Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Us Drought Monitor MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
drought
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, never discards comparable rows.
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.
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(*).
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.
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. Complete large results are staged; use the returned dataframe tools to read every row.
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.
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.

Us Drought Monitor MCP Server — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Us Drought Monitor MCP Server do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: drought_compare_areas, drought_dataframe_describe, drought_dataframe_query, drought_get_current_severity, drought_get_timeseries, drought_get_weeks_in_drought and 1 more. 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 Us Drought Monitor MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 613 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Us Drought Monitor MCP Server?
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 Us Drought Monitor MCP Server need an API key?
No. Us Drought Monitor MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Us Drought Monitor MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 613 ms on average, which is faster than 20% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Us Drought Monitor MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/us-drought-monitor-mcp-server was installed 22 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Us Drought Monitor MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at us-drought-monitor.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
