A side-by-side look at the Togomcp and Interpro MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Togomcp for biology & bioinformatics work; choose Interpro for biology & bioinformatics as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
NCBI_API_KEY.search_entries, get_entry, entries_for_protein.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

search_entriesSearch InterPro for protein families, domains, repeats and functional sites by keyword (text search over entry names/accessions). InterPro is EBI's integrated protein-signature classification (Pfam, PROSITE, SMART, CDD, PANTHER, ...). Returns matching entries with accession (IPRxxxxxx), name, type…get_entryGet full details for a single InterPro entry by accession (e.g. "IPR000001"). Returns the entry name, type, a plain-text description, member-signature/protein counters, and associated GO terms (molecular function / biological process / cellular component). Use after search_entries or entries_for_pr…entries_for_proteinList all InterPro entries (families, domains, sites) found on a given UniProt protein, by UniProt accession (e.g. "P12345"). Returns each matching InterPro signature with accession, name and type. Useful to functionally annotate a protein. Complements UniProt/AlphaFold. Keyless.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
