More Than NDBC & AirNow
The REST API exposes all sensors, projects, and MCP endpoints regardless of provider. You don’t need service-specific docs to use them:
- Sensors — List sensors, get details, call MCP per sensor (
POST /api/v1/sensors/:id/mcp), or use registry MCP (POST /api/v1/sensors/registry/mcp). - Services — List and query MCP services by id (
POST /api/v1/services/:id/mcp). - Projects — List projects/feeds and call MCP per project.
Use REST API → Sensors to list sensors (including NDBC, AirNow, and others), resolve UUIDs, and call MCP by sensor or by registry.
