NOAA CO OPS MCP Server
Pull NOAA CO-OPS tides, water levels, currents, and meteorological observations into agent-driven scripts and coastal apps without hand-building REST clients.
Overview
io.github.mansurjisan/coops-mcp is a Build-phase MCP server that retrieves NOAA CO-OPS tides, water levels, currents, and meteorological data for agent-assisted coastal development.
What is this MCP server?
- NOAA CO-OPS tides and water level series via MCP
- Currents and related oceanographic observations
- Meteorological data from CO-OPS stations
- PyPI coops-mcp 0.1.0 with stdio and uvx runtime hint
- Part of mansurjisan/ocean-mcp alongside ERDDAP and ADCIRC servers
- Registry version 0.1.0 published as PyPI package coops-mcp
- Stdio transport with uvx runtime hint
- Hosted in mansurjisan/ocean-mcp GitHub repository
What problem does it solve?
Solo builders lose hours translating NOAA CO-OPS web services into working code every time they need tides or water levels for a prototype.
Who is it for?
Developers building coastal monitoring, maritime, or environmental features who want NOAA station data inside Claude Code or Cursor workflows.
Skip if: Teams that only need static CSV dumps with no agent integration, or projects far from ocean/coastal data needs.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registration, your agent can request CO-OPS observations through MCP tools while you focus on app logic, charts, and model forcing.
- Agent-queryable NOAA CO-OPS tides, water levels, currents, and met data
- Reduced bespoke REST client code for CO-OPS endpoints
- Integrable ocean data stack with other ocean-mcp servers
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Connecting authoritative observation APIs to your agent happens while integrating data sources into prototypes and pipelines, which is core build-phase work for solo technical founders. coops-mcp is an MCP bridge to NOAA CO-OPS, fitting integrations where external environmental APIs feed your product or analysis code.
How it compares
NOAA CO-OPS observation MCP connector, not an ADCIRC configuration assistant or a marketplace prompt skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is io.github.mansurjisan/coops-mcp for?
Solo builders and small teams creating coastal or ocean apps who need NOAA CO-OPS tides, water levels, currents, and weather data via MCP.
When should I use io.github.mansurjisan/coops-mcp?
Use it during build when you integrate live or historical CO-OPS station products into dashboards, models, or data pipelines through your coding agent.
How do I add io.github.mansurjisan/coops-mcp to my agent?
Add the coops-mcp PyPI MCP server (stdio, version 0.1.0) to your MCP settings, use uvx if supported, and restart Claude Code, Cursor, or your stdio-compatible client.
