Search fossil occurrences, taxon ranges, diversity through deep time, and the geologic time scale. Connect the official Paleobiology MCP Server MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.
Free to start · No credit card · No hosting needed
Pick your client. Copy, paste, done — or let gate handle sign-ins and policies for you.

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “paleobiology_search_occurrences”: Search fossil occurrences filtered by taxon, geologic time, geography, and depositional environment — the flagship. Use base_name for a clad.”
“Use “paleobiology_get_taxon”: Resolve a taxon by name (e.g. "Tyrannosaurus") or by integer taxon_no to its accepted name, rank, higher classification, immediate parent, f.”
“Use “paleobiology_get_diversity”: Compute a diversity / origination / extinction curve for a clade across geologic time, binned by period, epoch, or age — answers "plot dinos.”
“Use “paleobiology_list_intervals”: Look up the geologic time scale — eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages with their absolute-age boundaries in millions of years (Ma) and nes.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Paleobiology MCP Server holds up.
gate scanned 7 tools on Sep 22, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.
Operated by Paleobiology MCP Server (caseyjhand.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Paleobiology MCP Server adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Paleobiology MCP Server in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Paleobiology MCP Server's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://paleobiology.caseyjhand.com/mcpYes — Paleobiology MCP Server operates its own remote MCP server at paleobiology.caseyjhand.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Paleobiology MCP Server in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Paleobiology MCP Server's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. Paleobiology MCP Server runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Paleobiology MCP Server in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
