Why MCP over REST?

AI-Native. Tools are designed for LLM consumption with structured descriptions, typed parameters, and formatted responses.
Analysis Built-in. Tools like compare_locations and get_best_period do multi-step analysis that would require many REST calls.
Probabilistic Access. Direct access to NBM ensemble data and confidence intervals — not available through the REST API.
Zero Integration. Connect in your MCP config and start querying. No code to write.
