Target Reference Server
Interpro Overview
The Interpro MCP server connects AI agents to EBI’s InterPro classification data for protein families, domains, repeats, and functional sites. It provides tools to search entries by keyword, retrieve details for an InterPro accession, and list entries associated with a UniProt protein. Use it for protein annotation, entry lookup, and interpreting associated descriptions or GO terms. The server is available through a hosted MCP endpoint or as a local stdio package, and does not require API keys.
Primary Use Cases for Interpro:
- Search InterPro entries by protein-related keywords
- Retrieve descriptions and GO terms for an InterPro accession
- Annotate a UniProt protein with InterPro families and domains
- Inspect the member databases behind a classification entry
