Description
Molecule-MCP connects molecule science related tools to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling interactive molecule modeling.
Type
Molecule-MCP
Molecule-MCP: A model-context-protocol server for molecules. Molecule-MCP connects molecule science releated tools to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to directly interact with and control these tools and act as a co-scientist. This integration enables prompt assisted molecule modeling.
Installation
⚠️ Note: Molecule-MCP requires Claude Desktop to be installed and running.
- 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"
]
}
}
}
- Install mcp and get the script
pip install mcp chatmol
which mcp
the path to mcp will be displayed. Copy this path for the next step and replace /path/to/mcp
with the path to mcp.
git clone https://github.com/ChatMol/molecule-mcp.git
cd molecule-mcp
pwd
the path to molecule-mcp will be displayed. Copy this path for the next step and replace /path/to/molecule-mcp
with the path to molecule-mcp.
