`cds_collection`

Pack: copernicus-cds · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/copernicus-cds/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/cds_collection for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Full detail for ONE Copernicus Climate Data Store collection by id (e.g. “reanalysis-era5-single-levels”). Returns the STAC record — title, abstract, keywords, licence, temporal and bounding-box extent, documentation links — AND the request form: the variables, years, months, pressure levels, area and output formats the retrieval job will accept. Keyless. Call this before cds_submit_request to learn what the dataset actually accepts.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`collection_id`	string	yes	Collection id from cds_collections, e.g. “reanalysis-era5-single-levels”.
`include_form`	boolean	no	Include the retrieval request form (the accepted inputs). Default true.
