NOAA Tides & Currents API MCP Connector for Claude

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and tidal auditing workflow with the NOAA Tides & Currents API, the authoritative source for United States coastal data. By connecting NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) to your agent, you transform complex water level searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time water levels, audit high and low tide predictions, and query atmospheric metadata without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are planning maritime logistics or conducting coastal research, your agent acts as a real-time oceanographic consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.

What you can do

• Water Level Auditing — Retrieve real-time water level data for thousands of NOAA stations and maintain a clear view of coastal changes.
• Tide Oversight — Audit high and low tide predictions to understand the temporal distribution of maritime scale instantly.
• Atmospheric Discovery — Query real-time air and water temperature metadata to assist in regional environmental planning.
• Station Intelligence — Retrieve high-resolution details for specific NOAA station IDs to assist in deep-dive oceanographic classification.
• Maritime Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.
