## Description

NOAA Tides and Currents MCP Server provides tools for interacting with NOAA's oceanographic and meteorological data APIs through FastMCP. Developed by Ryan Cardin, it enables access to water level data, tide predictions, currents, meteorological measurements, station information, moon phases, and sun position calculations. The server can be configured to run via stdio or SSE transport protocols and is containerized with Docker for easy deployment. Particularly valuable for maritime applications, weather monitoring, and astronomical calculations that require accurate tidal, current, and celestial data.
