Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 833 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name EPW.tools.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 9 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 781 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 828 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

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

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 9

analyze_epw

Summary statistics of any public EPW by URL (OneBuilding, EnergyPlus, a shared file): location header, dry-bulb mean/min/max, annual global horizontal irradiation, data range warnings. Free, no key. 10 MB max.

Discovered
generate_epw

Start an actual-year (AMY) EPW + DDY + STAT for any point, 1990 to last year. 1 credit; +2 with urban_street_level (53 US cities: hourly street-level air temperature from citizen stations). Returns a job_id; poll with get_job_result.

Discovered
generate_forecast

Start a forecast EPW for the next 1-15 days (operational sims, MPC, demand response). Up to 7 days free.

Discovered
generate_future_climate

Start a CMIP6-morphed future EPW (Belcher 2005). scenario: ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, ssp585; horizon: any decade 2030-2100; model from list_cmip6_models. 3 credits.

Discovered
generate_tmy

Start a typical meteorological year from a chosen period (at least 5 years; 10-20 is usual). 1 credit.

Discovered
get_design_conditions

Heating and cooling design conditions for any site, free, in one of two modes that are never mixed. mode="ashrae_method": the ASHRAE Handbook Ch. 14 method replicated at the nearest ASHRAE station for the chosen edition (2025, 2021, 2017, 2013, 2009, 2005); validated about 0.25 degC from the published tables. mode="enhanced": EPW.tools Enhanced, not the ASHRAE method: values at the site itself for today's climate with a tested 90 % range. The DDY file for Enhanced costs 1 credit through the web or the API.

Discovered
get_job_result

Status of a job started by a generate_* tool; when complete, the download URLs. The links are valid for a short time (see downloads_note); call this tool again for fresh ones.

Discovered
get_nearest_stations

Nearest weather stations to a point (name, WMO id, distance, years of record). Free, no key.

Discovered
list_cmip6_models

The models available for future-climate morphing: `models` are global CMIP6 models (NASA NEX-GDDP, 25 km); `regional` are EURO-CORDEX pairs (12.5 km, Europe only, 27-72 N / 25 W-45 E) usable as `model` ids. Free.
