# Storm Glass Marine & Weather MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Storm Glass Marine & Weather provides your AI agent with high-resolution global weather and marine intelligence. It pulls real-time and forecast data from major meteorological institutions like NOAA and the MET Office. You get precise information on wave height, swell, water temperature, tide extremes, and astronomical data like sun and moon phases. It's the go-to for anyone needing reliable oceanographic data for maritime planning or environmental research. ## Overview - **Category:** data-analytics - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_qmfKShmcA0LrJkJsAAld34BJZKtZ3aVELK9mW9sI/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** marine-weather, tide-data, oceanic-forecasting, meteorological-data, real-time-weather, astronomical-data ## Description This marine weather MCP connects your AI to the Storm Glass ecosystem, turning it into a dedicated oceanographer. Imagine you're trying to coordinate a complex offshore operation or plan a shipping route. You need to know exactly what the water looks like in three days, but instead of digging through multiple government websites and cross-referencing tide charts, you just ask your agent. You can ask about wave heights at a specific coordinate, check if the tide is high enough for a certain dock, or even look up chlorophyll levels for a marine biology study. It handles the heavy lifting of pulling data from sources like the MET Office and DWD so you don't have to. Because Vinkius makes connecting these tools so simple, you can move from a vague idea to a data-backed plan in seconds. It's about getting the right numbers for offshore engineering, maritime logistics, or just checking the swell before heading out on a boat. You get access to high-resolution forecasts that factor in swell direction and water temperature, giving you a clear picture of the environment before you ever leave the shore. It's the difference between guessing and having a solid data point for every move you make on the water. You can also pull astronomical data to ensure your navigation plans account for moon phases and sunrise times. It bridges the gap between raw meteorological data and actionable insights for your specific maritime needs. ## Tools ### get_marine_weather Get marine weather for a specific coordinate. This provides wave height, water temperature, and swell direction. ### get_astronomy_data Get sun and moon data for a specific location. This helps with navigation and planning. ### get_tide_extremes Get tide extremes for a location. Use this to find high and low tide times for coastal operations. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What are the wave conditions like near the coast of Portugal right now? ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the marine weather for the Portuguese coast. Currently, the wave height is 2.4 meters with a North-East swell. The water temperature is 18°C. Would you like to see the forecast for the next 24 hours? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Can you check the high tide times for the Port of Rotterdam today? ``` **Response:** ``` Here are the tide extremes for the Port of Rotterdam for today: * **High Tide:** 08:15 (4.2m) * **Low Tide:** 14:30 (0.8m) Would you like the full tide schedule for the rest of the week? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the moon phase and sunrise time for the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow? ``` **Response:** ``` For the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow: * **Sunrise:** 06:12 * **Moon Phase:** Waxing Gibbous (72% illumination) Let me know if you need more astronomical data for your trip. ``` ## Capabilities ### Get wave height and water temperature for any coordinate Use get_marine_weather to pull real-time swell data and water temperatures for any location on Earth. ### Fetch high and low tide times for coastal planning Use get_tide_extremes to get precise tide schedules for docks and coastal operations. ### Retrieve sun and moon data for maritime navigation Use get_astronomy_data to pull sunrise, sunset, and moon phase information for trip planning. ### Check chlorophyll and nutrient levels for environmental research Access oceanic bio-data to monitor nutrient levels and chlorophyll concentrations in different regions. ### Access real-time marine weather forecasts from global institutions Get high-resolution forecasts from major meteorological bodies like NOAA and the MET Office. ## Use Cases ### Ship Route Optimization A logistics manager asks the agent to find the safest route based on current wave heights and swell directions. ### Coastal Construction An engineer checks the tide extremes for a specific pier to ensure the work window is clear of high water. ### Marine Research A scientist monitors chlorophyll levels over a month to track seasonal changes in oceanic bio-markers. ### Water Sports Planning A surfer asks for the best swell conditions and water temperature for a specific beach on the weekend. ## Benefits - Stop manual data entry. Use get_marine_weather to pull wave heights and water temperatures instantly instead of searching through multiple weather sites. - Improve maritime safety. Use get_tide_extremes to get precise high and low tide windows for dock arrivals and coastal operations. - Plan with precision. Use get_astronomy_data to get exact sunrise, sunset, and moon phase info for night navigation or coastal trips. - Track environmental health. Use the oceanic bio-data features to monitor chlorophyll and nutrient levels for research projects. - Access global data. Get high-resolution forecasts from the MET Office, NOAA, and DWD through a single unified connection. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get professional-grade marine intelligence delivered through a natural conversation with your AI. 1. Subscribe to the Connector and grab your API key from stormglass.io. 2. Plug that key into your Vinkius dashboard to link the service. 3. Ask your agent for specific marine weather or tide data. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can Storm Glass Marine & Weather give me wave heights for specific coordinates?** Yes, it provides real-time wave height, swell direction, and water temperature for any location on Earth. **Does Storm Glass Marine & Weather include tide information?** Yes, it fetches high and low tide times and heights for coastal planning. **Can I use Storm Glass Marine & Weather for marine biology research?** Yes, it provides oceanic bio-data like chlorophyll and iron levels to help track environmental trends. **What weather sources does Storm Glass Marine & Weather use?** It pulls data from major global institutions, including NOAA, the MET Office, and DWD. **Can I get sun and moon data with Storm Glass Marine & Weather?** Yes, it provides sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moon phase data for navigation and planning. **Is Storm Glass Marine & Weather good for offshore engineering?** It's perfect for verifying water temperature and wave conditions before starting offshore construction or maintenance. **Can I get the water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea?** Yes!
