Project inspection tools do not establish model calibration or supply surveyed channels and structures.
Discover sources with MCP
Add this server to an HTTP-compatible MCP client, then call get_source to inspect the first source. The tool call is shown separately from the client configuration. Review upstream access details before requesting data.

MCP Server to Access HEC-RAS Project Data via Claude Desktop, Claude Code and other LLMs
What's in it
Data offered docs-verified
server/version information · project length units · plan descriptions · selected project/plan metadata · bounded read-only HEC-RAS project and plan text
Formats docs-verified
MCP stdio
Access docs-verified
Open-source, MIT licence (per registry metadata). Free local install from PyPI with python -m pip install --upgrade ras-commander-mcp. Requires Python 3.10+. No HEC-RAS executable needed. No auth listed in entry.
Useful for
Use cases llm-inferred
Check project length units and plan descriptions in existing HEC-RAS models during flood model QA · Pull selected plan metadata from HEC-RAS text files into a bounded review note for a model handover · Confirm ras-commander and ras-commander-mcp versions in a managed environment before starting modelling work
Read-only: does not modify projects, compute, read HDF/DSS, inspect geometry, extract gridded data, export files or download into projects · Project metadata and plan configuration need ras-commander 0.104.0; on 0.103.0 those tools return an availability error · Project tools are meant only for bounded informational subagents; other hosts need a scoped Python workflow · Only project roots listed in RAS_MCP_ALLOWED_ROOTS are readable; no roots are trusted by default · Claude Code plugin is forthcoming and its repository is not yet published · Version 0.4 replaces the 0.3 tool set and needs migration · Windows: other tools in a workflow may still fail on paths over 260 characters · Independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by USACE HEC
Which listed sources support Hydraulic modelling input data?
Start with Defra Data Services Platform LiDAR, NRFA API, FEH Web Service. Prepare terrain, inflow evidence and rainfall inputs, then inspect existing HEC-RAS project metadata.
What should I check before using these sources for hydraulic modelling input data?
Project inspection tools do not establish model calibration or supply surveyed channels and structures.
How do I inspect Defra Data Services Platform LiDAR through MCP?
Connect an MCP client to https://terramcp.earth/mcp and call get_source with slug defra-data-services-platform-lidar. Review its provenance, access requirements and limitations before contacting the upstream service. Discovery does not make every listed source directly executable through the router.
Are these sources free and independently verified?
Access and licence terms belong to each upstream provider; some products require registration or payment. Open each listing for evidence, health status and enrichment provenance. A wrapper and its underlying API can refer to the same dataset and are not independent observations.
