Install, set up, verify, update, pin, uninstall, or troubleshoot the ToolUniverse plugin on Google Antigravity (AGY / Antigravity IDE / Antigravity 2.0). ALWAYS consult this skill for any of those — don't answer from memory, because the exact CLI name (agy), the "agy plugin install <path>" flow, the uvx tooluniverse MCP server, and the API-key env vars are easy to get wrong. Use it whenever someone wants to get ToolUniverse (or "the 1000+ scientific tools" / "the harvard tools") working on Antigravity, says the Antigravity plugin or its tools/skills won't load, hits a uvx or MCP-server startup error, asks how Antigravity updates it, wants to pin or remove it, or finds it running an old tool version. Not for the Codex plugin (use tooluniverse-codex-plugin) or Claude Code plugin (use tooluniverse-claude-code-plugin), for running research with the tools, or for authoring new tools or skills.

One-step install on Google Antigravity (AGY / Antigravity IDE / Antigravity 2.0): an MCP server exposing 1000+ scientific tools plus 120+ research skills — all auto-configured.
uv --version # provides `uvx`; if missing: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
agy --version # Antigravity CLI; if missing: https://antigravity.googleIn Antigravity, plugins can be installed using the agy CLI:
# If installed via Claude Code / Codex marketplace cache or cloned repo:
agy plugin install /path/to/ToolUniverse/plugingit clone https://github.com/mims-harvard/ToolUniverse.git
cd ToolUniverse
agy plugin install ./pluginRestart Antigravity. The MCP server auto-starts via uvx tooluniverse on first use (~30 s cold start while the package downloads, instant after).

What are the top mutated genes in breast cancer?
Research the drug metformin.The research skills auto-activate on matching questions, and the MCP tools are discovered and run via find_tools → execute_tool — no command prefix needed.
| Component | What it does | How it's used |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server | 1000+ tools via find_tools, get_tool_info, execute_tool | Auto-loaded; no action needed |
| 120+ skills | Structured research workflows (drug discovery, variant interpretation, pharmacovigilance, phylogenetics, statistical modeling, etc.) | Auto-activate on matching questions |
| Research agent | Autonomous multi-database research subagent | Auto-routed on complex research tasks |
Most tools work without keys. For higher rate limits or gated databases, set the keys you care about in ~/.gemini/config/plugins/tooluniverse/mcp_config.json or pass them in environment variables:
export NCBI_API_KEY="your_key"
export ONCOKB_API_TOKEN="your_token"
export SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY="your_key"uv cache clean tooluniverseRestart Antigravity.
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
uvx: command not found | Install uv (see Prerequisites), reopen terminal. |
| MCP server won't start | Run uv cache clean tooluniverse or uvx --refresh tooluniverse --help in terminal. |
| Plugin installs but tools missing | Restart Antigravity CLI/IDE. First launch downloads the package (~30 s). |
requires-python >= 3.10 | uv python install 3.12 |
