MCP that connects to wetlab protocol resources, including protocols.io

## Getting started

Please refer to the [documentation][],
in particular, the [API documentation][].

You can also find the project on [BioContextAI](https://biocontext.ai), the community-hub for biomedical MCP servers: [protocol-mcp on BioContextAI](https://biocontext.ai/registry/biocontext-ai/protocol-mcp).

## Installation

You need to have Python 3.10 or newer installed on your system.
If you don't have Python installed, we recommend installing [uv][].

There are several alternative options to install protocol-mcp:

### 1. Use `uvx` to run it immediately
After publication to PyPI:
```bash
uvx protocol_mcp
```

Or from a Git repository:

```bash
uvx git+https://github.com/biocontext-ai/protocol-mcp.git@main
```

### 2. Include it in one of various clients that supports the `mcp.json` standard

If your MCP server is published to PyPI, use the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "protocol-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["protocol_mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```
In case the MCP server is not yet published to PyPI, use this configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "protocol-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["git+https://github.com/biocontext-ai/protocol-mcp.git@main"]
    }
  }
}
```

For purely local development (e.g., in Cursor or VS Code), use the following configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "protocol-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
