NetCDF MCP Server

An MCP server that reads and understands NetCDF files, designed to give coding agents context about scientific data files.

Installation

uv pip install -e .

Related MCP server: ERDDAP MCP Server

Usage

With Cursor/Claude

Add to your MCP configuration file (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netcdf-mcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/netcdf-mcp", "netcdf-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/uv with your uv binary location (e.g., /opt/homebrew/bin/uv) and /path/to/netcdf-mcp with where you cloned this repository.
