NOAA WW3 MCP Server
Hook GFS-Wave (WAVEWATCH III) forecasts and NDBC buoy wave observations into your agent while building marine, offshore, or coastal products.
Overview
NOAA WW3 MCP (io.github.mansurjisan/ww3-mcp) is a Build-phase MCP server that exposes GFS-Wave forecasts and NDBC buoy wave observations for agent-assisted marine and coastal development.
What is this MCP server?
- GFS-Wave / WAVEWATCH III forecast access via MCP
- NDBC buoy wave observation queries for validation and ops
- stdio MCP package ww3-mcp v0.1.1 via uvx on PyPI
- Designed to chain with STOFS surge and USGS river MCP servers
- Supports agent-generated ingestion for marine weather features
- ww3-mcp version 0.1.1 on PyPI
- stdio transport with uvx runtimeHint
- Repository: github.com/mansurjisan/ocean-mcp
What problem does it solve?
Wave model outputs and buoy feeds are scattered across services, making it slow for one-person teams to wire reliable sea-state features into new apps.
Who is it for?
Indie devs building surf, harbor, fishing, or offshore logistics products that need WW3 forecasts cross-checked with NDBC observations.
Skip if: Landlocked SaaS with no marine use case, or teams needing certified navigation weather without their own compliance review.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Installing ww3-mcp gives your agent structured wave forecast and buoy tools so you can implement marine data features with less API archaeology.
- Agent-accessible WW3/GFS-Wave forecast queries
- NDBC buoy wave observation pulls for validation
- Code-ready patterns for marine weather features
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Wave forecast and buoy obs land in Build when you integrate multi-source ocean weather into your app's backend or analytics jobs. Integrations reflects MCP tools over NOAA wave models and NDBC rather than frontend-only charting.
How it compares
Wave-data MCP connector, not a commercial marine weather app or on-vessel certified routing suite.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ww3-mcp for?
Builders using AI agents to integrate NOAA GFS-Wave forecasts and NDBC buoy wave data into coastal or offshore software.
When should I use ww3-mcp?
Use it during Build when you need sea-state forecasts, buoy validation, or combined wave timelines in code your agent is helping write.
How do I add ww3-mcp to my agent?
Configure stdio MCP with uvx ww3-mcp from PyPI 0.1.1, ensure NOAA-related endpoints are reachable, and restart your MCP client.
