What data does this MCP server provide?

It provides real-time water levels and flow rates from USGS stream gauges. You can query current conditions, historical trends, and gauge metadata for hydrological monitoring and analysis.

How do I connect to this server?

The server is hosted at https://mcp.olyport.com/water/mcp and uses HTTP transport. Configure your MCP client to point to this endpoint to start querying USGS gauge data.

Do I need authentication or API keys?

The registry metadata does not specify authentication requirements. Check the hosted endpoint documentation or contact the server maintainer to confirm if credentials are needed.

Can I filter gauges by location or state?

The server queries USGS stream gauges, which are indexed by location. Refer to the server's schema documentation for supported filter parameters like state, river name, or geographic bounds.

What's the difference between this and querying USGS directly?

This MCP server wraps USGS gauge data in a standardized protocol, making it easier to integrate into AI-assisted workflows and chat interfaces without writing custom HTTP clients.
