nasa-power-mcp-server

An MCP server that allows agents to query NASA POWER historical solar and meteorological observations for renewable energy, sustainable buildings, and agroclimatology. It supports retrieving point time series, climatology, native-grid regions, and comparing labeled locations. The server provides tools for accessing hourly, daily, or monthly observations, inspecting schemas, and running bounded read-only SQL against staged tables.
