Origin Pro MCP Skill / Origin Pro MCP 技能

English

Use this skill when the user wants to create, edit, style, fit, or export Origin Pro worksheets and figures through the origin-pro MCP server.

Scope

• Create and manage Origin projects.
• Create worksheets, write JSON column arrays, read worksheet data, and import numeric CSV files.
• Create scatter, line, line+symbol, bar, histogram, box, contour, pie, bubble, and selected 3D graph types.
• Apply publication-style formatting with one tool call.
• Run linear and nonlinear curve fitting.
• Execute LabTalk for advanced Origin operations.
• Export verified image files from Origin graph pages.

Prerequisites

• Windows with Origin Pro 2020 or newer.
• Windows Python 3.10 or newer.
• Package installed with python -m pip install -e ..
• MCP server configured as origin-pro.
• Origin Pro started before COM-dependent operations.

OpenClaw Setup

Install the package from the checked-out skill folder:

powershell

python -m pip install -e .

Register the MCP server with OpenClaw:

powershell

openclaw mcp set origin-pro '{"command":"origin-pro-mcp"}'
openclaw mcp show origin-pro

If the console command is not on PATH, register the local server file instead:

powershell

openclaw mcp set origin-pro '{"command":"python","args":["-u","PATH_TO_REPO/server.py"]}'

Run the fast package check without Origin:

powershell

python -m pytest -q

Run real Origin COM integration tests only when Origin Pro is installed, started, and disposable test projects are acceptable:

powershell

$env:ORIGIN_MCP_RUN_ORIGIN="1"; python -m pytest -q

Default Workflow

1. Confirm Origin Pro is running.
2. Use new_project only when it is acceptable to clear the current Origin session.
3. Load data with create_worksheet + set_worksheet_data or import_csv_to_worksheet.
4. Use create_graph and add_plot_to_graph.
5. Use apply_publication_style for journal-ready formatting.
6. Use curve_fit when fitting is requested.
7. Use export_graph or export_all_graphs, then verify the returned file path and size.

Tool List

Project:

• new_project
• save_project
• load_project

Worksheet and data:

• create_worksheet
• set_worksheet_data
• get_worksheet_data
• import_csv_to_worksheet
• list_worksheets

Graphing:

• create_graph
• add_plot_to_graph
• set_axis_labels
• set_axis_range
• export_graph
• export_all_graphs

Styling:

• apply_publication_style
• set_plot_style
• set_graph_font
• set_legend
• set_tick_style

Analysis:

• curve_fit
• list_fitting_functions

Advanced:

• run_labtalk
• get_labtalk_variable

Safety Rules

• Do not include local API keys, token files, Zotero settings, or workspace-specific MCP config in shared outputs.
• Ask before calling new_project if the user may have unsaved Origin work.
• Treat a successful export as valid only when the tool reports a generated file with non-trivial size.
• If a tool hangs, check whether Origin is showing a modal dialog.

中文

当用户希望通过 origin-pro MCP server 创建、编辑、排版、拟合或导出 Origin Pro 工作表和图像时，使用本技能。

能力范围

• 创建和管理 Origin 项目。
• 创建工作表、写入 JSON 列数组、读取工作表数据、导入数值型 CSV 文件。
• 创建 scatter、line、line+symbol、bar、histogram、box、contour、pie、bubble 和部分 3D 图。
• 一键应用论文图样式。
• 执行线性和非线性曲线拟合。
• 通过 LabTalk 执行高级 Origin 操作。
• 从 Origin 图页导出经过文件校验的图片。

前置条件

• Windows，安装 Origin Pro 2020 或更高版本。
• Windows Python 3.10 或更高版本。
• 已执行 python -m pip install -e .。
• MCP server 已配置为 origin-pro。
• 依赖 COM 的操作前请先启动 Origin Pro。

默认流程

1. 确认 Origin Pro 正在运行。
2. 只有在可以清空当前 Origin 会话时才调用 new_project。
3. 使用 create_worksheet + set_worksheet_data 或 import_csv_to_worksheet 加载数据。
4. 使用 create_graph 和 add_plot_to_graph 绘图。
5. 使用 apply_publication_style 完成论文图样式。
6. 需要拟合时调用 curve_fit。
7. 使用 export_graph 或 export_all_graphs 导出，并检查返回的路径和文件大小。

工具清单

项目管理：

• new_project
• save_project
• load_project

数据与工作表：

• create_worksheet
• set_worksheet_data
• get_worksheet_data
• import_csv_to_worksheet
• list_worksheets

绘图：

• create_graph
• add_plot_to_graph
• set_axis_labels
• set_axis_range
• export_graph
• export_all_graphs

样式：

• apply_publication_style
• set_plot_style
• set_graph_font
• set_legend
• set_tick_style

分析：

• curve_fit
• list_fitting_functions

高级：

• get_labtalk_variable

安全规则

• 不要在共享输出中包含本地 API key、token 文件、Zotero 设置或工作区专用 MCP 配置。
• 如果用户可能有未保存的 Origin 工作，调用 new_project 前先确认。
• 只有当导出工具报告生成了非空文件时，才视为导出成功。
• 如果工具卡住，先检查 Origin 是否弹出了模态对话框。
