Koskamo

Paleobiology MCP

An MCP server providing access to the Paleobiology Database (PBDB) for biodiversity research. It allows agents to search fossil occurrences, resolve taxon ranges, compute diversity curves, and query the geologic time scale. It supports STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports and includes tools for SQL queries on staged data via DataCanvas.
