An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives LLM agents access to computational protein design tools. Ask your LLM to design binders, generate de novo folds, predict structures, score interfaces, or relax with Rosetta — it calls the right tool automatically.

**19 tools total**, spanning generative design, structure prediction, physics-based scoring, and analysis. Built on RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, ESMFold, AlphaFold2, **Boltz-2**, **PyRosetta**, ESM2, and OpenMM.

| Distribution | Tools out-of-the-box | Extras |
|---|---|---|
| `pip install "protein-design-mcp[gpu]"` | 13 core tools | `[rosetta]` (license required), `[boltz]` (isolated venv) |
| `docker pull jeonghyeonkim8652/protein-design-mcp` | 13 core tools (GPU), 10 (CPU) | PyRosetta / Boltz not bundled (license + torch conflict) |

The 6 non-bundled tools (`rosetta_*` x4, `predict_*_boltz` x2) install cleanly via pip extras — see [Optional Tools](#optional-tools-pyrosetta--boltz-2).

## Installation

Choose the method that fits your situation. Listed from simplest to most customizable.

### 1. Auto-Setup (Recommended)

One command. Detects your environment, pulls Docker if available, writes MCP client config.

```bash
pip install protein-design-mcp
protein-design-mcp-setup
```
