pyOpenMS Mass Spectrometry Workflows

Run end-to-end proteomics and metabolomics LC-MS/MS analysis with ready-made pyOpenMS CLI scripts.

Data & AnalyticsAdvanced★ 33,030⑂ 3,248AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

  • Inspects and converts MS files (mzML/mzXML/MGF/featureXML/consensusXML/idXML) and runs configurable signal-processing chains.
  • Detects features for metabolomics (MassTraceDetection → ElutionPeakDetection → FeatureFindingMetabo) and peptides (FeatureFinderAlgorithmPicked), then aligns RT, links consensus features and exports quant matrices.
  • Handles annotation: adduct grouping, HMDB accurate-mass search, GNPS FBMN / SIRIUS export, plus FDR filtering of search results.
  • Provides chemistry helpers: monoisotopic/average mass, in-silico digestion, theoretical fragment spectra, chromatogram extraction and plots.
  • Documents pyOpenMS 3.5.0 breaking API changes so legacy tutorial code doesn't silently fail.

Who it's for

  • Proteomics/metabolomics researchers and core-facility analysts.
  • Python users automating OpenMS pipelines.
  • Anyone hitting errors from outdated OpenMS examples.

Examples

  1. python scripts/inspect_ms_data.py sample.mzML --spectra-csv spectra.csv for a quick raw-file audit.
  2. Multi-sample study: align_link_quantify.py s1.mzML s2.mzML s3.mzML --out-prefix study then consensus_to_matrix.py study.consensusXML --normalize median.
  3. Peptide chemistry: mass_calculator.py --peptide "PEPTIDEM(Oxidation)K" --charges 1 2 3 --isotopes 5.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills/HEAD/skills/pyopenms/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/pyopenms folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/pyopenms/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git /tmp/sas && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/sas/skills/pyopenms ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Confirm Python 3.9+ and uv are installed (python --version, uv --version).
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git
  3. Copy the skill: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/pyopenms ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Install the library: uv pip install pyopenms (targets 3.5.0).
  5. Verify: python -c "import pyopenms as ms; print(ms.__version__)" — the one-line memory notice on import is harmless.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "analyze this mzML file" to trigger the skill. For HMDB structure annotation, supply HMDB2StructMapping.tsv yourself.
