# GBIF integrations Connect GBIF to any other app, or use it from your AI client over MCP. GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) publishes an open index of species occurrence records contributed by museums, herbaria, and monitoring networks worldwide. Callers can search occurrences by scientific name, taxon key, country, dataset, collector, basis of record, date range, or geographic polygon and read each record's coordinates, event date, and publishing institution. It also matches and looks up names in the GBIF backbone taxonomy, returns species profiles, vernacular names, and classifications, and lists datasets, publishing organizations, and installations. No credentials required. No account needed[gbif.org](https://gbif.org/) **8** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want to automate with GBIF? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Zed Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Any other MCP client Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Action **Get dataset** Retrieve full details of a single GBIF-registered dataset by its key (UUID). - Action **Get occurrence** Retrieve a single occurrence record by its GBIF occurrence id. - Action **Get species** Retrieve a single name usage (species/taxon) record by its GBIF usage key. - Action **Match species name** Fuzzy-match a scientific name string against the GBIF Backbone Taxonomy to resolve it to a canonical taxon key. - Action **Parse scientific name** Parse one or more free-text scientific name strings into their structured components (genus, specificEpithet, authorship, rank, etc) using GBIF's name parser. ## Related apps -

APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with GBIF. Add that address to any AI client that takes a remote MCP server, sign in once in your browser, and your client can build, test and run automations that use GBIF. Nothing to install. ### ### What can your agent do in GBIF? Any of GBIF's 8 actions, including Find datasets, Find occurrences, Find species and Get dataset. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Which apps can GBIF connect to? Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs GBIF with each of them. If the other app is missing, point your agent at its API documentation and it builds the connector. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
