What the publisher says

From the Usgs Water repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

usgs-water-mcp

Query public USGS water observations for stream gauges and watershed research. This is separate from earthquake data and focuses on streamflow and gauge discovery.

Tools

  • get_streamflow: instantaneous observations for a gauge and USGS parameter code. 00060 is the common discharge parameter.
  • find_gauges: find active stream gauges in a min longitude,min latitude,max longitude,max latitude bounding box, with a bounded result count.

The server uses USGS Water Services without an API key. Data can be provisional and may be revised by USGS. Requests time out after 20 seconds.

Run

npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js
