OSDU MCP Server

AI-powered access to OSDU subsurface data through natural language.

Enable AI assistants to interact with the OSDU (Open Subsurface Data Universe) platform through conversational interfaces. Search data, manage schemas, handle records, and maintain compliance—all through natural language.

Why OSDU MCP Server?

Transform complex OSDU API workflows into simple conversations:

Before:

curl -X POST https://osdu.com/api/search/v2/query \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -d '{"kind":"osdu:wks:master-data--Well:*"}'
# ... parse JSON, check schemas, format records, handle ACLs ...

After:

You: "Find all wells in the North Sea and show their schemas"
AI: ✅ Found 247 wells
    📋 Retrieved schema requirements
    🎯 Ready to work with the data
