NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence

NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Real-time space weather intelligence: planetary Kp geomagnetic index, 3-day Kp forecast, solar wind speed and magnetic field, aurora probability forecast (Ovation model), solar flux (F10.7), and Dst storm index from NOAA SWPC.

6 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Real-time space weather from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.

What you can do

  • Kp Index — Current geomagnetic activity (aurora threshold)
  • Kp Forecast — 3-day predictions
  • Solar Wind — Speed (km/s) and Bz from DSCOVR satellite
  • Aurora Forecast — Ovation probability model (global)
  • Solar Flux — F10.7 solar activity proxy
  • Dst Index — Ring current storm intensity

Who Needs This?

Aurora hunters, satellite operators, HF radio operators, power grid managers, airline operators (polar routes), and space enthusiasts.

6 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_planetary_k_index

Kp ranges 0-9. Values ≥5 indicate geomagnetic storms with visible aurora at lower latitudes. Updated every 3 hours. Essential for aurora hunters, satellite operators, and power grid managers. Get the NOAA Planetary K-index — geomagnetic activity and aurora probability

get_k_index_forecast

Use this to plan for aurora viewing, satellite vulnerabilities, or HF radio propagation impacts. Get the 3-day Kp index forecast — predicted geomagnetic activity

get_solar_wind

The solar wind drives geomagnetic storms — when speed exceeds 500 km/s with southward Bz, aurora probability increases dramatically. Get real-time solar wind speed and magnetic field conditions

get_aurora_forecast

Powered by real-time solar wind data. The gold standard for aurora forecasting worldwide. Get the aurora probability forecast map data (Ovation model)

get_solar_flux

7 solar flux index. Higher values (>100 SFU) indicate increased solar activity, more sunspots, and higher probability of solar flares and CMEs. Normal quiet-sun values are 70-80 SFU. Get the 10.7cm solar radio flux — a proxy for solar activity level

get_dst_index

Measures the intensity of the ring current around Earth. Values below -50 nT indicate a moderate storm, below -100 nT a strong storm, below -250 nT a severe storm. Critical for satellite operators and power grid monitoring. Get the Dst index — real-time geomagnetic storm intensity

Can I see the aurora tonight?

🌌 **Aurora Probability Tonight** Current Kp: 4 (Active) Forecast: Kp 5 (Minor Storm) expected 9pm-midnight Solar Wind: 520 km/s (elevated) Bz: -6 nT (southward — favorable!) ✅ Aurora likely visible from: - Northern US states (WA, MT, MN, WI, MI, NY, ME) - Southern Canada - Northern Europe ❌ Not visible from: Southern US, tropics

What is the current solar wind status?

☀️ **Solar Wind (Real-Time)** Speed: 485 km/s (moderate) Bz: -3.2 nT (slightly southward) Bt: 7.8 nT Density: 4.2 p/cm³ Solar Flux (F10.7): 148 SFU (above average) Dst: -28 nT (quiet) ⚡ Conditions: mildly disturbed. HF radio propagation good. No significant storm expected in next 24h.

Kp ≥ 5: visible from northern US/southern Canada. Kp ≥ 7: visible from mid-latitudes (40°N). Kp = 9: rare — aurora visible from southern US/Europe. Check the Ovation model for precise probability at your location.
