A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing advanced access to the UniProt protein database.
Most database access work still happens through a UI a human drives. Unofficial UniProt MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing advanced access to the UniProt protein database.
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing advanced access to the UniProt protein database. This server offers 26 specialized bioinformatics tools enabling AI assistants and MCP clients to perform sophisticated protein research, comparative genomics, structural biology analysis, and systems biology investigations directly through UniProt's REST API.
This comprehensive UniProt MCP Server is developed by Augmented Nature, a leading innovator in AI-powered bioinformatics and computational biology solutions. Augmented Nature specializes in creating advanced tools that bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and biological research, enabling researchers to unlock deeper insights from biological data.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
Gene — based Search**: Find proteins by gene name or symbolUser-Agent — UniProt-MCP-Server/1.0.0Timeout — 30 secondsPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverSetup — The Setup tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.
This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Unofficial UniProt's toolset — Gene, User-Agent, Timeout and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Augmented-Nature; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Read-only SQL access to Postgres — let your assistant inspect schemas and answer questions from real data.
Manage your whole Supabase project in conversation — database, auth, storage, Edge Functions and branches.
Query, modify and analyse local SQLite databases in conversation — the fastest way to chat with a data file.
Metabase ships its own MCP endpoint — search your BI content, build and run queries, and save questions and dashboards without leaving the chat.
Official MongoDB server covering data, schemas and Atlas management — from find queries to spinning up clusters.
Serverless Postgres with database branching — point your assistant at Neon and let it work on disposable copies.
