Connects Claude to the Encyclopedia of Life's biodiversity database with four straightforward tools: search by common or scientific name, fetch taxon pages with synonyms and hierarchies, look up page IDs by exact scientific name, and traverse full taxonomic trees. Runs as a streamable HTTP service through Pipeworx's gateway, so no local installation needed. Useful when you're building natural history apps, need to validate species names, or want to pull taxonomic context into research workflows. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in plain English instead of calling tools directly, which speeds up exploratory work.
