About
MCP server wrapping ESM Metagenomic Atlas (precomputed protein structures)
README
MCP server wrapping the ESM Metagenomic Atlas — Meta AI's open atlas of ~617M precomputed protein structure predictions.
Tools (Code Mode)
esmfold_search(query)— discover Atlas catalog endpointsesmfold_execute(code)— run JavaScript in a V8 isolate against the Atlas REST API viaapi.get()/api.post()over the catalog pathsesmfold_get_schema(data_access_id?)— list/describe staged tablesesmfold_query_data(data_access_id, sql)— SQL over staged Atlas data (PDB text stays as TEXT)
Atlas-only — live folding is OUT OF SCOPE
POST /foldSequence/v1/pdb/ (live structure prediction) is intentionally not routed by this server. Sequence prediction jobs take 5–60+ seconds and exceed the 30s Worker CPU budget. The catalog does not advertise it; the api-adapter returns HTTP 501 if it is requested directly.
Live folding is deferred to a future Cloudflare Workflow plan. See:
docs/plans/2026-04-16-life-science-expansion.md§13.1docs/adr/ADR-005-workflow-async-mcp-servers.md
