How do I register this skill with Claude?

You can register it using the 'claude mcp add' command with the stdio transport pointing to the local Python installation of the essdive-mcp server.

Can this skill visualize data locations?

Yes, it includes a tool to convert coordinates and bounding boxes into interactive map links for Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and geojson.io.

ESS-DIVE is the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) data repository for Environmental Systems Science (ESS) research.

Do I need an API token to use this skill?

While public datasets may be searchable, an ESS-DIVE API token is required to access dataset permissions and specific protected metadata tools.

What is the FLMD parsing feature?

It allows Claude to interpret File Level Metadata CSVs, which provide granular descriptions of individual files within a larger scientific dataset.
