README
🧬 BioLab MCP Server
The Stripe for Scientific Data — Unified MCP server providing AI-agent-ready access to AlphaFold, PubMed, ChEMBL, Ensembl, and 37+ scientific databases.
What is BioLab MCP?
BioLab MCP is a premium Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) direct access to the world's leading scientific databases through a single, reliable interface.
Problem: Researchers and AI developers need data from 10+ incompatible APIs with different auth methods, rate limits, and response formats.
Solution: One MCP server. One API key. All databases. Validated, structured responses.
🚀 Quick Start
1. Install
git clone https://github.com/your-org/biolab-mcp-server
cd biolab-mcp-server
uv sync
2. Configure Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"biolab": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/biolab-mcp-server", "biolab-server"]
}
}
}
3. Ask Claude
"Search AlphaFold for TP53 protein structure and confidence scores"
"Find the top 10 papers on CRISPR cancer therapy from 2023-2024"
"What drugs target EGFR? Show me IC50 values from ChEMBL"
"Are there any Phase 3 trials recruiting for lung cancer with pembrolizumab?"
