What is UniProt MCP Server?
The UniProt MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as an interface to the UniProt protein database. It allows AI models, specifically Claude, to query UniProt for protein information such as function descriptions, sequences, and organism details.
How to use UniProt MCP Server?
To use the server, first clone the repository and install the dependencies. Then, configure the server in your Claude Desktop config file by adding the server details under the mcpServers section. After configuration, you can query Claude with natural language questions referencing UniProt accession numbers.

FAQ from UniProt MCP Server
What is a UniProt accession number?
What is a UniProt accession number?
A UniProt accession number is a unique identifier for a protein entry in the UniProt database.
How often is the protein information updated?
How often is the protein information updated?
The server caches protein information with a 24-hour TTL, so updates from UniProt will be reflected after the cache expires.
What error handling is implemented?
What error handling is implemented?
The server handles invalid accession numbers, API connection issues, rate limiting, and malformed responses.
