The Environment Agency Flood Monitoring MCP Server enables you to access near real-time flood warnings, water level measurements, flow data, and monitoring station information from the UK Environment Agency. It provides flexible tools to query current conditions, locate monitoring stations, and retrieve historical readings, all through an MCP client.

How to use

You connect to the MCP server from your MCP client to retrieve flood warnings, monitoring stations, and measurements. Use geographic filtering to focus on a location, request recent readings every 15 minutes, and combine multiple data types in a single query to monitor flood risk and water status for your region.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing:
- Node.js 18+ shipped with npm
- A working MCP client environment

To install the MCP server globally on your system, run the following command.

npm install -g mcp-server-environment-agency

Configuration and setup for local usage

You can run the MCP server as a local stdio process using npx. This allows you to test and develop against the MCP server without publishing an installable package.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "environment_agency": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-environment-agency"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop configuration

If you use Claude Desktop, add the MCP server to your Claude configuration so you can access it from Claude directly.

    "environment-agency": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-environment-agency"]
