Cdec Ca Overview
Cdec Ca connects AI agents to California Department of Water Resources CDEC data for hydrology, reservoir storage, snow water content, and stream gauges. It provides station metadata, daily, hourly, event-based, latest-value, and reservoir snapshot tools using CDEC's JSON services. Use it for environmental analysis that needs current or historical California water data without managing an upstream API key. The hosted endpoint works directly over MCP, while an npm package provides a local stdio bridge.
Primary Use Cases for Cdec Ca:
- Retrieve daily or hourly readings for a CDEC station
- Check current reservoir storage across California
- Inspect snow water equivalent at a monitoring station
- Look up station metadata before querying measurements
