GovBot Tides, Elevation & Watersheds

GovBot Tides, Elevation & Watersheds is a remote, read-only MCP server operated by Ideation Lab, Corp. It requires no account. It reads the agencies' own services live and states the publisher, endpoint and retrieval time with every result.

What it returns:

• NOAA CO-OPS tide and water level stations near a latitude and longitude, nearest first, with whether each reports observations or publishes predictions.
• Observed water levels for a station and date range (six-minute, verified hourly, or verified high and low waters), with the datum, units, time zone and quality status of each value.
• Astronomical tide predictions for a station and date range (high and low, hourly or six-minute).
• Tidal and geodetic datums at a station (MLLW, MHHW, MSL, NAVD88 and others), the tidal datum epoch and recorded extremes.
• Ground elevation at a point from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, with the source resolution and acquisition date.
• The USGS hydrologic units (HUC8, HUC10, HUC12, and HUC2 to HUC6 on request) containing a point.

Typical use: read the tides and datums at the station nearest a waterfront site, compare a terrain elevation with a station's tidal datums, or identify the watershed of a location.

How results are qualified: water levels are observations or astronomical predictions at a station, not warnings or forecasts; current hazards are the National Weather Service's to announce. Elevations are terrain-model values, not surveyed elevations or determinations about any property. Watershed boundaries are not site-specific determinations. Not affiliated with NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey or any government agency. The server writes nothing.
