PlantNET MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Identify plant species, diseases, and cultivated varieties using the Pl@ntNet AI engine — analyze images and access global taxonomic data.

17 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect the Pl@ntNet API to your AI agent to transform it into a powerful botanical assistant. This server allows you to identify thousands of plant species, detect diseases, and explore taxonomic referentials directly through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Species Identification — Submit image URLs of leaves, flowers, fruits, or bark to identify species across global or regional projects.
  • Disease & Pest Detection — Analyze plant health by identifying common diseases and pests from visual symptoms.
  • Cultivated Varieties — Specifically identify crops and cultivated plant varieties (varieties/crops) from images.
  • Taxonomic Exploration — List available projects, browse species lists, and align scientific names with official taxonomies.
  • Advanced Surveys — Perform multi-species identification on high-resolution imagery (Beta) and estimate processing costs.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your PlantNET API Key
  3. Start identifying plants from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Botanists & Researchers — Quickly verify species names and access regional taxonomic databases.
  • Farmers & Gardeners — Identify pests and diseases affecting crops to take timely action.
  • Nature Enthusiasts — Learn about the flora around you by simply providing a photo URL.

Identify this plant species from the image: https://example.com/flower.jpg. It's a flower.

I've analyzed the image. With a confidence of 98%, this is identified as *Rosa canina* (Dog Rose). It belongs to the Rosaceae family.

Check if there are any diseases on this leaf: https://example.com/sick-leaf.jpg

The analysis suggests a high probability of *Puccinia graminis* (Wheat stem rust). I recommend checking for reddish-brown spores on the leaf surface.

List the first 10 species available in the 'k-world-flora' project.

Fetching species from 'k-world-flora'... Here are the first 10: 1. *Abies alba*, 2. *Abies balsamea*, 3. *Abies concolor*... Would you like to see more details for any of these?

Use the `identify_species` tool. Provide the image URL and specify the organ shown (e.g., 'flower', 'leaf'). You can set the project to 'all' for a global search.
