Connects Claude to the Ocean Biodiversity Information System, a global database of marine species observations and occurrence data. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem that bundles access to 808+ data sources through a single MCP endpoint. The source doesn't list specific tools, but you can query it using the ask_pipeworx interface by asking questions in plain English rather than calling structured tool names. Useful when you need to look up marine species distributions, biodiversity patterns, or oceanographic data without leaving your AI workflow. Available as a standalone server or through the full Pipeworx gateway for broader access to their entire catalog.
OBIS (Ocean Biodiversity Information System) MCP.
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": {
"obis": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/obis/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 Obis data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
