Access oceanographic and environmental data from ERDDAP servers worldwide through Claude Desktop via **two complete MCP implementations**: local
Erddap2mcp mcp server connects Erddap2mcp to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Access oceanographic and environmental data from ERDDAP servers worldwide through Claude Desktop via two complete MCP implementations: local stdio and remote HTTP.

ERDDAP (Environmental Research Division's Data Access Program) is a data server that provides simple, consistent access to scientific datasets in common file formats. These MCP servers make ERDDAP's powerful oceanographic data accessible to AI assistants through natural language queries.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 4 tools directly:
list_servers — Show well-known ERDDAP servers worldwidesearch_datasets — Search for datasets by keywordget_dataset_info — Get detailed metadata about a datasetto_pandas — Download and preview dataThe server is distributed via npm as mcp-remote, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Erddap2mcp sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — list_servers, search_datasets, get_dataset_info among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_servers | Show well-known ERDDAP servers worldwide |
| search_datasets | Search for datasets by keyword |
| get_dataset_info | Get detailed metadata about a dataset |
| to_pandas | Download and preview data |
**2. Configure Claude Desktop:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"erddap-remote": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://erddap2mcp.fly.dev/"]
}
}
}Configuration as documented by the project. Restart the client after saving.
The simplest web tool that matters — fetch any URL and get model-ready markdown back.
Industrial-strength web extraction — render, scrape, crawl and search entire sites into clean markdown.
Puppeteer-powered browser control that drives pages from the accessibility tree instead of pixels.
Search built for AI, not humans — semantic web search that returns model-ready content, plus code context.
Answers, not links — delegate questions to Perplexity's search-grounded models and get cited responses back.
Put 6,000+ pre-built scrapers at your assistant's fingertips through one MCP endpoint.
