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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
