Connects Claude to Dryad, the open research data repository at datadryad.org. No API key required. The source doesn't list specific tools, but this is part of Pipeworx's gateway to 808+ data sources, so you're likely looking at search and retrieval across scientific datasets. Runs over streamable HTTP rather than stdio, which means you point your MCP client at their hosted gateway instead of running anything locally. Useful if you're building agents that need to pull from academic research data, biodiversity datasets, or other scientific repositories without dealing with authentication. You can use it standalone or tap into the full Pipeworx gateway for broader data access.
Dryad (datadryad.org) MCP — keyless.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 808+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dryad": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dryad/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 808+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Dryad data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
