What is the Baseline MCP Server?

Statistically rigorous weather and climate context: forecast plus 35-year historical ranking.

What it actually does

MCP server exposing Baseline as agent tools — statistically rigorous weather and climate context, not just current conditions. Thin translation layer only: no climate logic lives here, every tool call is an HTTP request to the Baseline API. See baseline_mcp_server_plan.md in the Baseline project for the full design, and METHODOLOGY.md for how the underlying data and rankings are computed.
