Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_categories

    List the seven species groups with the label in the requested language and the species count. Call first to learn the valid `category` values.

  • search_animals

    Search species by free text in any of eight languages or by scientific name, with optional category, habitat and ISO country filters. Ranked by iNaturalist observations. One page of card-sized records.

  • get_animal

    Read one species: every common name, scientific name, habitats, country observation counts, the full photo credit and the Wikipedia summary.

  • list_countries

    List every ISO country code that carries observations with its species count.

Common questions

Is Animal Checklist safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 36 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Animal Checklist MCP

Animal Checklist offers two remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP.

ServerURLAccess
Species cataloghttps://animalchecklist.com/mcpPublic, read only
Your accounthttps://animalchecklist.com/mcp/accountPersonal MCP key

The public server searches animal species and returns these details:

  • Names.
  • Habitats.
  • Countries.
  • Photos.
  • Source credits.

The account server also reads your synced sightings. A read-write key can mark a catalog species seen.

To configure account access:

  1. Create a personal key on your Account page.
  2. Choose a read key unless your MCP app must mark animals seen.
  3. Copy the key when it appears. Animal Checklist shows it only once.
  4. Remove the key from the same page when you no longer use the app.

Keys expire after 90 days.

Configure the account server with this HTTP header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MCP_KEY

Keep the key in your MCP client's secret store. Do not commit it to a repository. The public mcp.json contains only the keyless catalog server because the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 format does not define portable secret references.

Both endpoints support MCP 2026-07-28 with per-request metadata and matching HTTP headers. Legacy clients retain initialization and result shapes. The authenticated account endpoint can expose checklist.sighting_changed after the operator enables its safe relay. Check server/discover with your key for Events readiness. The keyless catalog has no Events capability. See the Events contract.

The server.json and server-account.json files describe both servers for the official MCP Registry. The mcp.json file provides a portable public-server connection. See the developer guide for tool details and a client config example.
