GribStream Weather MCP
NOAA and ECMWF weather forecast MCP for discovery, validation, and GribStream OAuth queries.The vendor's description, from its MCP Registry listing.
Every public check ran and passed. Public audit: we connect as an AI client would, list the tools and check what they say. We do not run them. How we audit
- Does it work?
- YesConnected in 193 ms.
- Sign-up?
- None neededIt answered without any account or key.
- Can it change things?
- YesSome tools say they can change things. Your AI client should ask you first.

What we checked
Security
Passed: Connections are encrypted (HTTPS).
Passed: No hidden instructions found in tool text.
Safety labels
Note: 2 tools are labelled as able to change things.
Expected for tools that send, write or buy. Your AI client should ask before calling them.
- gribstream_query_runs
- gribstream_query_timeseries
Passed: Every tool says whether it only reads or can change things.
Tools
Passed: 12 tools listed.
Passed: Every tool describes its inputs with a valid schema.
Protocol
Passed: The MCP handshake works (Streamable HTTP).
Passed: Protocol version 2025-11-25 (latest).
Passed: Unknown requests are refused.
Connection
Passed: The server responds.
Tools (12)
As the server describes them. The labels are the server's own: it says whether each tool only reads or can change things.
