Protein Data Bank

Integrates with the Protein Data Bank (PDB) to provide search, retrieval, and analysis capabilities for protein structures, coordinates, quality metrics, and validation data for structural biology research.

This MCP server provides AI assistants with access to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) for structural biology research, built by Augmented Nature using TypeScript and the Model Context Protocol SDK. The implementation offers comprehensive tools for searching protein structures by keyword or UniProt ID, retrieving detailed structure information and coordinates in multiple formats (PDB, mmCIF, XML), downloading structure files with biological assembly support, and accessing structure quality metrics including validation data and refinement statistics. Built with dual API integration using both RCSB PDB's REST API and search services, it supports advanced filtering by experimental method and resolution range, making it valuable for structural biologists analyzing protein structures, researchers conducting comparative structural studies, and AI applications requiring programmatic access to crystallographic data and molecular structure information.
