🧬 Claude isn't the only AI that can query PDBe. PDBe MCP Servers work with other AI clients too, such as Google Antigravity. You only need one protocol for any MCP-compatible AI. 🎥 Watch the install walkthrough 👇 📦 github.com/PDBeurope/PDBe-MC… #PDBe #MCP #GoogleAntigravity

2/6 LLMs can describe protein structures. But until now, they couldn’t actually access PDBe’s live data. No fresh depositions. No schema-aware search. No graph exploration. No structured retrieval. So we built the bridge.

1/6🧪 Big news for structural biology and AI: PDBe is now AI-native. We’ve built MCP Servers that connect the Protein Data Bank in Europe and the Alphafold Protein Structure Database directly to Claude and other MCP-compatible AI systems. Here’s what that unlocks 👇
