Connects your AI agent to the National Data Platform's search and discovery APIs for browsing datasets across government, academic, and scientific repositories. Part of the larger CLIO Kit collection from IoWarp, which bundles 16+ MCP servers for scientific computing workflows. This one specifically handles dataset search and metadata retrieval from NDP's federated catalog. You'd reach for this when working with research data discovery pipelines or building tools that need to find datasets by domain, keywords, or data characteristics. Runs via stdio transport using the standard uvx clio-kit mcp-server ndp command. Built by the Gnosis Research Center at Illinois Tech with a focus on HPC and scientific computing use cases.
