Analyze historical weather in Claude Desktop

Use `get_daily_data` to pull precise temperature and precipitation logs for any station. You get the raw numbers without needing to hunt through government databases manually. This MCP Server connects your local environment to the NCEI archive. You’ll spend less time digging for CSVs and more time evaluating the actual trends that matter for your project.

Benchmark trends with 30-year climate normals

Call `get_climate_normals` to establish a baseline for any region. It’s the standard way to verify if a current weather event is an anomaly or just business as usual. Compare your findings against `get_monthly_summary` data to see how local environments shift over time. Claude Desktop handles the tool execution, giving you the facts immediately.

Search and filter stations locally

Run `search_stations` to narrow down the exact geographic source of your data. Don't waste time on irrelevant records when you can pinpoint the closest weather station by keyword or coordinates. Once you’ve locked onto a station, pass the ID to `get_yearly_summary` for long-term perspective. It’s the fastest way to verify data integrity before you start your analysis.
