Frequently asked questions
How can I check the UV Index for a specific location?
Use the uv_hourly_zip or uv_hourly_city_state tools. Simply provide a 5-digit US ZIP code or the city name and 2-letter state abbreviation to receive the latest hourly forecast data.
Can I search for specific facilities in the EPA database?
Yes! Use the rest_query tool. You can specify tables like 'tri.tri_facility' or 'sems.envirofacts_site' and apply filters using operators like 'equals' or 'contains' to find specific sites and their environmental records.
Does this server support complex data aggregations?
Absolutely. The graphql_query tool allows you to execute custom GraphQL strings to perform advanced data fetching, aggregations, and subqueries across the EPA's DMAP API infrastructure.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
