Server Details
RCSB PDB MCP — experimentally determined macromolecular structures.
Glama couldn't complete the latest health check. If this server requires authentication, missing or expired test credentials may be the cause. A test profile lets Glama authenticate for health checks and discover tools; it is separate from your personal connections.

Scored across 37 tools
There is substantial overlap among the router/meta tools: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta (explicitly stated to currently match ask_pipeworx), ask_pipeworx_grounded, and deep_research all answer questions over the same 5,961-tool catalog, and entity_profile/compare_entities/recent_changes/validate_claim also heavily overlap on entity research. The detailed descriptions help but cannot fully resolve boundaries an agent must guess between.
Names are uniformly snake_case, with no camelCase or chaotic mixing. The only inconsistency is verb style — some are verb_noun (list_subscriptions, resolve_entity, validate_claim) while others are bare nouns (structure, summary, ligand) — but the convention remains predictable.
37 tools is very heavy for the advertised RCSB PDB scope, which needs only ~6 tools. The bulk of the surface (LLM-visibility, Polymarket, memory, subscriptions, dependency scanning) is unrelated to the server name, making the count feel bloated and mismatched.
For the PDB domain the six tools (search, structure, summary, assembly, ligand, polymer_entity) cover the core entry/entity/ligand lifecycle well. Minor gaps exist (no sequence/chemical-component search), but the primary structural-biology workflows are covered.
