What is the QWeather Ocean/Tide API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and oceanographic auditing workflow with the QWeather Ocean/Tide API, the specialized source for global tide data. By connecting QWeather's ocean intelligence to your agent, you transform complex water level searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time tide tables, audit high and low water peaks, and query specific location metadata without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are planning coastal logistics or conducting marine research, your agent acts as a real-time oceanographic consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Tide Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution tide tables for global locations and maintain a clear view of water level changes.
- Peak Oversight — Audit high and low water times and heights to understand the temporal distribution of maritime scale instantly.
- Geographic Discovery — Query tide data by location ID or coordinates to maintain strict organizational control over regional data.
- Ocean Intelligence — Retrieve detailed oceanographic metadata to assist in deep-dive coastal classification.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your QWeather API Key
- Start managing your oceanographic intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Mariners & Harbor Masters — monitor tide levels and retrieve water metadata straight from your workflow.
- Marine Researchers — verify tide patterns and audit oceanographic markers without manual searching.
- Coastal Planners — perform rapid audits of water peaks and identify relevant maritime markers through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate oceanographic data querying to orchestrate cross-functional maritime teams smoothly.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, QWeather Ocean/Tide API becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call QWeather Ocean/Tide API tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my QWeather API Key?
Log in to your QWeather Developer portal, create a project, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.
Does it support coordinate search?
Yes. You can provide location coordinates (lat,lon) to the get_ocean_tide_data tool to retrieve precise regional tide metadata.
What data format is returned for tide tables?
The API returns detailed hourly or daily tide tables, including timestamped water height and peak type metadata.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
