Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 662 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name nasa-power-mcp-server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 8 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 662 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 662 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.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    23 of 23 parameters have a description (100%). 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
    Recently updated

Capabilities

Tools 8

nasa_power_compare_locations

Compare 2–10 labeled coordinates with a shared parameter selection and window; climatology is the default resolution. Duplicate labels retain separate input-position identities. Returns per-site provenance and valid-only annual/seasonal summaries; operational site failures preserve successes. Optional numeric sort uses observation means, monthly annual records or climatology ANN, with nulls last and stable ties; differing or unknown units cannot sort. Oversized observations and summaries stage completely; summaryDatasets handles and summaryIndex preserve complete ordered summary arrays.

Discovered
nasa_power_dataframe_describe

Inspect table schemas, physical units and original scientific provenance within a canvas_id returned by a producing POWER tool. Tokens are process-local capabilities; only the supplied canvas is inspected.

Discovered
nasa_power_dataframe_query

Run one read-only SELECT over tables in an explicitly supplied canvas_id. Inspect names and units with nasa_power_dataframe_describe. External files, imports, writes and system catalogs are refused. Returns at most 1,000 rows and 40,000 JSON characters; truncated rowCount counts only materialized rows.

Discovered
nasa_power_get_climatology

Retrieve complete monthly and annual climatology at latitude/longitude. Optionally supply both startYear and endYear; omitted years use the source product range. Use nasa_power_list_reference for presets and tilted solar aliases. Small profiles remain inline; larger profiles return a complete table handle and bounded preview, preserving orientation text. Oversized summaries stage as summaryDataset with exact summaryCount, queried in summaryIndex order. Supply canvas_id to reuse a returned workspace.

Discovered
nasa_power_get_region

Retrieve one parameter over ordered latitude/longitude bounds spanning 2–10 degrees per axis, at daily, monthly or climatology resolution. Regional climatology uses the precomputed source period and accepts no year fields; use nasa_power_get_climatology for custom years at a point. Split antimeridian regions into separate calls. Returns cell identities and separate per-period equal-weight cell statistics, not area-weighted estimates. Oversized observations and summaries stage completely with previews, exact counts and SQL handles; query summaryDataset in summaryIndex order.

Discovered
nasa_power_get_timeseries

Retrieve complete hourly, daily or monthly observations at latitude/longitude. Hourly and daily require startDate/endDate; monthly requires startYear/endYear. Use nasa_power_search_parameters for codes and nasa_power_list_reference for presets. Large results return a full-table canvas handle and preview; oversized summaries stage as summaryDataset with exact summaryCount, queried in summaryIndex order.

Discovered
nasa_power_list_reference

Explain exact presets, communities and units, source coverage, missing values, wind corrections or current dataframe availability. Choose topic presets before a producing call, or coverage when revising a date window. Reference entries include public documentation and verification dates.

Discovered
nasa_power_search_parameters

Find parameter codes supported by a community and temporalResolution. Every whitespace-separated filter token must match code, name or definition, ignoring case. Filtering covers the complete dictionary before sorted pagination. Codes NASA lists but does not serve at that resolution are left out, and a notice names any the filter matched. Blank filter browses all codes; pass returned codes to a producing tool.
