Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "water-conditions": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "water-conditions-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add water-conditions -- uvx water-conditions-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "water-conditions": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "water-conditions-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "water-conditions": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [

    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Water Conditions safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.3.0) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

Get real-time water temperature and tide prediction data for any lake, river, ocean, bay, or beach by name or latitude/longitude coordinates. Data sourced live from NOAA CO-OPS, USGS, and seatemperature.info, with automatic nearest-station matching for coordinate inputs. Coverage includes 8,000+ named locations across North America and major international bodies, with string to coordinate geocoding for fallback.

mcp-name: io.github.aybeeare/water-conditions

Roadmap: national sensor network expansion

Today's accuracy hierarchy is USGS/NOAA (real government sensors, ground-truth for the exact station) > seatemperature.info (best-guess aggregator, no known dedicated sensor network, used for everywhere else via geocoding). The plan is to extend the *first* tier — real sensor networks, wired in the same way as USGS/NOAA — country by country, rather than leaning on the aggregator fallback long-term. Goal: a genuine "super API" blending national sensor networks the way this project already blends USGS + NOAA.

Confirmed and ready to integrate (free, open, no API key required):

UK Environment Agency — best next candidate. Hydrology API (river flows/levels/groundwater, ~8,000 stations, 15-min resolution) + Flood Monitoring API (river/tide levels) — same openness and simplicity as USGS/NOAA, Open Government Licence.
France SHOM/REFMAR — ~100 real-time tide gauges, Licence Etalab 2.0.

Investigated, more complex integration:

Copernicus Marine Service (EU/global sea surface temperature, satellite + in-situ) — free and authoritative, but the bulk data products are scientific-grade (NetCDF via a Python toolbox) rather than simple per-station JSON. Has a REST "In Situ Dashboard" worth a closer look.

Investigated, unclear near-term path:

East Asia (Japan JMA/JODC, Korea KMA) — both have relevant agencies, but access looked more fragmented/licensed than the UK case in an initial search (Japan's tide data appears to route through an authorized distributor, not a clean open endpoint). Needs real investigation before committing — not a near-term target.

North America (USGS/NOAA) + Europe (UK EA, France SHOM) covers the current priority footprint well. Everything else stays on the geocoding + seatemperature.info fallback until/unless a specific region's sensor network turns out to be worth the integration effort.

Query log (owner only)

Every /fishing-guide request is logged with its channel (alexa, mcp-http, mcp-stdio or rest), the MCP client name when known, what was asked, what it resolved to, the outcome and the latency. The log is a separate SQLite file (api/query_log.py), not fishing.db, because fishing.db is rebuilt from git on every deploy.

1. One-time setup on Railway

Attach a volume to the service (any mount path, e.g. /data). The log goes to $RAILWAY_VOLUME_MOUNT_PATH/query_log.db automatically. Without a volume the log is wiped on every deploy and the server logs a warning at startup.
ACTIVITY_API_KEY is already set. Note the value somewhere safe.

2. Read it — open a terminal in this project folder:

$env:ACTIVITY_API_KEY="your-secret-here"

python scripts/activity.py # last 7 days: counts + last 50 calls python scripts/activity.py --days 30 --channel alexa python scripts/activity.py --days 3650 --csv query_log.csv # download every row

The $env: line only needs to be run once per terminal session.
