Gdex is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.
What it does
MCP server for the GDEX (Geoscience Data Exchange) data portal: datasets, files, metrics, subsetting
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http gdex-mcp https://gdex-mcp.k8s.ucar.edu/mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# list_datasets, get_dataset_metadata, get_dataset_field and 27 more
Gdex costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine and nothing runs on ours: this server answers at its publisher’s own address, and what you install is the connection straight to it.
This is a public server: it answers at its publisher’s own address and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The transport below is http, as the publisher's own manifest declares it.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http gdex-mcp https://gdex-mcp.k8s.ucar.edu/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
One config entry pointing straight at the publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path, and nothing from this listing executes on your machine.
30 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
Tool surface
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
List datasets available on GDEX, with their IDs and titles. The full catalog has ~1700 datasets — far too many to return at once. Always pass query to filter by keyword unless the user specifically wants to browse the whole catalog page by page. Args: query: Keyword(s) to filter by, matched case-insensitively as a substring against dataset id and title. L
No parameter schema on file.
Return full metadata for a GDEX dataset (parameters, temporal range, spatial coverage, etc.). Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
No parameter schema on file.
Return one metadata field for a dataset. Prefer describe_dataset when the user wants a general summary covering several of these at once (abstract, temporal, spatial_coverage, variables, data_formats, volume) — this tool is for pulling a single field, including the fields describe_dataset doesn't cover (publications, contributors, related_datasets, documentation). Args:
No parameter schema on file.
Return a combined overview of a dataset — abstract, temporal coverage, spatial coverage, variables, data formats, and volume — in a single call. Prefer this over calling get_dataset_field repeatedly when the user wants a general summary of a dataset. If one of the underlying fields fails to load, it's returned as {"error": ...} rather than failing the whole call. Args:
No parameter schema on file.
Return file groups for a dataset. Pass gindex to get child groups under a parent. Groups nest (dataset -> format -> year -> month, or similar, varying by dataset) and there's no way to predict a child's gindex in advance — each group's gindex/url is dataset-specific and only knowable from the parent response. To drill down, read the gindex (or url) off a row in this response a
No parameter schema on file.
Return a paginated file listing for a dataset or a specific group. Depending on how deep gindex is in the group hierarchy, this returns either actual file rows or another layer of subgroup summaries — there's no way to tell in advance which you'll get. If you get subgroups, read the gindex (or url) off a row and call again with that gindex to go one level deeper; gindex values
No parameter schema on file.
Search a dataset's file-group hierarchy for files matching a name pattern (e.g. a date like "20220808"), without ever pulling a large, context-blowing file listing. Automates the pattern described in get_file_groups: recursively calls get_file_groups, descending into every child gindex, until a gindex returns no further children (a leaf group) — then calls get_dataset_files
No parameter schema on file.
Return the file-search datatypes available for a dataset (a subset of "grid", "cyclone_fix", "sensor"). Call this before the other filesearch_* tools to know which one(s) apply — a dataset only supports search for the datatypes it actually contains. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
No parameter schema on file.
Return the valid parameter/product/grid/level codes and date range for "grid" datatype file search on a dataset. Use this to discover the codes to pass to get_filesearch_grid_files, optionally narrowed by any filters you already know you want. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 valid_datetime_min: Restrict to data valid on/after "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"
No parameter schema on file.
Return the valid date range and other filters for "cyclone_fix" datatype file search on a dataset. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 valid_datetime_min: Restrict to data valid on/after "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" valid_datetime_max: Restrict to data valid on/before "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM"
No parameter schema on file.
Return the valid date range and other filters for "sensor" datatype file search on a dataset. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 valid_date_min: Restrict to data valid on/after "YYYY-MM-DD" valid_date_max: Restrict to data valid on/before "YYYY-MM-DD"
No parameter schema on file.
Search for data files containing "grid" datatype data, filtered by parameter code(s) and optionally by time range, product, grid, or level. Results are paginated; use get_filesearch_result_page with the returned result_id to fetch additional pages. Use get_filesearch_grid_filters first to find valid parameter/product/grid/level codes for this dataset. Args: dsid: Datas
No parameter schema on file.
