Pymol MCP
What is PyMOL-MCP?
PyMOL-MCP is a bridge between PyMOL (a powerful molecular visualization tool) and Claude AI. It allows researchers to control molecular visualization and analysis through natural language commands, making structural biology more accessible.How to use PyMOL-MCP?
After installation, you simply chat with Claude while having PyMOL running. Claude will translate your natural language requests into PyMOL commands automatically.Use Cases
Ideal for structural biologists, biochemistry researchers, and students who want to visualize and analyze molecular structures without memorizing complex PyMOL commands.Key Features
Two-way CommunicationReal-time interaction between Claude AI and PyMOL through socket connection
Natural Language ProcessingUnderstands and executes PyMOL commands expressed in natural language
Visualization ControlFull control over molecular representations, colors, and views
Structural AnalysisPerform measurements, alignments, and other structural analyses
Pros and Cons
