About Flood

Flood connects the Open-Meteo Flood API to MCP for agents that need river-flow and flood-risk data by location. It offers discharge forecasts and multi-day flood outlooks, and can run through the gateway or locally.

Key features

  1. 01Query daily river discharge forecasts
  2. 02Retrieve multi-day flood forecasts
  3. 03Return discharge statistics and severity assessments
  4. 04Run through the gateway or local stdio

Use cases

  1. 01Monitor river flow at a location
  2. 02Assess flood risk and timing
  3. 03Query flood data from an MCP client

MCP support

Exposes river-discharge and flood-forecast tools to MCP clients. It can connect through the Pipeworx gateway or run as a local stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details

From the project README

mcp-flood

Flood MCP — wraps Open-Meteo Flood API (free, no auth)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1879+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
get_river_dischargeGet daily river discharge forecast in cubic meters per second for a location. Returns discharge values with timestamps. Use to monitor water flow rates for flood risk assessment.
get_flood_forecastGet multi-day flood forecast for a location with current, mean, and peak river discharge projections. Returns discharge statistics and severity assessment. Use to evaluate flood risk and timeline.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flood": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/flood/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/flood/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1879+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_river_discharge \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"latitude":40.7128,"longitude":-74.006}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_river_discharge. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flood": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-flood"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-flood

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Flood data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
