What is the NCEI Climate Data Online (NOAA Archive) MCP Server?

Connect your AI agent to the NCEI Climate Data Online archive and explore decades of global environmental records through natural language.

What you can do

Datasets & Categories — Browse primary data groupings like Daily Summaries (GHCND) or Global Summary of the Month (GSOM) using list_datasets and list_datacategories.
Location Discovery — Find specific geopolitical entities, cities, or zip codes using list_locations and list_locationcategories to narrow your search.
Station Metadata — Identify weather observing platforms and stations worldwide with list_stations to find the exact source of climate records.
Data Type Inspection — Query specific climate variables such as precipitation (PRCP), average temperature (TAVG), or snow depth using list_datatypes.
Historical Analysis — Retrieve precise climate observations for specific timeframes and locations to power research or environmental reporting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the specific ID for a weather station in a certain city?

You can use the list_stations tool and provide a locationid. To find the correct location ID first, use the list_locations tool to search by city or state name.

What is the difference between a Data Category and a Data Type?

Data Categories (retrieved via list_datacategories) are broad groups like 'Temperature' or 'Precipitation'. Data Types (retrieved via list_datatypes) are specific codes like 'TMAX' (Maximum temperature) or 'PRCP' (Precipitation amount).

Can I see what datasets are available for a specific date range?

Yes, the list_datasets tool accepts startdate and enddate parameters. This allows you to filter the archive for datasets that have coverage during your period of interest.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
