What is the Storm Glass Marine & Weather MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with high-resolution global weather and marine intelligence through the Storm Glass MCP server. This integration provides real-time and forecast data from the world's leading meteorological institutions (NOAA, MET Office, DWD, and more). Your agent can retrieve precise marine weather (wave height, swell, water temp), tide extremes, astronomical data (sun/moon), and oceanic bio data (chlorophyll, iron levels). Whether you are planning offshore operations, maritime shipping, or researching environmental trends, your agent acts as a dedicated oceanographer and meteorologist through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Marine Point Forecasts — Retrieve detailed wave and water data for any coordinate on Earth.
- Tide Intelligence — Fetch high and low tide times and heights for coastal planning.
- Astronomical Insights — Access sunrise, sunset, moon phases, and moonrise data.
- Oceanic Bio Data — Monitor chlorophyll and nutrient levels for environmental studies.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Storm Glass API Key (get it at stormglass.io)
- Start querying global marine data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Maritime & Logistics Teams — optimize routes and safety based on real-time wave and tide data.
- Environmental Researchers — track oceanic bio-markers and climate trends over time.
- Offshore Engineers — verify conditions for construction and maintenance operations.
- Water Sports Enthusiasts — check swell and tide data for coastal activities.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea?
Yes! Use the get_marine_weather tool and provide the latitude and longitude for the specific point in the Mediterranean. It will return the latest water temperature along with other marine data.
How can I check the tide schedule for a coastal city?
Use the get_tide_extremes tool with the coordinates of the target city. The response will provide the timestamps and heights for the next few high and low tide events.
Does this server provide sunrise and sunset times?
Yes. The get_astronomy_data tool retrieves sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times, as well as the current moon phase for any given location.
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.
