Using NOAA climate data in Kahubi

  • Community server. An open-source server maintained by the MCP community. Kahubi tests it with live queries before listing it and health-checks it regularly.
  • Cited, checkable answers. Results are treated as retrieved material and cited with the source’s own identifiers, so you can open every record the answer relied on.
  • Your files stay private. Only the search the assistant writes for your question is sent to NOAA climate data.
