Movebank integrations

Connect Movebank to any other app, or use it from your AI client over MCP. Movebank is a research data platform for animal movement and migration tracking, hosting GPS and sensor telemetry contributed by wildlife biologists worldwide. A caller can search studies by name, taxon, or location, list the individual animals and tag deployments within a study, retrieve the study's sensor types and attribute descriptions, and download time-stamped location events for a given animal or date range. Public studies are readable without a login. No credentials required.
