\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nSeven tools for real-time US weather data:\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|:----------|:------------|\n| `nws_get_forecast` | 7-day or hourly forecast for coordinates. Resolves NWS grid internally. |\n| `nws_search_alerts` | Active weather alerts filtered by area, point, zone, event, severity, urgency, certainty, and status. |\n| `nws_get_observations` | Current conditions by coordinates (nearest station) or station ID. |\n| `nws_find_stations` | Nearby observation stations sorted by distance with bearing. |\n| `nws_list_alert_types` | All valid alert event type names for filter discovery. |\n| `nws_get_office_discussion` | Latest narrative product (AFD, HWO, ZFP, SPS) from a Weather Forecast Office. |\n| `nws_get_zone_forecast` | Text forecast periods for a public NWS forecast zone. |\n\n### `nws_get_forecast`\n\nGet the weather forecast for a US location.\n\n- Default returns named 12-hour periods (14 total, ~7 days)\n- Hourly mode returns up to 156 one-hour periods with dewpoint and humidity\n- Coordinates resolve to NWS grid internally via `/points` endpoint\n- Formatted timestamps use the resolved local time zone\n- Returns forecast zone and county zone codes for chaining into `nws_search_alerts`\n\n---\n\n### `nws_search_alerts`\n\nSearch active weather alerts with flexible filtering.\n\n- Filter by area (state/territory/marine codes), point (lat,lon), zone, event type, severity, urgency, certainty, or status\n- `area`, `point`, and `zone` are mutually exclusive; specify at most one location filter\n- National search when no filters provided\n- Blank optional location filters are ignored so form-based clients can submit empty fields safely\n- Event matching is case-insensitive and partial, so `\"tornado\"` matches both watches and warnings\n- `status` defaults to live `Actual` alerts, but can be set to `Exercise`, `System`, `Test`, or `Draft`\n- Results capped at 25 with truncation notice and guidance to narrow filters\n- Validates area codes and point format before API call\n\n---\n\n### `nws_get_observations`\n\nCurrent measured conditions from a weather station.\n\n- Look up by coordinates (finds nearest station) or station ID directly\n- Blank or whitespace-only `station_id` values are ignored so clients can fall back to coordinates cleanly\n- Coordinate lookups choose the nearest station from the candidates returned by NWS\n- Dual-unit display: F/C, mph/km/h, inHg/hPa, mi/km\n- Observation timestamps use the station's local time zone when available\n- Warns when most measurements are unavailable from a station\n\n---\n\n### `nws_find_stations`\n\nDiscover nearby observation stations.\n\n- Sorted by haversine distance from query point\n- Returns distance (km) and compass bearing\n- Includes zone codes, elevation, time zone\n- Useful for finding station IDs for `nws_get_observations`\n\n---\n\n### `nws_list_alert_types`\n\nList all valid NWS alert event type names.\n\n- Returns the full set of event types the NWS API recognizes (e.g., \"Tornado Warning\", \"Heat Advisory\")\n- Use to discover valid values for the `event` filter in `nws_search_alerts`\n\n---\n\n### `nws_get_office_discussion`\n\nGet the latest narrative product from a Weather Forecast Office (WFO).\n\n- `office`: 3-letter WFO code (e.g., `SEW` for Seattle) — returned as the `office` field by `nws_get_forecast`\n- `product_type`: `AFD` (Area Forecast Discussion, default), `HWO` (Hazardous Weather Outlook), `ZFP` (Zone Forecast Product), `SPS` (Special Weather Statement)\n- Two-hop fetch: lists products by office/type (newest first), then retrieves full product text\n- Returns `productText` plus `issuanceTime`, `issuingOffice`, `productName`, `productCode`, `wmoCollectiveId`\n- Unknown office returns a clear error with recovery instructions (the NWS API returns HTTP 200 with an empty list, not a 404)\n\n---\n\n### `nws_get_zone_forecast`\n\nGet the text forecast for a public NWS forecast zone.\n\n- `zone_id`: forecast zone code (e.g., `WAZ315`) — returned by `nws_get_forecast` (`forecastZone`), `nws_find_stations` (`forecastZone` column), and `nws_search_alerts` (`affectedZones`)\n- Returns named periods (e.g., \"Today\", \"Tonight\", \"Monday\") with narrative text from local forecasters\n- Completes the alert-to-forecast chain: look up alert zones, then retrieve zone forecasts\n- County zone codes (`XXC###`) are not supported — use the forecast zone code\n\n## Resources\n\n| URI Pattern | Description |\n|:------------|:------------|\n| `nws://alert-types` | Static list of all valid NWS alert event type names. |\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool definitions — single file per tool, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling across all tools\n- Pluggable auth (`none`, `jwt`, `oauth`)\n- Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- Runs locally (stdio/HTTP) or on Cloudflare Workers from the same codebase\n\nNWS-specific:\n\n- Zero-auth access to the NWS API — no API keys required\n- Automatic coordinate-to-grid resolution with caching (1h TTL)\n- Request timeouts plus retry/backoff for transient NWS API failures\n- Dual-unit display for observations (F/C, mph/km/h, inHg/hPa, mi/km)\n- Continental US, Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories coverage\n\n## Getting started\n\n### Public Hosted Instance\n\nA public instance is available at `https://nws.caseyjhand.com/mcp` — no installation required.
