Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Protein MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add protein-mcp-server -- npx -y protein-mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "protein-mcp-server": {

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Protein MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Protein MCP Server?
Protein MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package protein-mcp-server was installed 31 times last week.
How do I connect Protein MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls protein-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Protein MCP Server?
The npm package protein-mcp-server was installed 31 times in the last week. Week over week that is +10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Protein MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 5 stars on GitHub and 12 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
