Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 1076 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name us-drought-monitor-mcp-server.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 7 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 1076 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1076 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

    33 of 33 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

    Updated 2026-10-26T18:19:59.24656Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 7

drought_compare_areas

Rank all supported states, or counties within an optional state, on one published map. Omit state for nationwide supported counties. With baselineDate, rank target minus exact baseline; missing sides are excluded explicitly. Equal values share competition rank. limit controls a staged preview; without analytics, complete rankings remain inline within acquisition limits.

Discovered
drought_dataframe_describe

Inspect tables and column types in a canvas_id returned by drought_get_timeseries or drought_compare_areas. Supply table_name for its complete source query, area/date/metric, units, missing-data and provenance metadata. Omit table_name for bounded schema summaries. Tokens are shareable capabilities and expire; this tool never lists other tokens.

Discovered
drought_dataframe_query

Run one DuckDB read expression against staged drought tables, optionally ending with one semicolon. Get canvas_id from drought_get_timeseries or drought_compare_areas and inspect columns with drought_dataframe_describe. For every original row, SELECT * FROM the table ORDER BY row_id and follow next_offset until null. Arbitrary SQL pagination requires your own stable ORDER BY. Exact totals require SELECT COUNT(*).

Discovered
drought_get_current_severity

Get current or dated drought severity, cumulative and categorical area percentages, area square miles, supported population counts and experimental upstream DSCI. Resolve identifiers with drought_list_reference. DSCI changes use exactly 4 and 52 weeks earlier; missing observations remain null. US selects both CONUS and Total.

Discovered
drought_get_timeseries

Get weekly drought metrics and experimental DSCI for 1–100 explicit areas sharing one geography type and HUC level. Resolve identifiers with drought_list_reference. Dates select inclusive Tuesday map weeks. Missing values remain null; summaries include every tied peak. Large results are staged when analytics is enabled; use the returned dataframe tools to read every row and retained metadata page. Without analytics, complete results remain inline within acquisition limits.

Discovered
drought_get_weeks_in_drought

Get authoritative consecutive streaks or non-consecutive week counts when any county area meets the selected drought category or worse. Supply states or one county, never both; omitted selectors mean supported nationwide counties. Counts are duration statistics, not program eligibility. Follow nextCursor with unchanged filters within five minutes.

Discovered
drought_list_reference

Look up drought categories, DSCI formulas, metric support, publication coverage and exact geography identifiers. Filter complete families by nameContains before paging. Use state for counties or climate_divisions; huc requires hucLevel 2, 4, 6 or 8 and accepts a shorter parentHuc. Follow nextCursor with the same filters to browse every match.
