This connects Claude to the World Register of Marine Species, the authoritative taxonomic database for ocean life. It's part of Pipeworx's gateway network offering keyless access to 808+ data sources. The server runs over streamable HTTP and includes an ask_pipeworx tool that handles natural language queries without needing to know specific tool names or parameters. Useful when you're building marine biology applications, validating species names, looking up taxonomic hierarchies, or need programmatic access to WoRMS data without managing API keys. You can use it standalone or through the full Pipeworx gateway for broader data access.
WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species) 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": {
"worms": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/worms/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 Worms data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
