Data offered docs-verified: species occurrence records · occurrence counts by taxon and ISO country code · occurrence records with coordinates · distinct species lists within higher taxonomic groups
Coverage llm-inferred: Global
Formats llm-inferred: MCP stdio
Access docs-verified: Requires Google Cloud BigQuery service-account credentials, executed through a separate BigQuery MCP server; server code licensed MIT per docs.

Use cases llm-inferred: Count taxon occurrences with coordinates in a project country as an ecology desk-study baseline · List species within an order (e.g. Lepidoptera) recorded in a site's country for BNG habitat screening · Pull recent occurrence records with coordinates near a development area for protected species scoping
Audience llm-inferred: ecologists · environmental consultants · GIS analysts

Constraints llm-inferred: Requires separately installed BigQuery MCP server and Google Cloud service-account credentials · get_occurrence_records returns at most 10,000 records (default 100) · ENTRY describes the server as a toy; production readiness and maintenance are unverified · No spatial or temporal resolution or update cadence stated in docs · Country-level filtering only uses ISO country codes; no UK-specific or catchment-level filtering documented

Auto-extracted, unverified fields: tools, install, auth. Check upstream documentation.

Tools/install/auth auto-extracted from README; quality score heuristic (stars, recency, tool count, licence).
