What you can do with Dryad API via MCP

Every endpoint below becomes a governed tool your AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, or a customer-facing VX agent) can call — with scoped permissions, sandbox testing, and audit logs.

Usage guide

Public Dryad dataset metadata and file listings are available through the documented REST API. Use a descriptive `User-Agent`, respect pagination and rate limits, and do not assume that every file is freely downloadable without checking the dataset license.
