MCP support
Exposes storm, property, insurance, FEMA claim, and pipeline tools to MCP clients, along with two prompt templates. Supports SSE access and a standalone stdio server; API access requires Growth tier or above.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEStormAxis MCP Server
Give your AI agent real-time US storm intelligence. StormAxis connects Claude, GPT, and any MCP-compatible agent to live NOAA storm data, scored contractor opportunities, property targeting lists, and canvass route optimization — purpose-built for roofing and restoration contractors.
What it does
StormAxis watches every storm in the United States in real time. When a qualifying hail or wind event hits, it automatically scores it (0–100) based on severity, local property values, roof age, and historical claim rates — then surfaces the best opportunities to your agent.
Your AI agent can:
- Ask "What are the best storm opportunities in Texas right now?" and get a ranked list with estimated revenue
- Pull a property target list for any ZIP code hit by a scored storm
- Get H3-optimized canvass clusters so field crews know exactly where to knock doors first
- Check insurance claim propensity by state before committing resources to a new market
- Subscribe to webhooks that fire the moment a qualifying storm lands in your territory
Quickstart
1. Get a Partner API key
Sign up at stormaxis.io/partner. MCP access requires Growth tier ($199/mo) or above.
2. Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add stormaxis \
--transport sse \
--url https://stormaxis.io/api/mcp/sse \
--header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
3. Make your first call
Ask Claude: "Check the StormAxis pipeline status."
You should see pipeline_active: true and a latest_event_time within the last 48 hours. You're live.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
