Glama MCP Gateway
Connect through Glama MCP Gateway for full control over tool access and complete visibility into every call.
Full call logging
Every tool call is logged with complete inputs and outputs, so you can debug issues and audit what your agents are doing.
Tool access control
Enable or disable individual tools per connector, so you decide what your agents can and cannot do.
Managed credentials
Glama handles OAuth flows, token storage, and automatic rotation, so credentials never expire on your clients.
Usage analytics
See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.3/5 across 3 of 3 tools scored.
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: find_stations locates stations, get_climate_data retrieves historical observations, and get_climate_normals provides 30-year averages. There is no overlap in functionality, and the descriptions explicitly guide users on how to chain them together (e.g., using station IDs from find_stations with the other tools).
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: find_stations, get_climate_data, and get_climate_normals. The verbs 'find' and 'get' are appropriately chosen for their actions, and the naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.
With 3 tools, the count is reasonable for a climate data server, covering core workflows of station lookup, data retrieval, and normals. However, it feels slightly thin as it lacks tools for broader queries (e.g., by region without FIPS) or data manipulation, but each tool earns its place without redundancy.
The tools provide a solid foundation for accessing NOAA climate data, with clear progression from station discovery to data and normals retrieval. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tools for metadata queries (e.g., dataset lists) or spatial searches beyond state/county, but agents can work around these using the provided tools effectively.
Available Tools
3 toolsfind_stationsInspect
Find NOAA weather stations in an area.
Returns a list of weather stations with their IDs, names, coordinates,
and active date ranges. Use the station IDs with get_climate_data.
Args:
state: Two-letter US state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'NY').
county_fips: Five-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '36061' for Manhattan).
dataset: Dataset ID to filter stations that have data in this dataset.
Default is 'GHCND' (daily summaries).
limit: Maximum number of stations to return (default 25, max 1000).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| state | No | ||
| dataset | No | GHCND | |
| county_fips | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
get_climate_dataInspect
Get climate observations from NOAA Climate Data Online.
Returns historical weather measurements such as temperature, precipitation,
and snowfall. You must provide either a station_id or a FIPS code to
identify the location, and a date range.
Args:
station_id: NOAA station identifier (e.g. 'GHCND:USW00094728' for Central Park).
fips: FIPS code for county or state (e.g. '36' for New York state, '36061' for Manhattan).
dataset: Dataset ID. Common values: 'GHCND' (daily summaries), 'GSOM' (monthly),
'GSOY' (annual), 'NORMAL_DLY' (daily normals). Default is 'GHCND'.
start_date: Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required for most datasets.
end_date: End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required for most datasets.
data_types: Comma-separated data type IDs to filter. Common types:
TMAX (max temp), TMIN (min temp), TAVG (avg temp),
PRCP (precipitation), SNOW (snowfall), SNWD (snow depth),
AWND (avg wind speed). If omitted, all available types are returned.
limit: Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 1000).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| fips | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| dataset | No | GHCND | |
| end_date | No | ||
| data_types | No | ||

| station_id | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
get_climate_normalsInspect
Get 30-year climate normal values for a NOAA weather station.
Climate normals are averages computed over the most recent 30-year period
(currently 1991-2020). They represent typical conditions for a location
and are useful for comparing current conditions to historical baselines.
Args:
station_id: NOAA station identifier (e.g. 'GHCND:USW00094728').
Use find_stations to look up station IDs.
data_types: Comma-separated normal data type IDs to filter. Common types:
DLY-TMAX-NORMAL (avg daily max temp), DLY-TMIN-NORMAL (avg daily min temp),
DLY-TAVG-NORMAL (avg daily temp), DLY-PRCP-PCTALL-GE001HI (precip probability),
MTD-PRCP-NORMAL (monthly precip), ANN-TMAX-NORMAL (annual max temp).
If omitted, all available normals are returned.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| data_types | No | ||
| station_id | Yes |
