US Drought Monitor
Connects Claude to the US Drought Monitor, letting you query current drought conditions and severity levels across the United States. You get access to affected areas, drought classifications (from abnormally dry to exceptional drought), and historical comparisons. Useful when you're analyzing regional climate impacts, writing about water resources, or building context around agricultural conditions, wildfire risk, or water policy. The data comes from the joint USDA/NOAA drought monitoring program. Part of OlyPort's collection of federal data servers, runs on streamable HTTP transport with a free tier of 100 calls per day.
