What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: recent bird observations by region · notable/rare sightings · species-specific observations · observations near coordinates · historical observations · regional arrival/departure statistics · species taxonomy · birding hotspot information
Coverage llm-inferred: Global (ENTRY regions metadata); queries use region codes such as US-CA
Formats llm-inferred: MCP stdio
Access docs-verified: eBird API token required (sign up for an eBird account, then request a token); server code MIT licensed

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Pre-development bird baseline from recent and historic observations near a site (ecology scoping) · Notable/rare species check within a search radius for ecological constraints screening · Species-specific occurrence records for habitat assessment context · Hotspot identification to inform bird survey planning
Audience llm-inferred: ecologists · ecological consultants · environmental planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Requires an eBird API token; ENTRY auth field is null but docs say a token is needed · Docs have the token hard-coded in server.py (line 15), so the token sits in source code · Requires Python 3.12+, uv or pip, git, and Claude Desktop (local install) · Claude Desktop config examples are given for Windows and Mac-OS only · Region codes must be valid or no data is returned · UK coverage is not stated in the docs · No rate limits, resolution or update frequency documented
