What is NOAA Tides and Currents?
NOAA Tides and Currents is an MCP server that provides tools for interacting with the NOAA Tides and Currents API using the FastMCP framework. It allows AI assistants and hosts to retrieve water levels, tide predictions, currents, meteorological data, station metadata, moon phase information, and sun position data.
How to use NOAA Tides and Currents?
Install automatically via Smithery (npx -y @smithery/cli install @RyanCardin15/tidesandcurrents --client claude) or manually by cloning the repository, installing dependencies, building, and starting the server. Configure transport type (stdio or sse) and port in a .env file. Use with any MCP host like Claude Desktop, or test with the fastmcp command-line tool or MCP Inspector.
