Atlarium Habitat Database MCP

What Atlarium Habitat Database MCP MCP server does

Atlarium Habitat Database MCP MCP server gives AI agents read-only access to public Atlarium habitat data and advisory functions. Its coverage includes fish, aquatic animals, aquatic plants, algae, diseases, plant problems, medicines, products, equipment, fertilizers, educational guides, and water-related calculations. The data is intended for aquariums, marine and coldwater systems, terrariums, paludariums, and vivariums.

The server supports research and planning workflows rather than account management. An agent can find species or products, retrieve structured profiles, compare species with tank conditions, investigate diagnostic references, calculate aquarium-related values, and produce a suggested habitat plan. Habitat suggestions can include species, plants, products, warnings, motivations, and related guides.

All results are advisory. Compatibility, diagnostic, fertilization, equipment, and planning outputs should be checked against actual livestock, equipment, water chemistry, husbandry requirements, and applicable local rules.

How it works

The hosted service uses Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.atlarium.bio/mcp. Authentication is not required, and the public tools do not expose Atlarium accounts, private workspaces, administrative APIs, or write operations. A compatible MCP client connects to the endpoint and makes tool calls through its agent interface.

The tool surface contains 39 public read-only tools. It is organized around species and plants, products and guides, diagnostics, product catalogs, compatibility and water parameters, fertilization, calculators, and habitat planning. The service also advertises nine guided public prompts and an MCP Apps widget resource for hosts that support it. The widget can render public habitat results, profiles, diagnostic summaries, product results, calculator output, compatibility summaries, fertilization plans, and habitat suggestions.

Setup and configuration

Add the remote endpoint to an MCP client using its Streamable HTTP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlarium": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.atlarium.bio/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code can be configured with:

claude mcp add --transport http atlarium https://mcp.atlarium.bio/mcp

The README also provides setup examples for Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and VS Code. Cursor can use the supplied install link or mcp.json; Cline requires a remote Streamable HTTP server entry; Windsurf and VS Code have example configuration files. The repository includes generic JSON-RPC examples for other Streamable HTTP clients.

No server-side environment variables or API credentials are documented for connecting to the hosted service. Health and server-card endpoints are available for basic checks at /health and /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json on the service domain.

Tools and capabilities

• Search and retrieve fish, aquatic animal, and plant profiles.
• Search and retrieve guides, products, equipment, fertilizers, medicines, algae, diseases, and plant-problem profiles.
• Match diagnostic profiles to support reference-based triage.
• Check species compatibility and compare tank conditions such as size, pH, hardness, and temperature.
• Suggest species for a tank and generate a broader habitat plan.
• Search fertilization regimes and calculate doses, nutrient gaps, weekly totals, and complete fertilization plans.
• Calculate tank volume, tank weight, water changes, water chemistry, unit conversions, and equipment requirements.
• Browse product categories and brands.

Atlarium Habitat Database MCP MCP server returns public information and calculated or advisory outputs; it does not provide mutation tools. The advertised widget likewise does not add write access or expose workspace, authentication, administrative, journal, schedule, or measurement data.

Limitations and notes

Atlarium Habitat Database MCP MCP server is read-only and public. It is not a replacement for observing livestock, testing water, validating equipment requirements, or applying professional and local guidance. The human documentation address is https://atlarium.bio/mcp, but the canonical MCP connection URL is https://mcp.atlarium.bio/mcp.

The repository identifies the project as MIT licensed. Its MCP Apps widget is available to Apps-compatible hosts, while the README distinguishes the existing approved ChatGPT app version from a newer submission that was still under review. That review status should not be treated as approval for the newer app package.
