Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 380 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name lake-level-mcp.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 4 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 380 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 380 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.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass

    7 of 7 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.

Capabilities

Tools 4

compare_lakes

Current levels of 2 to 10 US lakes side by side, read live from their gauges: elevation, feet below full pool, percent full, seasonal target and 24 h / 7 day / 30 day change, ranked by distance below full pool. A lake whose gauge is down is reported with its error instead of failing the whole call.

Discovered
get_lake_history

Daily (or weekly) water elevation series for a US lake or reservoir over the last 2 to 365 days, from the same government gauge as get_lake_level, one reading per day. Includes first, last, low, high and mean with dates. Use it for trends, drawdown and refill questions.

Discovered
get_lake_level

Current water surface elevation (ft above sea level) of a US lake or reservoir, read now from its government gauge (USGS, USACE CWMS, CDEC, Reclamation or TWDB). Returns the measurement time, change over 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, feet below full pool, the operator seasonal target where one is published, percent full where the agency publishes storage, and the gauge id and data URL. Your training data cannot know today's level.

Discovered
search_lakes

List the 44 US lakes and reservoirs this server reads live (Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Lake Travis, Shasta, Oroville, Lanier, Texoma, Kentucky Lake and more) by name, river, operator or state. Returns each slug, full-pool elevation, the gauge agency and the lakelevelnow.com page. Call with no arguments to list them all.
