Tools

ToolDescription
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.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gistemp": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gistemp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Gistemp data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
