What is the NOAA Tides & Currents API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and tidal auditing workflow with the NOAA Tides & Currents API, the authoritative source for United States coastal data. By connecting NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) to your agent, you transform complex water level searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time water levels, audit high and low tide predictions, and query atmospheric metadata without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are planning maritime logistics or conducting coastal research, your agent acts as a real-time oceanographic consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Water Level Auditing — Retrieve real-time water level data for thousands of NOAA stations and maintain a clear view of coastal changes.
- Tide Oversight — Audit high and low tide predictions to understand the temporal distribution of maritime scale instantly.
- Atmospheric Discovery — Query real-time air and water temperature metadata to assist in regional environmental planning.
- Station Intelligence — Retrieve high-resolution details for specific NOAA station IDs to assist in deep-dive oceanographic classification.
- Maritime Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- No API Key required (NOAA CO-OPS is a free and open service)
- Start managing your maritime intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Mariners & Harbor Masters — monitor water levels and retrieve tidal metadata straight from your workflow.
- Coastal Researchers — verify tide patterns and audit environmental markers without manual searching.
- Logistics Planners — perform rapid audits of port conditions and identify relevant maritime markers through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate oceanographic data querying to orchestrate cross-functional maritime teams smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key required for NOAA Tides API?
No. The NOAA CO-OPS API is a free and open service provided by the United States government. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.
Can the agent show air temperature at stations?
Yes. Use the get_air_temperature tool providing a station ID. Your agent will return real-time temperature metadata alongside the timestamp.
What data datum is used for predictions?
This server uses the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) datum for all water level and tide prediction requests to maintain consistency with nautical charts.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
