What is the NOAA MCP Server?
The NOAA MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to NOAA via 6 tools. US coastal oceanographic data: real-time water levels (tides), tide predictions, ocean currents, water temperature, coastal meteorological conditions, and multi-decade sea level rise trends from NOAA CO-OPS stations. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (6)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate NOAA
Ask your AI agent "What are the tide predictions for today at The Battery, NYC?" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 6 tools connected to real NOAA data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.
