uniprot-mcp is open-source software released under Apache-2.0. Support is community-driven; the maintainer (Santiago Maniches, TOPOLOGICA LLC) responds to issues on a best-effort basis.
This document exists because the Anthropic Connectors Directory requires a clear support contact for every listed MCP server.
| Question | Channel |
|---|---|
| "How do I install / run / configure this?" | Open a GitHub Discussion or an issue with the question label. |
| "I think this is a bug." | Open a GitHub Issue using the bug template. Include the version (uniprot-mcp --version), Python version, OS, and the smallest input that reproduces. |
| "This is a security vulnerability." | Do not open a public issue. See SECURITY.md. |
| "I'd like to contribute." | See CONTRIBUTING.md. PRs welcome; small PRs land faster than large ones. |
| "Commercial / enterprise / regulated-environment support." | Email santiago.maniches@gmail.com with subject [uniprot-mcp commercial]. The orchestrator tier (topologica-bio) is the commercial product; commercial licensing of uniprot-mcp itself is not necessary because the project is permissively Apache-2.0. |
- Bug reports: triaged within 7 days. Critical correctness bugs (wrong UniProt data, security implications, broken release artefacts) are prioritised over polish.
- Feature requests: read within 7 days; not all are accepted. Scope is bounded by the project goals: a narrow-and-deep MCP for UniProt. Cross-database orchestration belongs in
topologica-bio, not here. - Pull requests: reviewed within 14 days. Squash-merge to keep
mainhistory readable. - Security reports: see
SECURITY.mdfor the dedicated SLA.
These are best-effort targets, not contractual commitments. The maintainer is one person; please be patient.
- UniProt itself. If a UniProt accession is missing or incorrect, that is a UniProt data issue. Direct contact:
https://www.uniprot.org/contact. - MCP protocol questions unrelated to this server. See https://modelcontextprotocol.io.
- General Python / async / packaging help. Stack Overflow is the right venue.
