tides

The Tides MCP (Marine Control Platform) Server is designed to aid researchers, developers, and marine enthusiasts by providing advanced tools for tidal data analysis and prediction. It offers global coverage of tidal height predictions, utilizing global tide models that integrate harmonic constants derived from over 20 years of altimeter and tide gauge data. The server allows users to generate interactive tide charts and customize data retrieval with a wide range of parameters. The latest version is backwards compatible and includes new features like additional prediction models and more tidal datums.

Features

• Global Coverage: Access tidal height predictions at any location within the World Ocean.
• High Accuracy: Utilizes global tide models that integrate harmonic constants derived from over 20 years of altimeter and tide gauge data.
• Interactive Predictions: Generate interactive tide charts to visualize tidal data.
• Comprehensive Parameter Support: Customize your data retrieval with a wide range of parameters including latitude, longitude, interval, timestamp, duration, and radius.
• Backwards Compatible: The latest version is backwards compatible and includes new features like additional prediction models and more tidal datums.

MCP Tools

• Tides Tool: Retrieve tide predictions including extremes and water levels.
