Connects Claude to the US National Park Service API through the Pipeworx gateway. The source doesn't list specific tools, but NPS APIs typically cover park searches, alerts, campgrounds, visitor centers, and events across 400+ sites. No API key required since Pipeworx handles authentication with their free tier. You can call tools directly or use ask_pipeworx to query in plain English and let it route to the right endpoint. Useful when building travel apps, park discovery tools, or anything needing live data about trails, amenities, or conditions. Also available as part of the full Pipeworx gateway if you need their other 250+ data sources.
NPS MCP — US National Park Service (free key, generous limits)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"nps": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nps/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Nps data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
