NOAA NDBC MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for NOAA NDBC MCP Server?
NOAA NDBC MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package ndbc-mcp was installed 92 times last week.
How do I connect NOAA NDBC 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 runs locally, so the command pulls ndbc-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use NOAA NDBC MCP Server?
The pypi package ndbc-mcp was installed 92 times in the last week. Week over week that is -31%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is NOAA NDBC MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 10 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
