and ArXiv. Pre-built workflows handle complex tasks in minutes: systematic reviews, curriculum reading lists, grant research with novelty analysis, and clinical evidence synthesis. Built for researchers, students, faculty, and clinicians across biomedical, social science, STEM, and all academic disciplines.
Life Science Research
Internal life-science research workflows that help Codex interpret a user's research question, normalize the relevant entities, choose the right skills, and synthesize evidence-backed answers across public resources. The plugin spans human genetics, functional genomics, expression, pathways, protein structure, chemistry, pharmacology, literature, clinical evidence, and public study discovery, with a research-router entrypoint for broad tasks and optional subagent-assisted parallel work when evidence lanes are independent.
Life Sciences NGS Analysis
A guided intake, routing, and execution plugin for next-generation sequencing workflows. It helps Codex inspect local sequencing inputs, ask only the missing assay-specific questions, choose public or freely accessible runtime-installable packages where possible, check existing tool availability before any install, and execute supported local workflows with validation, logs, manifests, QC reports, and artifact indexes. It includes deeper decision skills for BCL demultiplexing, FASTQ QC execution and interpretation, germline, somatic and UMI-panel DNA variants, bulk RNA-seq count generation and differential expression, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq/CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag, and embedded post-count scRNA-seq QC.
Zotero
Connect Codex to your Zotero desktop library so it can find saved papers, export BibTeX, add citation keys to drafts, read indexed attachment text when you ask, and import new reference records into Zotero with your approval.
hyperresearch
Deep research skill for Codex and Claude Code. Bootstraps the hyperresearch CLI and hands off to its 16-step research pipeline with a persistent, searchable source vault.
qiongli
穷理证澈 Academic Research Skills: Plan the work, search the literature, draft and review manuscripts, run research code, and keep the evidence trail in one place.
Corbis Literature Starter Kit
Literature review and idea-screening starter kit for Codex, powered by Corbis MCP. Bundles reusable research skills for literature reviews, positioning, idea generation, citation checks, and literature landscapes.