Search for data files containing "cyclone_fix" datatype data, optionally filtered by time range. Results are paginated; use get_filesearch_result_page with the returned result_id to fetch additional pages. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 valid_datetime_min: Restrict to data valid on/after "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" valid_datetime_max: Restrict to data va
No parameter schema on file.
Search for data files containing "sensor" datatype data, optionally filtered by date range. Results are paginated; use get_filesearch_result_page with the returned result_id to fetch additional pages. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 valid_date_min: Restrict to data valid on/after "YYYY-MM-DD" valid_date_max: Restrict to data valid on/before "YYYY
No parameter schema on file.
Return a page of results from a previous get_filesearch_*_files call, by its result_id. Use this to page through file-search results beyond the first page (see the "pagination" block of a files/results response for num_pages and next_page). Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 result_id: The result_id from a previous filesearch files/results response
No parameter schema on file.
Return data access options for a dataset — download links, Globus URLs, access methods. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
No parameter schema on file.
Check whether Analysis-Ready Cloud-Optimized (ARCO) data is available for a dataset. For analysis tasks, call this (and check for a "Kerchunk Reference Files" group via get_file_groups) before reaching for raw data files — reading through ARCO/kerchunk references avoids downloading whole files just to subset them. When picking among kerchunk reference variants, always use the
No parameter schema on file.
Return the list of ARCO variables available for a dataset. Each row's type (index 2) is either "zarr" or "reference" (kerchunk). A "reference" variable is often listed multiple times, once per kerchunk reference variant (plain, "-remote-https", "-remote-osdf", etc.) — always pick the "-osdf" variant's URL; the others' chunk targets can be internal paths that only resolve on NC
No parameter schema on file.
Search ARCO variables by name for a dataset. As with get_arco_variables, a "reference" (kerchunk) match is often listed once per variant — always pick the "-osdf" variant's URL (reachable from anywhere), and open it with xr.open_dataset(url, engine="kerchunk", storage_options={"remote_protocol": "https", "lazy": True}). A "zarr" match needs no variant picking — its URL already
No parameter schema on file.
Return a GDEX portal-wide metric. Args: metric: One of: volume_downloaded, unique_users, total_datasets, total_citations, gdex_volume, total_requests, top_datasets, ai_datasets
No parameter schema on file.
Return a per-dataset metric. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 metric: One of: users_month, users_year, volume_month, volume_year
No parameter schema on file.
Return GDEX staff contacts, optionally filtered to a specific dataset. Args: dsid: Optional dataset ID. If omitted, returns all staff.
No parameter schema on file.
List all subsetting request statuses for the authenticated user. Requires GDEX_TOKEN.
No parameter schema on file.
Check the status of a specific subsetting request. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: rindex: Request index/ID
No parameter schema on file.
Return the output files for a completed subsetting request. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: rindex: Request index/ID
No parameter schema on file.
Return the control file template for building a subsetting request for a dataset. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002
No parameter schema on file.
Check a subset request body against the dataset's control file template, without submitting anything. Use this before submit_subset_request to catch missing or unrecognized fields fast, instead of finding out from a failed API call. Args: dsid: Dataset ID (dNNNNNN), e.g. d083002 request_json: JSON string of the subsetting request body to validate
No parameter schema on file.
Submit a data subset request to GDEX. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: request_json: JSON string of the subsetting request body. Use get_control_file_template to get the expected structure for a dataset, or validate_subset_request to check it before submitting.
No parameter schema on file.
Submit a subset request and poll its status until it finishes, fails, or timeout_s elapses — instead of calling submit_subset_request and then manually looping on check_request_status. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. GDEX's API schema doesn't document the exact status vocabulary, so "finished" is a best-effort match on the status text (words like "complete" vs. "error"/"fail"). If the ou
No parameter schema on file.
Delete a subsetting request and its output files. Requires GDEX_TOKEN. Args: rindex: Request index/ID to purge

What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |

Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install Gdex or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
This listing is an address its publisher runs, and you connect to it directly — this marketplace is not in the path. The scanner reads packages and public source, and an address is neither: the repository linked on this page is where this record was collected from, not a copy of what the address serves, so it is not graded in its place. So there is no grade — not a withheld one, an unmeasured one.
Release history
This is an address its publisher runs: which release it serves is theirs to choose, so there is nothing here to pin. The history below is for reading; the current release on file is 0.1.0.
No release note was published with this version.
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish Gdex can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
