What is the NCDC Climate Data Online MCP Server?
Connect to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) API through your AI agent and explore a vast archive of authoritative historical weather and climate data using natural conversation.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — List and inspect available climate datasets like GHCND (Daily Summaries) and GSOD (Global Summary of the Day).
- Climate Records — Fetch actual data records for specific locations and date ranges, including temperature and precipitation.
- Station Lookup — Locate weather stations globally and retrieve their complete metadata and coverage info.
- Location Intelligence — Browse location categories and specific IDs (Cities, Countries, States) to filter your data queries.
- Categorical Analysis — List high-level data categories and specific types (Max Temp, Snowfall) available in the system.
- Temporal Flexibility — Access data classes ranging from hourly to monthly summaries.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your NCDC (NOAA) API Token (get one for free at ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/token)
- Start exploring historical climate data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Scientists — quickly retrieve historical weather data for climate modeling or environmental studies.
- Data Analysts — automate the gathering of weather trends for agricultural, energy, or insurance reporting.
- Educators — access authoritative public data for classroom projects and climate education.

Frequently asked questions
Is the NCDC API Token free?
Yes! You can request a free API token by providing your email address at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/token.
What is the GHCND dataset?
GHCND stands for Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily. It is one of the most popular datasets, providing daily climate summaries (temperature, precipitation, etc.) from stations around the world.
How far back does the data go?
NCDC archives contain data dating back to the 18th century for some locations, though the availability varies significantly by station and dataset.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
