Gistemp vs Server Everything

A side-by-side look at the Gistemp and Server Everything MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

Verdict: choose Gistemp for aerospace & astrodynamics work as a local process; choose Server Everything for other tools and integrations as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Tools & capabilities

Gistemp tools 3

  • get_temperature_anomalyNASA GISTEMP surface temperature anomaly time series (degrees C from 1951-1980 baseline). Pick a region (global_land_ocean, global_land_only, northern_hemisphere, southern_hemisphere) and get monthly + annual + seasonal values back. Use for climate bets ("will 2026 be the hottest year on record"), trend comparisons, or cross-source consistency checks against HadCRUT5/Berkeley Earth. Annual frequency returns one row per year (Jan-Dec mean); monthly returns Jan..Dec per year.
  • get_latest_anomalyMost recent NASA GISTEMP global land+ocean monthly anomaly, plus how it ranks against history. Returns the latest available month, the anomaly value (degrees C from 1951-1980 baseline), the rank of that value among all same-month observations since 1880, and a 12-month trailing mean. Cheaper than get_temperature_anomaly when you only need "what is the current reading and is it unusual."
  • get_zonal_anomaliesNASA GISTEMP annual zonal anomalies (degrees C from 1951-1980 baseline) for 8 latitude bands: global, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, 24N-90N, 24S-24N (tropics), 90S-24S, 64N-90N (Arctic), 44S-24S, etc. Use for regional climate bets ("will the Arctic warm faster than the tropics in 2026") or bets framed around polar amplification.

Frequently asked questions

Gistemp is categorized under Aerospace & Astrodynamics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Server Everything belongs to Other Tools and Integrations and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Gistemp for aerospace & astrodynamics work and Server Everything for other tools and integrations.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

Gistemp has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Server Everything is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add gistemp and modelcontextprotocol-server-everything as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.

On AllMCPs, Gistemp has a quality signal of 59/100 (Good) with 2 views, 0 installs and 0 GitHub stars. Server Everything has 55/100 (Good) with 9 views, 0 installs and 91,486 GitHub stars.
