Transport: Streamable HTTP
Runtime: Web executable
Trust: Verified

Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to reliness.co.uk, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server giving assistants UniProt protein data: gene-to-protein mapping, amino-acid sequences and PDB 3D structures.

What you can do: Map a gene symbol in one species to its reviewed protein, with accession, entry name, synonyms, length and a curated function summary
Fetch a protein's amino-acid sequence as plain text and FASTA, by accession or isoform, with length, organism, gene and evidence level
List experimentally solved 3D structures for a protein, best resolution first, with method, resolution and chain coverage plus counts by method
When to use it: Useful for bioinformatics pipelines, coursework and structural biology or drug-discovery questions where an assistant needs to resolve a gene to a protein, pull a sequence for BLAST or alignment, or check whether a crystal structure exists.
Requirements: A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install or package. An optional Authorization header with a bearer key raises the free daily allowance; a free key is obtained from the provider's key endpoint.

Before you install

The Authorization header carries a secret key; keep it private and send it only to the provider's endpoint. Queries and gene or protein identifiers are sent to a third-party service, and results are limited by a free daily allowance unless a key is supplied.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open UK Data: Protein data (UniProt) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/uk.co.reliness%2Flife-sciences/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Tools

protein_for_gene

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)

Parameterssymbolorganism

protein_sequence

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)

Parametersaccession

protein_3d_structures

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)

Score

83% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
