ERDDAP MCP Server
Discover and fetch ocean datasets from ERDDAP catalogs worldwide through MCP so your agent can build ETL and analysis without memorizing server URLs.
Overview
io.github.mansurjisan/erddap-mcp is a Build-phase MCP server that lets coding agents access ocean and environmental datasets from 80+ ERDDAP servers worldwide.
What is this MCP server?
- Access ocean and environmental data from 80+ ERDDAP servers worldwide
- Federated dataset discovery instead of one-off server bookmarks
- PyPI erddap-mcp 0.1.0 with stdio transport and uvx hint
- Pairs with coops-mcp and adcirc-mcp in ocean-mcp for end-to-end coastal stacks
- Suited to agent-driven subsetting and metadata exploration workflows
- Advertised access to 80+ ERDDAP servers worldwide
- PyPI package erddap-mcp version 0.1.0 with stdio transport
- Repository: mansurjisan/ocean-mcp on GitHub
Community signal: 5 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Ocean datasets are scattered across dozens of ERDDAP hosts, and solo developers waste time finding the right server and query pattern for each dataset.
Who is it for?
Indie builders and researchers assembling ocean or climate data products who want federated ERDDAP access inside their AI coding workflow.
Skip if: Builders who need only a single fixed CSV source with no ERDDAP or MCP requirement.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can explore and retrieve ERDDAP-backed datasets through one MCP integration, speeding prototypes and ETL jobs.
- Unified MCP access to 80+ ERDDAP servers for dataset search and retrieval
- Less manual ERDDAP URL and endpoint management in solo projects
- Composable ocean data integrations with other ocean-mcp packages
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
ERDDAP access is integration work—connecting distributed scientific archives to your code and agents—which belongs in the build phase for data-heavy solo products. This server wraps 80+ ERDDAP endpoints as MCP tools, which is exactly agent-tooling for external data federation during integrations.
How it compares
Federated ERDDAP data MCP spanning 80+ servers, not a single-station CO-OPS feed or an ADCIRC setup tool.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.mansurjisan/erddap-mcp for?
Solo developers and small teams working with distributed ocean ERDDAP archives who want MCP-based dataset discovery and access in Claude Code or Cursor.
When should I use io.github.mansurjisan/erddap-mcp?
Use it while building data pipelines, research tooling, or coastal analytics when you need to query multiple ERDDAP catalogs through your agent.
How do I add io.github.mansurjisan/erddap-mcp to my agent?
Configure the erddap-mcp PyPI MCP server (version 0.1.0, stdio) in your client, prefer uvx per runtime hint, and restart the agent before calling ERDDAP tools.
