Catalogueoflife

Connects Claude to the Catalogue of Life's 2.2 million accepted species names through eight focused tools. You get exact name matching, taxonomic search, full classification chains from kingdom down to species, vernacular names, synonyms, and child taxa lookups. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either call tools directly or use ask_pipeworx to query in plain English and let it route to the right endpoint. Useful when you need authoritative taxonomic data for species identification, building phylogenetic tools, or validating scientific names against a maintained global index.
