What this server can do

6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

noaa_spaceweather_get_alerts(active_only, max_age_hours)
Active SWPC alerts, watches, and warnings — parsed into structured records with product type, NOAA scale and level, issue time, validity window, and plain text. Covers geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, and radiation storms. With active_only=false, also returns informational summaries, expired notices, and cancellations. max_age_hours controls how far back to look (default 48 h); the SWPC feed keeps all historical records and has no built-in expiry.
noaa_spaceweather_get_aurora_forecast(latitude, longitude)
OVATION model aurora forecast for the next ~30–60 min: global grid of aurora probability percentages by latitude/longitude (1° resolution). With optional coordinates, returns the local aurora probability at the nearest grid point, the minimum Kp needed for aurora at that latitude, and a plain-language go/no-go verdict. Without coordinates, returns only global metadata. Data updates every ~5 minutes. Coordinates are geographic (WGS84), not geomagnetic.
noaa_spaceweather_get_conditions
Current space-weather snapshot: NOAA R/S/G storm scales (today + 3-day forecast), latest Kp index with its G-scale equivalent and aurora-visibility latitude, and a plain-language status summary. The quickest way to answer "is anything happening right now?" — use before deciding whether to drill into solar wind (noaa_spaceweather_get_solar_wind), aurora (noaa_spaceweather_get_aurora_forecast), or alert details (noaa_spaceweather_get_alerts).
noaa_spaceweather_get_kp_index(window_days)
Planetary K-index (0–9 geomagnetic activity scale) — recent observed 3-hour values with their NOAA G-scale equivalents and aurora-latitude guidance, plus the 3-day Kp forecast series. Kp is the primary driver of aurora visibility and geomagnetic storm severity: Kp≥5 is G1, Kp≥7 is G3 (aurora to ~50°), Kp≥9 is G5 extreme. Use noaa_spaceweather_get_conditions for a combined snapshot including storm scales; use this tool when you need the Kp time series or forecast detail.
noaa_spaceweather_get_solar_activity(include_regions)
Solar flare and radiation storm picture: recent GOES X-ray flux with flare-class labels (A/B/C/M/X), 3-day flare-class probabilities (C/M/X), active solar regions with per-region flare probabilities, and GOES integral proton flux at ≥10 MeV with NOAA S-scale. For operators tracking HF radio blackout (R-scale, driven by X-ray) and radiation storm risk (S-scale, driven by protons). Active region data helps identify which region is driving current activity.
noaa_spaceweather_get_solar_wind(window_hours)
Real-time solar wind measurements from the active spacecraft at L1: proton speed (km/s), density (n/cm³), temperature (K), and the critical Bz component (southward Bz = negative = storm driver). Returns the recent plasma and magnetic field time series within the requested window, oldest first, each record tagged with the reporting spacecraft. Bz < −10 nT for sustained periods is a primary geomagnetic storm trigger — use alongside noaa_spaceweather_get_kp_index to see whether elevated solar wind has translated into a geomagnetic storm.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Signal Value What it measures Window Observed Source
GitHub stars 1 Number of GitHub accounts that bookmarked this repository since it was created. It is a bookmark count, not installs, not active users and not quality. cumulative, all time GitHub

Where to get it

Related, by what their authors tagged them

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as cyanheads, noaa. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
