Data offered docs-verified: stream flow (discharge, 00060) · gage height (00065) · water temperature (00010) · dissolved oxygen (00300) · pH (00400) · current flooding reference points · monitoring location metadata · agency codes · altitude datums · aquifer codes and types
Coverage llm-inferred: United States
Update frequency docs-verified: Flooding reference points updated every 30 minutes; update frequency for other endpoints not stated
Formats llm-inferred: JSON · MCP stdio
Access llm-inferred: No auth or licence listed in ENTRY; docs mention no API key. Relies on public USGS APIs; free access not stated in docs.

Use cases llm-inferred: Pull 7-day stream flow and gage height for a gauged US river reach as hydrology inputs · Locate USGS monitoring stations within a project bounding box for baseline data review · Check currently flooding reference points as context for US flood-impact comparisons
Audience llm-inferred: hydrologists · flood consultants · GIS analysts · environmental scientists

Constraints llm-inferred: US-only data (USGS network and US state codes); not applicable to UK catchments · USGS API has usage limits; avoid rapid repeated requests · Some sites may have no data for the requested period or parameters · Requires local Python install (pip install -e . or httpx and mcp) and Claude Desktop config · current_water_levels.py is a deprecated legacy file
