Summary
Connects Claude to the Trefle global plant database covering over a million species. You get two tools: get_plant pulls full records by ID including scientific names, family, conservation status, and images, while search_species lets you query by name to find the right species before drilling in. Hosted through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either connect directly to the Trefle endpoint or use their unified gateway that includes 250+ other data sources. Useful when you're building anything around botany, gardening apps, biodiversity research, or agricultural tools where you need structured plant taxonomy and metadata on demand.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Trefle MCP — global plant database (1M+ species)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_plant | Full plant record by Trefle ID. Returns scientific/common names, family, status, image, year, main species. |
search_species | Search species (the rank below plants — some plants have multiple species). Returns Trefle species ID + scientific name. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"trefle": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/trefle/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Trefle data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
