Protein MCP Server Overview
The protein-mcp-server MCP server federates experimental PDB and predicted AlphaFold structures with protein annotations and similarity services. It exposes seven MCP tools for searching, fetching metadata and coordinates, finding sequence or fold homologs, tracking ligands, comparing structures, analyzing PDB collections, and retrieving UniProt or InterPro annotations. Use it when an agent needs to combine structure discovery, structural comparison, ligand analysis, and functional context without separate API integrations. It supports STDIO and Streamable HTTP, with no API key required.
Primary Use Cases for Protein MCP Server:
- Search PDB and AlphaFold structures by sequence or organism
- Compare related protein structures with TM-align or jFATCAT
- Find ligands and inspect experimental binding sites
- Retrieve UniProt features and InterPro domains for a protein
