mcp-opentopography

OpenTopography global DEM rasters + point queries (free key)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | point_elevation | Elevation at a point (returns a 1-pixel raster URL — use opentopodata for direct point values). | | dem | DEM raster for a bounding box (returns URL to GeoTIFF). | | datasets | List available DEM datasets. |

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opentopography": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/opentopography/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ 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 Opentopography data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
