What is the Noaa MCP Server?

NOAA tides and currents: water levels, tide predictions, currents, met data, flooding, sun and moon

The short version

Water levels · tide predictions · currents · marine weather · station metadata · tidal datums · harmonic constituents · sea level trends & projections · high tide flooding · sun & moon calculations

ToolWhat it does
noaa_get_water_levelsObserved water levels: 1-minute, 6-minute, or hourly series, preliminary/verified quality flags decoded
noaa_get_water_level_summarieshigh_low (HH/H/L/LL daily extremes), daily_mean (Great Lakes), daily_max_min, monthly_mean datum tables
noaa_get_tide_predictionsHarmonic tide predictions — hilo high/low events (up to 10 years) or interval series
noaa_get_currentsObserved current speed/direction by depth bin (ADCP), optional beam diagnostics
noaa_get_current_predictionsPredicted currents — max_slack flood/ebb/slack events or interval series
noaa_get_meteorological_dataWind, air/water temperature, pressure, air gap (bridge clearance), conductivity, visibility, humidity, salinity
noaa_search_stationsSearch the station directory by capability type, name substring, state — paginated
noaa_find_nearest_stationsNearest stations to any lat/lon (great-circle, cached directory), filterable by type
noaa_get_station_infoFull station record with expandable sensors, flood levels, benchmarks, bins, deployments...
noaa_get_station_datumsTidal datum elevations (MLLW, MSL, MHHW, NAVD88...), HAT/LAT, historic extremes, current or superseded epoch
noaa_get_harmonic_constituentsThe M2/S2/K1/... constituents behind a station's predictions (water level or current ellipse form)
noaa_get_prediction_offsetsSubordinate-station time/height offsets from their reference stations (tide or current)
noaa_get_sea_level_trendsLong-term relative sea level trend with error bars and observation period
noaa_get_sea_level_rise_projections2022 Interagency SLR scenario projections per decade through 2150
