Finds USGS stream gauges by river, town, state or location. Reports current stage, streamflow and water temperature, NWS flood stages and categories, and 2 to 366 days of history for trend checks. Also pulls NWS flood forecasts for forecast points. Public data, no account required.

Example request: "Is the Potomac at Little Falls rising right now, and what does the flood forecast say?"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use River Level to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://river-level-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- find_river_gauges: Search USGS stream gauges nationwide by river and place name (for example "mississippi st louis", "potomac little falls"), by state, or within a radius of a latitude and longitude. Returns site numbers with whether each is reporting now and its latest stage and flow, active gauge
- get_river_level: Current river stage (gage height in feet), streamflow (discharge in cubic feet per second) and water temperature where measured, read now from a USGS stream gauge (readings every 5 to 60 minutes). Adds the NWS flood stages (action, minor, moderate, major), the current flood categ
- get_river_history: Daily mean streamflow (default) or stage for a USGS gauge over the last 2 to 366 days, with first, last, low, high, mean and change. Use it for trend, drought and "is the river rising" questions. Many gauges publish daily means for discharge only.
- get_flood_forecast: The current NOAA National Water Prediction Service river forecast for a gauge: the forecast stage and flow series, the forecast crest with its flood category, the latest observation, flood stages and the record crest. Works for NWS forecast points (accepts the NWS id or the USGS
