What is the Storm Glass Marine & Weather MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with high-resolution global weather and marine intelligence through the Storm Glass MCP server. This integration provides real-time and forecast data from the world's leading meteorological institutions (NOAA, MET Office, DWD, and more). Your agent can retrieve precise marine weather (wave height, swell, water temp), tide extremes, astronomical data (sun/moon), and oceanic bio data (chlorophyll, iron levels). Whether you are planning offshore operations, maritime shipping, or researching environmental trends, your agent acts as a dedicated oceanographer and meteorologist through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Marine Point Forecasts — Retrieve detailed wave and water data for any coordinate on Earth.
- Tide Intelligence — Fetch high and low tide times and heights for coastal planning.
- Astronomical Insights — Access sunrise, sunset, moon phases, and moonrise data.
- Oceanic Bio Data — Monitor chlorophyll and nutrient levels for environmental studies.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Storm Glass API Key (get it at stormglass.io)
- Start querying global marine data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Maritime & Logistics Teams — optimize routes and safety based on real-time wave and tide data.
- Environmental Researchers — track oceanic bio-markers and climate trends over time.
- Offshore Engineers — verify conditions for construction and maintenance operations.
- Water Sports Enthusiasts — check swell and tide data for coastal activities.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Storm Glass Marine & Weather data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 3 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea?
Yes! Use the get_marine_weather tool and provide the latitude and longitude for the specific point in the Mediterranean. It will return the latest water temperature along with other marine data.
How can I check the tide schedule for a coastal city?
Use the get_tide_extremes tool with the coordinates of the target city. The response will provide the timestamps and heights for the next few high and low tide events.
Does this server provide sunrise and sunset times?
Yes. The get_astronomy_data tool retrieves sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times, as well as the current moon phase for any given location.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
