`tnm_datasets`

Pack: usgs-national-map · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/usgs-national-map/mcp

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

List the USGS National Map dataset catalog — 3DEP elevation (DEM and lidar point cloud), US Topo and Historical Topo quadrangle maps, NHD hydrography, NLCD land cover, National Structures, Transportation and Boundaries — with each dataset’s refresh cycle, available formats and exact title. Call this FIRST: tnm_search_products needs the dataset title verbatim, and silently ignores one it does not recognise.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`filter`	string	no	Case-insensitive substring to narrow the catalog, e.g. “elevation”, “lidar”, “hydrography”
