Connects Claude to the Paleobiology Database, the open repository of fossil occurrence and taxonomic data spanning 540 million years. No API key required. Part of the Pipeworx gateway system that routes to 808+ data sources. You can either query fossil records directly through individual tools or use the ask_pipeworx interface to ask questions in plain English and let it select the right API calls. Useful when you need programmatic access to paleontological datasets for research, education, or building tools that work with deep time biological data. Runs over streamable HTTP, so it works with any MCP client that supports remote connections.
Paleobiology Database (PBDB) MCP — the global fossil record. 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": {
"paleobiodb": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/paleobiodb/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 Paleobiodb data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
