`cds_submit_request`

Pack: copernicus-cds · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

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. Poll it with cds_job_status (same _apiKey) until it reads “successful”, then collect the download link with cds_job_result.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`collection_id`	string	yes	Collection id to retrieve from, e.g. “reanalysis-era5-single-levels”.
`inputs`	object	yes	The request body inputs, exactly as the collection form declares them, e.g. {“variable”:[“2m_temperature”],“year”:[“2024”],“month”:[“01”],“day”:[“01”],“time”:[“12:00”],“data_format”:“netcdf”}.
`_apiKey`	string	yes	Your own Copernicus CDS Personal Access Token (BYO). ${KEY_HELP}
