Human Protein Atlas (HPA) MCP — keyless.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search the Human Protein Atlas for human genes/proteins by gene symbol or keyword. Returns each gene with its Ensembl gene id (needed by get_protein and top_tissues), synonyms, and description. Keyless. |
| Get a trimmed Human Protein Atlas profile for one protein by Ensembl gene id (e.g. "ENSG00000146648"): gene, description, protein class, biological process, molecular function, RNA tissue specificity/distribution, subcellular location, and disease involvement. Use search_genes to find the Ensembl id. Keyless. |
| List a protein's top-expressing human tissues by RNA expression (nTPM), highest first, for one Ensembl gene id. Use search_genes to find the Ensembl id. Keyless. |

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"protein-atlas": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/protein-atlas/mcp"
}
}
}Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Protein Atlas data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
