Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 53 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name river-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 53 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 53 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

    10 of 10 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

find_river_gauges

Search USGS stream gauges nationwide by river and place name (for example "mississippi st louis", "potomac little falls"), by state, or within a radius of a latitude and longitude. Returns site numbers with whether each is reporting now and its latest stage and flow, active gauges first.

Discovered
get_flood_forecast

The current NOAA National Water Prediction Service river forecast for a gauge: the forecast stage and flow series, the forecast crest with its flood category, the latest observation, flood stages and the record crest. Works for NWS forecast points (accepts the NWS id or the USGS site number). Forecasts are reissued several times a day.

Discovered
get_river_history

Daily mean streamflow (default) or stage for a USGS gauge over the last 2 to 366 days, with first, last, low, high, mean and change. Use it for trend, drought and "is the river rising" questions. Many gauges publish daily means for discharge only.

Discovered
get_river_level

Current river stage (gage height in feet), streamflow (discharge in cubic feet per second) and water temperature where measured, read now from a USGS stream gauge (readings every 5 to 60 minutes). Adds the NWS flood stages (action, minor, moderate, major), the current flood category, feet below flood stage and the record crest when the gauge is an NWS forecast point. Flags readings over 48 hours old. Your training data cannot know today's river level.
