Battery MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides battery materials validation capabilities. This server enables LLMs to verify invented bettery materials are novel and valid or not.

[!CAUTION] This server can access local/internal IP addresses and may represent a security risk. Exercise caution when using this MCP server to ensure this does not expose any sensitive data.

Available Tools

search_material

Searches and returns relevant battery materials from the database.

Parameters:

• formula (string, required): Formula query for battery materials (e.g., "LiCoO2")
• n (integer, optional): Number of results to return (default: 5, min: 1, max: 100)

verify_input_material

Validates whether a material exists in the database.

Parameters:

• original_material (string, required): Material formula to validate (e.g., "LiFePO4")

battery_material_validation

Parses and validates battery materials from a query, comparing them against a reference material.

Parameters:

• original_material (string, required): Reference battery material (e.g., "LiCoO2")
• query (string, required): Comma-separated list of proposed materials (e.g., "Li2B4O7, Li1.06Ti2O4")

Installation

This MCP server requires API key from materials project, you can get api key and use it with env variable MP_API_KEY

export MP_API_KEY=

Using uv (recommended)

When using uv no specific installation is needed. We will use uvx to directly run battery-mcp.

Using PIP

Alternatively you can install battery-mcp via pip:

pip install battery-mcp

After installation, you can run it as a script using:

python -m battery-mcp

Running with streamable-http

You can also deploy mcp as http server with streamable-http transport protocol

python -m battery-mcp --transport http --http-host 0.0.0.0 --http-port 8080

or using uvx

uvx battery-mcp --transport http --http-host 0.0.0.0 --http-port 8080

Configuration

Configure for Claude.app

Add to your Claude settings:
