What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: water temperature · dissolved oxygen · pH · streamflow with EPA thresholds · water levels, tide predictions, tidal range, deviation from predicted · species presence records with taxonomy, threat status, native/introduced flags · species occurrence records (museum, research, iNaturalist, eBird) · current AQI by pollutant (PM2.5, PM10, ozone) · permitted dischargers, compliance status, violation counts · facilities in Significant Non-Compliance · specific effluent violations (parameter, exceedance %, dates) · 303(d) listed waters, impairment causes, TMDL status · TRI facilities and annual chemical release obligations · per-chemical TRI release amounts by medium (air, water, land)
Coverage llm-inferred: Docs say any coordinates can be used; USGS, NOAA and EPA sources are US-focused, while iNaturalist and GBIF are global
Update frequency llm-inferred: Real-time for USGS NWIS and AirNow sources; not stated for other sources
Formats llm-inferred: MCP stdio
Access docs-verified: Free public APIs; no API key for most tools; airnow_air_quality requires a free AirNow API key; MIT licence

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Baseline water quality and streamflow screening near a site from nearest USGS monitoring stations (US sites) · Permitted discharger and effluent violation screening upstream of a development site (US sites) · 303(d) impaired waters and TMDL status check for a site's receiving water during environmental screening · Species presence and occurrence records for an ecological desk study
Audience llm-inferred: environmental consultants · hydrologists · ecologists · GIS analysts · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Core sources (USGS, NOAA, EPA) are US federal datasets; UK coverage is not evidenced in the docs · USGS tool only returns stations with active real-time sensors near the coordinates; some sites may return no data · airnow_air_quality needs a free AirNow API key, which conflicts with the catalogue auth field saying no key is required · Act tools are not implemented yet; the server currently only reads data · Docs describe the project as a starting point, so maintenance and stability are unproven · Depends on third-party APIs (USGS, NOAA, EPA, iNaturalist, GBIF, AirNow) remaining available
