Built-in capabilities (5)
This is the statistical baseline that defines "normal" weather for any location. Get 30-year climate normals — the baseline for what is "normal" weather
This is the planet's largest archive of daily weather records. Filter by station, data types (TMAX, TMIN, PRCP, SNOW, SNWD), and date range. Stations are worldwide but densest coverage is in the US. Get daily weather data (GHCN-Daily): temperatures, precipitation, snow
Monthly aggregates of temperature averages, precipitation totals, and degree days. Less granular than daily but ideal for climate trend analysis. Get monthly climate summary (GSOM): average temp, total precipitation, heating degree days

Frequently asked questions
How far back does the data go?
GHCN-Daily records go back to the 1700s for some stations, with widespread coverage since the 1890s. Over 100,000 stations worldwide, with the densest network in the United States.
What is the difference between GHCN-D, GSOM, and GSOY?
GHCN-Daily provides day-by-day records. GSOM (Global Summary of the Month) aggregates these into monthly averages and totals. GSOY (Global Summary of the Year) provides annual summaries.
Are observations available for international locations?
Yes, while NOAA is a US agency, the GHCN incorporates data from over 100,000 stations worldwide, though the highest density remains in North America, Europe, and Australia.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
