usgs-water-mcp

A read-only stdio MCP server that queries public USGS water observations for stream gauges and watershed research. It provides tools to retrieve instantaneous streamflow observations for specific gauges and parameter codes, and to find active stream gauges within a geographic bounding box. The server utilizes USGS Water Services without requiring an API key, though data may be provisional and requests time out after 20 seconds.
