Pegel missed one check 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 6

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

flood

get_flood_situation

Current flood situation: stations with an active LHP flood class (1 small … 4 very large), optionally per federal state.

forecast

get_forecast

Newest published water-level forecast for a station: the median of the state agency model run, future points within the horizon. Only gauges whose state publishes numeric forecasts have one, so an empty result is normal. Indicative, not an official warning.

readings

get_readings

Time series for a station (downsampled to ≤200 points; history depth on this tier: last 90 days, default last 7 days). type "level" (default) → level series as stored valueCentimeters: centimetres above gauge zero for most gauges, but an elevation ×100 for groundwater wells and for gauges reporting an absolute elevation (Swiss gauges, the Neusiedler See) — divide by valueDivisor to read it in unit. type "discharge" → discharge Q in m³/s where the station provides it.

station

get_station

Master data of one station: measurement type, current value with its unit, thresholds (MNW/MHW, alert marks, as stored valueCentimeters), flood class, coordinates.

stations

search_stations

Search stations in Germany and its neighbouring countries — river gauges, groundwater wells, reservoirs, coastal gauges — by name or water body, optionally filtered by region (a German federal state or a country code). latestValue is given in the station's unit.

weather

get_weather

Daily weather forecast at the station coordinate (DWD data via Bright Sky).

Pegel — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Pegel do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_flood_situation, get_forecast, get_readings, get_station, get_weather, search_stations. 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 Pegel 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 69 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Pegel?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Pegel need an API key?

No. Pegel completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Pegel?

It answers our handshake in 69 ms on average, which is faster than 86% 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.
