Overview

What is macrostrat-mcp?

macrostrat-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants and applications with access to the Macrostrat API within Claude Desktop. It enables natural‑language queries of comprehensive geologic data—such as geologic units, columns, minerals, and timescales—for geological analysis and graphics creation.

How to use macrostrat-mcp?

Install automatically via Smithery using npx -y @smithery/cli install @blake365/macrostrat-mcp --client claude, or manually by cloning the repository, running npm install and npm run build. Configure it in Claude Desktop by adding a server entry to claude_desktop_config.json with command: "node" and args pointing to the built index.js file. Restart Claude Desktop to start querying geologic data with natural language.
