Premium tools
These tools need a license key:
Buy a key at https://mcp-marketplace.io/server/io-github-mrfentmen-rcsb-pdb-mcp and set it in your MCP client config:
"env": { "MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "mcp_live_..." }
The key is checked against MCP Marketplace, cached for 24 hours, and keeps
working offline once one check has succeeded. Every other tool on this server
stays free.
