- 02Return station IDs and names
- 03Provide locations and observation types
Use cases
- 01Find observation stations in a state
- 02Retrieve a station ID and location
- 03Check the observation types at a station
MCP support
It exposes a weather-station lookup tool to MCP clients and can be connected through the Pipeworx gateway.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_stations | Find weather observation stations in a US state (e.g., "CA", "NY", "TX"). Returns station IDs, names, locations, and observation types. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"noaa": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/noaa/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Noaa data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
