Target Reference Server

Uniprot MCP Overview

The smaniches/uniprot-mcp MCP server exposes UniProt knowledgebase queries through 41 tools for protein entries, sequences, annotations, variants, cross-references, and related scientific records. It runs locally over stdio with uvx or pip, retrieves data from UniProt and selected linked services, and attaches release, retrieval, source URL, and SHA-256 provenance details to successful responses. An optional local cache supports replay without contacting upstream services. Reach for it when an agent needs structured protein research, evidence assembly, sequence analysis, or auditable results rather than unstructured web search.
