A Model Context Protocol Server for the British Natural History Museum Data API
This project is a Python MCP (https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) server that allows your LLM to fetch data from the British Natural History Museum. Data can be fetched from their Specimens or Index Lots collections. More info on their Data API is available at https://naturalhistorymuseum.github.io/dataportal-docs/#introduction.
Developing
This section is for anyone who wants to contribute to the codebase.
Setup and Install Dependencies
Clone the repository.
The project is configured to use uv (Install link: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/#installation) for dependency management and building. It uses npx (Install link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx) to run the MCP inspector.
Create a virtual env with
uv venv
And install dependencies with
uv pip install -r pyproject.toml
Run the inspector with
./inspector.sh
The inspector should run at http://localhost:5173.
