NOAA OFS MCP Server
Hook NOAA Operational Forecast System regional ocean fields into your agent for water level, temperature, and salinity features.
Overview
ofs-mcp is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes NOAA OFS regional ocean forecasts including water level, temperature, and salinity to your agent.
What is this MCP server?
- NOAA OFS regional ocean model forecast access
- Water level, sea temperature, and salinity fields for agents
- stdio MCP package ofs-mcp on PyPI with uvx hint v0.1.0
- Complements GOES imagery and NHC storm servers in ocean-mcp
- Useful for ports, coastal apps, and marine planning prototypes
- NOAA OFS regional ocean model forecasts
- Parameters: water level, temperature, salinity
- PyPI ofs-mcp version 0.1.0
Community signal: 5 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Coastal and marine features need OFS model fields, but agents lack a standard way to query NOAA regional ocean forecasts during development.
Who is it for?
Indie developers integrating NOAA ocean model output into agent-assisted maritime, port, or environmental products.
Skip if: Naval operations or compliance workflows that require certified hydrographic products without your own validation pipeline.
What do I get? / Deliverables
With ofs-mcp registered, your agent can pull OFS water level, temperature, and salinity forecasts while you build coastal dashboards or APIs.
- Agent tools for OFS regional forecast parameters
- Integrated path for water level, temperature, and salinity in your app layer
- Shared ocean-mcp stack pattern alongside satellite and storm servers
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
OFS is operational model output consumed during product build, so Build is the canonical journey shelf. Integrations fits because the server exposes regional OFS forecast grids as agent tools rather than in-repo analytics code alone.
How it compares
Regional OFS forecast MCP bridge, not a full hydrodynamic modeling workstation or single-purpose CSV downloader skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ofs-mcp for?
Builders using MCP agents to add NOAA OFS regional ocean forecasts to apps focused on coasts, ports, or marine conditions.
When should I use ofs-mcp?
Use it during Build integrations when you need water level, temperature, or salinity from OFS inside your agent-driven workflow.
How do I add ofs-mcp to my agent?
Configure the ofs-mcp PyPI server with stdio transport, start it with uvx, and register io.github.mansurjisan/ofs-mcp in your MCP settings.
