NOAA SWPC space weather: storm scales, Kp index, aurora forecasts, solar wind, activity, alerts.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 406 ms.
- Sign-up?
- None neededIt answered without any account or key.
- Can it change things?
- No, read-onlyAll 6 tools say they only read.

Connection
Passed: The server responds.
Tools (6)
As the server describes them. The labels are the server's own: it says whether each tool only reads or can change things.
