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_datasetsandlist_datacategories. - Location Discovery — Find specific geopolitical entities, cities, or zip codes using
list_locationsandlist_locationcategoriesto narrow your search. - Station Metadata — Identify weather observing platforms and stations worldwide with
list_stationsto 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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Request a free API Token from the NOAA NCEI portal
- Start querying historical weather data directly from your AI client
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Researchers — quickly locate and verify available climate datasets without manual API exploration
- Environmental Consultants — retrieve station metadata and location-specific weather history for impact reports
- Developers — integrate reliable, government-backed climate data into applications using natural language queries
Built-in capabilities (10)
Annual/Monthly data limited to 10-year range; other data limited to 1-year range. Fetch actual observations and ancillary attributes

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.
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.
