Emdb Overview
Emdb MCP server connects AI agents to the EBI Electron Microscopy Data Bank for cryo-EM and electron-tomography density map research. Its tools search maps by free-text keywords and retrieve selected metadata for a specific EMDB entry. Use it when an agent needs map-level information about proteins, complexes, or viruses to complement atomic structures from PDB or predicted structures from AlphaFold. It is available through a hosted MCP endpoint, a local npm stdio bridge, or direct HTTP tool calls.
Primary Use Cases for Emdb:
- Search for cryo-EM maps related to a protein or biological process
- Retrieve resolution and method metadata for an EMDB accession
- Compare EMDB map records with atomic or predicted structure resources
- Ask plain-language questions about EMDB data through the gateway
