Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

protein

protein_3d_structures

List the experimentally solved 3D structures (Protein Data Bank entries) for a protein, best resolution first, with method (X-ray, NMR, cryo-EM), resolution in angstroms and chain coverage, plus counts by method. Answers "is there a crystal structure of X" for structural biology and drug-discovery work. Source: UniProtKB cross-references to the PDB, UniProt Consortium. Experimental structures only; AlphaFold predicted models and ligand details are not included. (cost: 1 credit)

protein_for_gene

Map a gene symbol to its expert-reviewed protein in one species: accession, entry name, protein name, synonyms, length and a short curated function summary. The standard gene-to-protein step for bioinformatics pipelines and coursework (e.g. TP53 to P04637, cellular tumour antigen p53). Source: UniProtKB, UniProt Consortium. Returns the top reviewed match only; species default to human, unreviewed (TrEMBL) entries are not considered. (cost: 1 credit)

protein_sequence

Get a protein's amino-acid sequence as plain text and FASTA, ready to paste into BLAST or an alignment tool, with length, organism, gene and evidence level. Give a UniProt accession (P04637) or an isoform (P04637-2). Source: UniProtKB, UniProt Consortium. Returns the canonical sequence UniProt displays; it does not translate DNA, list variants or return gene or mRNA sequences. (cost: 1 credit)

UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: protein_3d_structures, protein_for_gene, protein_sequence. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 75 of 75 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 199 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect UK Data: Protein data (UniProt)?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) need an API key?

No. UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is UK Data: Protein data (UniProt)?

It answers our handshake in 199 ms on average, which is faster than 73% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
