SmogRank missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

city
city_air
PM2.5 now in a city: the latest hourly value, its 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day and year-to-date averages with its rank among all measured cities, the US EPA category, how it compares with the WHO guideline, and the "why it ranks here" notes (patterns in its own history and nearby fire, smoke and volcano evidence, named as likely causes, never confirmed), and the local hours its air was usually worst and cleanest over the last 30 days. Each measured city's trust says what stands behind it: checked (reference monitors at 2+ sites), one (a single reference site) or low (3+ low-cost sensors). Cities without a monitor get a model estimate, labelled as one, plus few_sensors when one or two low-cost sensors measure there (not ranked). No forecasts.
city_history
A measured city's daily mean PM2.5 (its local calendar days, µg/m³) and its daily rank, between two dates (up to 400 days; default the last 30), with monthly means.
find_city
Search SmogRank's cities by name, or find the nearest ones to a point. Returns each city's path for the other tools, whether it is measured by ground monitors (ranked) or only estimated from a model, and its page.
rankings
rankings
The ranking of measured cities by average PM2.5, worst first: a rolling window (24h, 7d, 30d, year to date) or a past period (a day 2026-09-30, a week 2026-W40, a month 2026-09, a year 2025). Optionally one country.

SmogRank — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SmogRank do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: city_air, city_history, find_city, rankings. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is SmogRank working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 166 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect SmogRank?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does SmogRank need an API key?
No. SmogRank completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SmogRank?
It answers our handshake in 166 ms on average, which is faster than 79% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
