Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work.

search_datasets
Search the AQUAVIEW catalog — a comprehensive collection of 268K+ global oceanographic, atmospheric, and marine datasets from 15 sources (NOAA, NDBC, IOOS, WOD, CoastWatch, etc.), intended for scientific research, data analysis, and…
get_item
Fetch a single AQUAVIEW dataset item with full details, properties, and download links (assets). STAC items embed assets inline — each asset includes an href (download URL) and media type, so there is no need for a separate "files" call…
list_collections
List all available AQUAVIEW data collections (sources). Returns a summary of each collection with ID, title, description, spatial/temporal extent, and keywords. Use collection IDs to filter searches. These are CATALOG collections. Several…
aggregate
Run aggregation queries on the AQUAVIEW catalog — get counts, spatial distributions, temporal distributions, and per-collection breakdowns without fetching individual items. Args: aggregations: Comma-separated aggregation types…
list_data_sources
List the AQUAVIEW data sources you can pull actual rows from, or describe one in detail. Call this BEFORE get_data on a source you have not used. Variable names are canonical per source and cannot be guessed — this is where they come…
get_data
Pull actual observation rows from an AQUAVIEW data source — not catalog metadata. Use this whenever the question needs the measurements themselves (temperature profiles, float positions, buoy readings), rather than which datasets exist…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aquaview-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.aquaview.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
