qfoldit-bionemo-agent-toolkit

qfoldit-bionemo-agent-toolkit is a skill for Claude Code from qfoldit/Protein-Design-MCP. It costs 159 tokens per session (1,675 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A toolkit for using five NVIDIA BioNeMo models, which are AI services for studying proteins, DNA, and small molecules. It covers protein-structure prediction, molecule docking, molecule generation, DNA-sequence generation, and structure or binding-affinity prediction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to predict protein or molecular structures, test how a molecule may fit a protein, generate small molecules, create DNA sequences, and estimate structure or binding affinity.
Why use it?
It groups several molecular-modeling tasks behind documented calls and identifies the local containers, API keys, and GPU requirements needed to run them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

qfoldit-bionemo-agent-toolkit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bionemo_client.py, scripts/smoke_test.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

qFoldIT BioNeMo Agent Toolkit

A client for five NVIDIA BioNeMo NIM microservices that do not already have their own MCP server, plus documented guidance on the one that does (AlphaFold3, via alphafold3_mcp).

Read references/api_reference.md before answering — exact endpoint paths and request/response shapes, each individually verified against NVIDIA's own documentation. Read references/alphafold3_mcp.md before saying anything about AlphaFold3 specifically — the integration approach there was corrected this session (see below).

What is implemented

Component Function Requirement
AlphaFold2 predict_protein_structure_af2(sequence, ...) Self-hosted NIM container, NGC API key
DiffDock dock_ligand(protein_pdb, ligand, ...) Self-hosted NIM container, NGC API key
MolMIM generate_molecules(seed_smiles, ...), get_molecule_embedding(smiles) Self-hosted NIM container, NGC API key
Evo 2 generate_dna_sequence_evo2(sequence, ...) Self-hosted NIM container, H100/H200-class GPU
Boltz-2 predict_structure_boltz2(polymers, ligands=..., ...) Self-hosted NIM container, >=48GB VRAM GPU

All five are implemented in scripts/bionemo_client.py as thin, honest requests-based HTTP clients against a self-hosted NIM container (default base_url="http://localhost:8000"). Every endpoint/payload shape was checked against NVIDIA's own docs during this session — see references/api_reference.md for citations per model. On any HTTP failure, the real error (status + body) is raised; no result is ever fabricated.

AlphaFold3 — different pattern, not reimplemented here

AlphaFold3 is not wrapped by this skill's own code. It already has a separate, real MCP server — MacromNex/alphafold3_mcp — which should be installed and connected in the same Claude session, the same way qFoldIT treats unity-mcp, UnrealClaude, or kit-usd-agents elsewhere: when an existing bridge already covers a tool, use it directly instead of duplicating it. See references/alphafold3_mcp.md for what was (and was not) verified about it this session — in particular, its exact exposed tool names were not confirmed; introspect the connected server's tool list rather than assuming names.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
