What is Unofficial UniProt MCP Server?

An MCP server that provides 26 specialized bioinformatics tools for accessing the UniProt protein database via its REST API, enabling AI assistants and MCP clients to perform protein research, comparative genomics, structural biology, and systems biology analyses.

How to use Unofficial UniProt MCP Server?

Install Node.js v16+, clone the repository, run npm install and npm build, then start with npm start or add the server to an MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) using the JSON configuration provided. Docker deployment is also supported: build the image with docker build -t uniprot-mcp-server and run with docker run -i uniprot-mcp-server.

Key features of Unofficial UniProt MCP Server

Core protein search, info, gene-based search, sequence retrieval, and feature analysis
Comparative and evolutionary analysis (homologs, orthologs, phylogenetic data)
Structure and function analysis (3D PDB, domains, variants, sequence composition)
Biological context tools (pathways, interactions, GO terms, subcellular localization)
Batch processing and advanced search with multiple filters
Literature and cross-reference retrieval (external DB links, publications)
Data export in GFF, GenBank, EMBL, XML formats and URI resource templates

Use cases of Unofficial UniProt MCP Server

Search UniProt for proteins by name, keyword, or organism (e.g., human insulin)
Retrieve comprehensive information for a specific protein by accession number
Find proteins associated with a gene name (e.g., BRCA1) filtered by organism
Obtain amino acid sequences in FASTA or JSON format
Analyze functional domains, active sites, and other features of a protein

FAQ from Unofficial UniProt MCP Server

What are the prerequisites for installation?
