Available tools 3

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

climate
get_climate_data
Get climate observations from NOAA Climate Data Online. Returns historical weather measurements such as temperature, precipitation, and snowfall. You must provide either a station_id or a FIPS code to identify the location, and a date range. Args: station_id: NOAA station identifier (e.g. 'GHCND:USW00094728' for Central Park). fips: FIPS code for county or state (e.g. '36' for New York state, '36061' for Manhattan). dataset: Dataset ID. Common values: 'GHCND' (daily summaries), 'GSOM' (monthly), 'GSOY' (annual), 'NORMAL_DLY' (daily normals). Default is 'GHCND'. start_date: Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required for most datasets. end_date: End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required for most datasets. data_types: Comma-separated data type IDs to filter. Common types: TMAX (max temp), TMIN (min temp), TAVG (avg temp), PRCP (precipitation), SNOW (snowfall), SNWD (snow depth), AWND (avg wind speed). If omitted, all available types are returned. limit: Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 1000).
get_climate_normals
Get 30-year climate normal values for a NOAA weather station. Climate normals are averages computed over the most recent 30-year period (currently 1991-2020). They represent typical conditions for a location and are useful for comparing current conditions to historical baselines. Args: station_id: NOAA station identifier (e.g. 'GHCND:USW00094728'). Use find_stations to look up station IDs. data_types: Comma-separated normal data type IDs to filter. Common types: DLY-TMAX-NORMAL (avg daily max temp), DLY-TMIN-NORMAL (avg daily min temp), DLY-TAVG-NORMAL (avg daily temp), DLY-PRCP-PCTALL-GE001HI (precip probability), MTD-PRCP-NORMAL (monthly precip), ANN-TMAX-NORMAL (annual max temp). If omitted, all available normals are returned.
stations
find_stations
Find NOAA weather stations in an area. Returns a list of weather stations with their IDs, names, coordinates, and active date ranges. Use the station IDs with get_climate_data. Args: state: Two-letter US state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'NY'). county_fips: Five-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '36061' for Manhattan). dataset: Dataset ID to filter stations that have data in this dataset. Default is 'GHCND' (daily summaries). limit: Maximum number of stations to return (default 25, max 1000).

NOAA Climate Data — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NOAA Climate Data do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_stations, get_climate_data, get_climate_normals. 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 NOAA Climate Data 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 533 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect NOAA Climate Data?
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 NOAA Climate Data need an API key?
No. NOAA Climate Data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is NOAA Climate Data?
It answers our handshake in 533 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.
