Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 14

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

air
get_air_quality
Current U.S. Air Quality Index for the Houston metro area (the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria reporting area, which includes Crosby, TX). Measured by EPA/AirNow monitors when available (measured:true), with an Open-Meteo modeled fallback (measured:false). Regional, not a Crosby-pinpoint reading.
alerts
get_alerts
Active NWS weather alerts for Crosby, TX. Returns an empty list when none are active.
burn
get_burn_ban
Current outdoor-burning ban status for Harris County, TX (which includes Crosby) from the Texas A&M Forest Service. Countywide only — TFS has no sub-county resolution, so this is never a Crosby-specific status.
crosby
get_crosby_news
Recent local news headlines for Crosby, TX and nearby northeast Harris County communities, aggregated from public sources and filtered for relevance. Empty when nothing recent.
current
get_current_conditions
Current weather for Crosby, TX: temperature, feels-like, sky, precip chance, humidity, dew point, UV index, measured air quality (EPA/AirNow, Houston metro area), and sunrise/sunset.
emergency
get_emergency_contacts
Emergency resource directory for Crosby, TX (unincorporated Harris County): 911 guidance, sheriff non-emergency, power-outage and gas-leak reporting, the CAER industrial-incident line, flood and road tools, shelters, and disaster assistance. Static verified directory — in a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
fishing
get_fishing
Live water conditions for the waters people fish near Crosby, TX — Lake Houston, the San Jacinto River forks, the Trinity River, and nearby bayous — from USGS real-time monitoring. Full stations report temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity; some fished bayous report water level only. A nearby-station reading, not the exact fishing spot, and conditions rather than a guaranteed bite.
forecast
get_forecast
Forecast for Crosby, TX from the U.S. National Weather Service. Returns the 7-day day/night forecast, or upcoming hourly periods if `hours` is given (up to 48 — through about two days out).
pollen
get_pollen
The Houston Health Department's measured daily pollen and mold count (National Allergy Bureau scale) — tree, weed, and grass pollen plus mold spores, with the species actually counted. A real measurement, not a model; counts publish weekday mornings and apply regionally to Crosby, TX.
radar
get_radar
Latest NWS KHGX (Houston/Galveston) radar still image covering Crosby, TX, returned inline as a GIF. For the animated loop, see https://crosbynews.com/radar.
river
get_river_levels
Current water levels and NWS flood stages for the rivers and bayous that flood Crosby, TX and northeast Harris County (Cedar Bayou, San Jacinto River, Luce Bayou, and more). Each gauge reports its stage, flow, flood category, and thresholds.
school
get_school_events
Upcoming Crosby ISD school-calendar events: first/last day of school, holidays, no-school and early-release days, testing windows, and campus activities.
traffic
get_traffic
Live traffic incidents and scheduled lane closures on the roads Crosby, TX drives — US-90, FM-2100, FM-1942, and the Crosby stretch of IH-10 East — from Houston TranStar, plus links to the corridor traffic cameras. High-water road reports appear here during floods. Empty lists mean quiet roads.
tropical
get_tropical_outlook
Active Atlantic tropical cyclones from the NOAA National Hurricane Center, AND the areas it is watching for development that do not have names yet, with their formation chances. Covers hurricane season (June–November) for Crosby, TX. Returns an explicit all-clear only when there are neither — a quiet CurrentStorms list does not by itself mean a quiet basin.
