water_get_series
Get a time series of daily or instantaneous values for a site over a date range. Large ranges spill to DataCanvas.
How to use it
Project documentation lists water_get_series for the Usgs Water MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
