Install Protein in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y protein-mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

@cyanheads/protein-mcp-server Federated protein structure & annotation across experimental (PDB) and predicted (AlphaFold) models via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. 7 Tools • 2 Resources
Public Hosted Server: https://protein.caseyjhand.com/mcp
Overview
Experimental (PDB) and predicted (AlphaFold) protein structures, federated behind one surface. Search, fetch, align, compare, and annotate structures and their ligands across RCSB, AlphaFold DB, 3D-Beacons, UniProt, InterPro, and Foldseek — all keyless. Runs as a stdio process, a local Streamable HTTP server, or the public hosted endpoint above.
