AlphaFold Sovereign MCP

CI License: Apache 2.0 Python 3.10+ MCP Spec 2025-06-18 Tests Coverage

v1.1.7. Engineering-grade (677 tests, 100% line and branch coverage, full legal kit). Scientifically unvalidated by independent domain experts. See Status and Limitations.

A Model Context Protocol server that wraps AlphaFold DB and 13 other public biomedical data sources behind a set of MCP tool calls, and persists each result to a local SQLite knowledge graph for later querying.

What it does

  • Wraps AlphaFold DB, UniProt, MONDO, HPO, Open Targets, ClinVar, gnomAD, DisGeNET, ChEMBL, Ensembl, InterPro, RCSB PDB, Gene Ontology, and Human Protein Atlas behind MCP tool calls.
  • Composes upstreams into multi-source workflows — variant triage reports, disease–target landscape summaries, drug-repurposing candidates, cross-species structural divergence.
  • Persists every result to a local SQLite knowledge graph; the knowledge-graph tools then traverse the accumulated state.

See Tool reference for the full inventory.

What it is not

  • It is not a hosted service.
  • It is not certified for any regulated use.
  • The ACMG/AMP criteria emitted by the variant tools are a draft surface of upstream evidence — not a clinical interpretation.
  • The druggability tier returned by the target-assessment tool is a heuristic — not a validated prediction.

See Limitations for the itemised gap list.
