Pack: noaa-ndbc · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/noaa-ndbc/mcp
No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ndbc_latest_obs for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.
Latest observed marine conditions at an NDBC station — significant wave height, dominant and average wave period, mean wave direction, wind speed/direction/gust, sea-surface and air temperature, barometric pressure and its 3-hour tendency. These are MEASURED values from a buoy, not a forecast; PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for current sea state. Sourced from NOAA NDBC realtime observations.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
station_id | string | yes | NDBC station id, e.g. “46026” (San Francisco), “41001”, “51001”. Case-insensitive. |
