Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 536 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name noaa-climate.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 3 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 536 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 536 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    0 of 13 parameters have a description (0%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    3 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Fail
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-04-02T02:26:40.698859Z, which is older than 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 3

find_stations

Find NOAA weather stations in an area. Returns a list of weather stations with their IDs, names, coordinates, and active date ranges. Use the station IDs with get_climate_data. Args: state: Two-letter US state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'NY'). county_fips: Five-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '36061' for Manhattan). dataset: Dataset ID to filter stations that have data in this dataset. Default is 'GHCND' (daily summaries). limit: Maximum number of stations to return (default 25, max 1000).

Discovered
get_climate_data

Get climate observations from NOAA Climate Data Online. Returns historical weather measurements such as temperature, precipitation, and snowfall. You must provide either a station_id or a FIPS code to identify the location, and a date range. Args: station_id: NOAA station identifier (e.g. 'GHCND:USW00094728' for Central Park). fips: FIPS code for county or state (e.g. '36' for New York state, '36061' for Manhattan). dataset: Dataset ID. Common values: 'GHCND' (daily summaries), 'GSOM' (monthly), 'GSOY' (annual), 'NORMAL_DLY' (daily normals). Default is 'GHCND'. start_date: Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required for most datasets. end_date: End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required for most datasets. data_types: Comma-separated data type IDs to filter. Common types: TMAX (max temp), TMIN (min temp), TAVG (avg temp), PRCP (precipitation), SNOW (snowfall), SNWD (snow depth), AWND (avg wind speed). If omitted, all available types are returned. limit: Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 1000).

Discovered
get_climate_normals

Get 30-year climate normal values for a NOAA weather station. Climate normals are averages computed over the most recent 30-year period (currently 1991-2020). They represent typical conditions for a location and are useful for comparing current conditions to historical baselines. Args: station_id: NOAA station identifier (e.g. 'GHCND:USW00094728'). Use find_stations to look up station IDs. data_types: Comma-separated normal data type IDs to filter. Common types: DLY-TMAX-NORMAL (avg daily max temp), DLY-TMIN-NORMAL (avg daily min temp), DLY-TAVG-NORMAL (avg daily temp), DLY-PRCP-PCTALL-GE001HI (precip probability), MTD-PRCP-NORMAL (monthly precip), ANN-TMAX-NORMAL (annual max temp). If omitted, all available normals are returned.
