cds_submit_request
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_submit_request for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.
Submit a data-retrieval job to the Copernicus Climate Data Store and return the job id and status. Requires your own free CDS Personal Access Token, passed as _apiKey. Use cds_collection first to learn the accepted inputs; CDS jobs are asynchronous — this returns immediately with a job id you poll on cds.climate.copernicus.eu.
Parameters
