About EBI InterPro MCP Server
Connect to the InterPro API and access the world's most comprehensive resource for protein family, domain, and functional site classification.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use EBI InterPro tools. Connect 16 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Domain Classification — Retrieve detailed InterPro entry information including family/domain descriptions, GO terms, and member database cross-references
- Multi-Database Access — Query entries from Pfam, CDD, SMART, Prosite, PANTHER, Gene3D, HAMAP, and more through a unified interface
- Protein Annotation — Find all InterPro domains, families, and sites annotated on any UniProt protein
- Structure Mapping — Discover PDB structures containing proteins that match specific InterPro entries
- Taxonomic Distribution — Explore which organisms contain proteins matching a domain or family — essential for evolutionary biology
- Proteome Coverage — Assess domain annotation coverage for complete proteomes
- Clan Analysis — Navigate Pfam clan hierarchies to understand super-family relationships
The EBI InterPro MCP Server exposes 16 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
All 16 EBI InterPro tools available for AutoGen
When AutoGen connects to EBI InterPro through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning interpro, pfam, protein-domains, and more. Every call runs in a secure, isolated environment with full audit visibility. Beyond a simple connection, you get real-time monitoring of agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.
Get cdd entry on EBI InterPro
CDD provides curated models for protein domain families and includes additional alignment and structure data. Use accessions like cd00001. Get CDD (Conserved Domain Database) entry details
Get clan on EBI InterPro
Returns clan accession, name, description, and member counts. Use Pfam clan accessions like CL0001. Get Pfam clan (super-family grouping) details
Get entry on EBI InterPro
Returns name, type (family, domain, homologous superfamily, repeat, site), description, Gene Ontology terms, member database cross-references, and literature count. Use accessions like IPR000001, IPR036291. Get InterPro entry metadata for a family or domain
Get entry proteins on EBI InterPro
Returns protein accessions, names, lengths, and source organisms. Useful for finding all members of a protein family across the UniProt database. Get all proteins matching an InterPro entry
Get entry structures on EBI InterPro
Returns PDB IDs, names, experiment types, and resolutions. Useful for finding structural representatives of a protein family or domain. Get all PDB structures matching an InterPro entry
Get entry taxonomy on EBI InterPro
Returns taxonomy nodes with names, ranks, and protein counts. This answers the evolutionary biology question "which organisms have this domain/family?" and is essential for understanding protein evolution and conservation. Get taxonomic distribution of an InterPro entry
Get pfam entry on EBI InterPro
Pfam is the most widely used protein domain database. Use accessions like PF00069 (kinase domain), PF00076 (RRM domain). Get Pfam domain or family details
Get protein on EBI InterPro
Returns the protein name, length, source organism, evidence level, fragment status, and counters for how many InterPro entries, Pfam domains, structures, and taxa are associated with it. Get protein details with all domain and family assignments
Get protein entries on EBI InterPro
This is the key tool for understanding "what domains does my protein have?" — the fundamental question in protein characterization. Get all InterPro entries matching a specific protein
Get proteome on EBI InterPro
Returns proteome ID, organism name, strain, reference status, and counters for associated entries and proteins. Use UniProt proteome IDs like UP000005640 (human). Get proteome details with domain coverage statistics
Get structure on EBI InterPro
Use a 4-character PDB ID like 1cbs or 4hhb. Get a PDB structure with mapped InterPro annotations
Get taxonomy on EBI InterPro
Returns the organism name, rank, lineage, number of children taxa, and counters for associated InterPro entries and proteins. Use IDs like 9606 (human), 10090 (mouse), 562 (E. coli). Get taxonomic node with entry and protein counts
List entry databases on EBI InterPro
Shows the number of entries in each database. Useful for understanding the scope of available domain and family annotations. List all InterPro member databases and entry counts
Search entries on EBI InterPro
Optionally filter by entry type: family, domain, homologous_superfamily, repeat, or site. Returns accessions, names, types, and protein/structure counts. Use queries like "kinase", "zinc finger", "immunoglobulin". Search InterPro entries by keyword and type
Search proteins on EBI InterPro
Returns UniProt accessions, names, lengths, organisms, and annotation counts. Use queries like "insulin", "hemoglobin", "BRCA1". Search proteins in InterPro by name or keyword
Search taxonomy on EBI InterPro

Why Use AutoGen with the EBI InterPro MCP Server
AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with EBI InterPro through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use EBI InterPro tools to solve complex tasks
Role-based architecture lets you assign EBI InterPro tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive EBI InterPro tool calls
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes EBI InterPro tool responses in an isolated environment
EBI InterPro + AutoGen Use Cases
Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the EBI InterPro MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Collaborative analysis: one agent queries EBI InterPro while another validates results and a third generates the final report
Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from EBI InterPro, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output
Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using EBI InterPro data to make informed decisions about resource distribution
Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process EBI InterPro responses in a sandboxed execution environment
Example Prompts for EBI InterPro in AutoGen
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your AutoGen agent to start working with EBI InterPro immediately.
"What domains and families does the human TP53 protein belong to?"
"Show me all member databases in InterPro and how many entries each has."
"Which organisms have the kinase domain PF00069?"
