gbif-mcp-server

Each tool clearly targets a distinct operation on a specific resource type (occurrences, species, datasets, publishers). For example, count_occurrences, search_occurrences, and occurrence_facets serve different purposes (counting, searching, aggregating), and get_species vs search_species vs match_species are well-differentiated. No two tools have overlapping functionality.

All tools use the 'gbif_' prefix and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., gbif_count_occurrences, gbif_get_dataset, gbif_search_occurrences). The only minor deviation is gbif_occurrence_facets, which places the verb second; however, the pattern is still highly recognizable and consistent overall.

With 12 tools covering search, retrieval, counting, faceting, and matching across occurrences, species, datasets, and publishers, the tool count is well-proportioned to the server's purpose. Each tool addresses a specific need without redundancy or bloat.

The tool set covers the essential GBIF operations: name resolution (match_species), occurrence search and counting (search_occurrences, count_occurrences, occurrence_facets), species taxonomy (get_species, get_species_children, get_species_classification, search_species), dataset and publisher metadata (search_datasets, get_dataset, search_publishers), and detailed occurrence records (get_occurrence). No obvious dead ends or missing operations for typical biodiversity queries.
