Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@SWATGenX MCP ServerFind calibrated SWAT+ models for Texas"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
SWATGenX MCP Server
The agent-native front door to SWATGenX: SWAT+ watershed models for any river in the lower 48 states, built in the cloud from national datasets, with calibration as a separate step you run when you are ready.
Add it to Claude or any MCP client, and an agent can search the example-model catalog with its calibration and held-out validation scores, query a national groundwater well inventory and a national PFAS monitoring inventory, preview what a model of a watershed would contain, read the documentation, and order, track and download a real SWAT+ build under the same allocations as the web app.

About
SWATGenX builds SWAT+ models for a USGS gauge, a HUC12 outlet or a HUC8 basin from NHDPlus HR hydrography, gSSURGO soils, NLCD land cover and PRISM weather, with an optional steady-state MODFLOW 6 groundwater model. Calibration against USGS streamflow is a separate step you run when you are ready. Its engine runs SWAT+ and MODFLOW 6 two-way, daily.
The national groundwater inventory is described in doi:10.5194/essd-2026-527.
The server implementation lives in the main SWATGenX repository; this repository holds the registry manifest
(server.json) and the publish workflow.
