Data offered llm-inferred: daily max/min temperature (TMAX, TMIN) · daily precipitation (PRCP) · snowfall and snow depth (SNOW, SNWD) · daily average wind speed (AWND) · station and location metadata (names, coordinates, elevation, data-coverage dates) · CDO dataset, data category and data type catalogues · 1981-2010 climate normals (NORMAL_DLY/MLY/ANN/HLY) · NCEI Storm Events Database records (tornadoes, hail, floods, hurricanes, damage, casualties, narratives) · NCEI Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters (CPI-adjusted costs, deaths, yearly totals)
Coverage llm-inferred: United States · GHCND 1763–present; NORMAL datasets 1981–2010; Storm Events 1950 through current partial year; Billion-Dollar Disasters 1980 through last assessed year
Resolution llm-inferred: Station-level point observations. Temporal: 15-minute (PRECIP_15), hourly (PRECIP_HLY, NORMAL_HLY), daily (GHCND, NORMAL_DLY), monthly (GSOM, NORMAL_MLY), annual (GSOY, NORMAL_ANN).
Formats llm-inferred: JSON · MCP stdio · MCP streamable HTTP
Access docs-verified: Free NOAA CDO API token (env NOAA_CDO_TOKEN) required for CDO tools and resources; Storm Events and Billion-Dollar Disasters tools need no token; Apache-2.0 licence; self-hosted via npx, bunx, Docker or a public hosted endpoint.

Use cases llm-inferred: Historical daily PRCP and TMAX/TMIN series from the nearest GHCND station for a US project climate baseline · Storm Events flood and hail records for a US state and year as hazard evidence in a risk assessment · Billion-Dollar Disaster cost and frequency context for resilience or adaptation reporting · Screen station data-coverage dates before fetching observations for a US hydrology or drainage study
Audience llm-inferred: hydrologists · climate risk analysts · civils engineers on US projects · GIS analysts · planners

Constraints llm-inferred: Data is US-focused (ENTRY regions: United States; docs reference US states and NCEI corpora), so it has limited use for UK projects · Requires a free NOAA CDO token for CDO tools · CDO fetch_data span caps: 1 year for GHCND and PRECIP/NEXRAD/NORMAL daily-hourly datasets, 10 years for GSOM, GSOY, NORMAL_MLY, NORMAL_ANN · GHCND values are raw tenths-of-unit integers unless units is set to metric or standard · Storm Events limited to one year per query, and fails for years NCEI does not publish · Billion-Dollar Disasters coverage ends at the last year NCEI has finished assessing · Public hosted endpoint is third-party and not guaranteed; self-hosting adds maintenance · No CDO rate limits stated in docs
