Tools (4)
get_occurrencesGet georeferenced observation records for a species with coordinates, dates, and sources. Pass either `name` (a scientific name like "Danaus plexippus" — resolved automatically) or a numeric GBIF backbone `key`. Filter by country code (e.g., 'US', 'BR', 'AU') to narrow results geographically.
Parameters not published.
get_speciesGet complete taxonomic classification for a species (kingdom through subspecies). Requires taxon key from search_species. Returns all ranks and accepted name status.
Parameters not published.
occurrences_nearFind species occurrence records NEAR a location (latitude/longitude + radius). PREFER for "what species/wildlife are found near here", "what birds/plants occur around these coordinates", "is <species> recorded near this spot". Optionally filter by a GBIF taxon key (from search_species) to a group or species — e.g. 212 = birds, 6 = plants, 359 = mammals. Returns georeferenced records with species name, date, locality, and source.
Parameters not published.
search_speciesSearch for species by common or scientific name. Returns matched taxa with rank, classification status, and taxonomic hierarchy. Use get_species with the taxon key for full details.
Parameters not published.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gbif": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gbif/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Gbif data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
