📌Overview

Purpose: Molecule-MCP aims to facilitate integration between molecular science tools and Claude AI, enhancing molecule modeling through collaborative efforts.

Overview: Molecule-MCP serves as a model-context-protocol server that connects various molecular science tools to Claude AI, enabling direct interaction and control of these tools. This collaborative framework allows Claude to act as a co-scientist in the molecular modeling process, promoting efficient and informed decision-making in scientific research.

Key Features:

  • Integration with Claude AI: Directly connects molecular science tools like PyMOL and ChimeraX to Claude AI, enhancing the modeling experience and allowing AI-assisted workflows.

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP): Utilizes MCP to enable seamless communication between Claude and the connected tools, streamlining operations and improving overall efficiency in molecular modeling tasks.


Molecule-MCP

Molecule-MCP: A model-context-protocol server for molecules.

Molecule-MCP connects molecular science-related tools to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to directly interact with and control these tools, acting as a co-scientist. This integration enables prompt-assisted molecule modeling.

Installation

⚠️ Note: Molecule-MCP requires Claude Desktop to be installed and running.

  1. Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json to include the following:

    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "pymol": {
          "command": "/path/to/mcp",
          "args": [
            "run",
            "/path/to/molecule-mcp/pymol_server.py"
          ]
        },
        "chimerax": {
          "command": "/path/to/mcp",
          "args": [
            "run",
            "/path/to/molecule-mcp/chimerax_server.py"
          ]
        }
      }
    }
    
  2. Install mcp and get the script:

    pip install mcp chatmol
    which mcp
    

    Replace /path/to/mcp with the displayed path.

  3. Clone the repository and navigate to the directory:

    git clone https://github.com/ChatMol/molecule-mcp.git
    cd molecule-mcp
    pwd
    

    Replace /path/to/molecule-mcp with the displayed path.
