Overview

What is MCP Servers?

MCP Servers is a monorepo collection of open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers designed for scientific research applications. They enable AI models to interact with scientific data, tools, and resources through a standardized protocol.

How to use MCP Servers?

Install uv and an MCP‑enabled client (e.g. Claude Desktop, VSCode, Goose, 5ire). Launch any server with uvx mcp-science <server-name> (e.g. uvx mcp-science web-fetch). Optionally use the mcpm tool to automate client configuration.

Key features of MCP Servers

Open-source collection built for scientific research
Standardized MCP protocol for AI–data integration
Single‑command launch via uvx mcp-science
Covers materials science, web fetch, Python execution, SSH, DFT, and more
Works with multiple MCP‑enabled clients (Claude Desktop, VSCode, Goose, 5ire)
Packaged as a Python monorepo on PyPI (mcp-science)

Use cases of MCP Servers

Search and visualise materials‑science data from the Materials Project
Fetch and summarise web content (HTML, PDF, plain text)
Execute Python code in a sandboxed environment for safe analysis
Run pre‑validated commands on remote machines over SSH
Perform density‑functional‑theory (DFT) calculations via GPAW
Interact programmatically with a running Jupyter kernel

Frequently asked questions

What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that standardises how applications provide context to LLMs, similar to a USB‑C port for AI. It allows models to integrate with various data sources and tools in a consistent way.

What are the prerequisites for using MCP Servers?

You need `uv` (a fast Python package manager) and an MCP‑enabled client such as Claude Desktop, VSCode, Goose, or 5ire.

How do I run a server?

Use the command `uvx mcp-science <server-name>` (e.g. `uvx mcp-science web-fetch`). This downloads the `mcp-science` package from PyPI and launches the server.

Can I build my own MCP server?

Yes. The repository includes a step‑by‑step guide under `docs/how-to-build-your-own-mcp-server-step-by-step.md` and an example server in `servers/example-server/`.

How can I contribute to MCP Servers?

Fork the repository, create a feature branch, make changes with clear commit messages, update documentation, add tests, and open a pull request. Follow the naming conventions described in the contributing guide.
