**An agent can connect on its own if it already holds `X_API_KEY`, `X_API_KEY`.** Remote endpoint behind a static API key or header. The registry never sees the value; the agent fills the placeholder.

## Connection (mcpServers)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vertical-weather": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.verticalweather.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "${X_API_KEY}",
        "Authorization": "${X_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Placeholders to fill: `${X_API_KEY}`, `${X_API_KEY}`.

## Trust

- hygiene: 80
- liveness: 100
- freshness: 100
- provenance: 55
- drivers: +dns-namespace +website +reachable +uptime-99% +updated-25d-ago -no-repository
- Derived from observable signals (official registry feed and our own credential-free probes); no code audit performed.

## Quality 89/100 (good)

### protocol: 88 (weight 25)

- pass `protocol.modern`: supports 2026-07-28 (server/discover)
- pass `protocol.stateless`: answers without a session
- pass `protocol.transport`: streamable HTTP
- warn `protocol.list_ttl`: tools/list declares ttlMs 0, so clients re-fetch it on every use

### authorization: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `auth.prm`, `auth.as_metadata`, `auth.cimd`: no remote uses OAuth
- n/a `auth.secret_in_url`: no templated URL

### tool hygiene: 86 (weight 30)

- pass `tools.descriptions`: every tool has a description
- pass `tools.description_length`: descriptions are concise
- pass `tools.schemas`: every tool has an object input schema
- pass `tools.annotations`: 3 of 3 tools declare readOnlyHint or destructiveHint
- fail `tools.directory_hints`: no tool declares all four of readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint; missing: get_usage (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); get_capabilities (destructiveHint, idempotentHint); get_atmospheric_profile (destructiveHint, idempotentHint)
- pass `tools.token_cost`: about 559 tokens to load every tool
- pass `tools.api_dump`: tools are not a one-to-one API dump

### stability: 100 (weight 15)

- pass `stability.changes`: no tool changes in 30 days
- pass `stability.rug_pull`: no tool changed its meaning under the same name

### dependencies: n/a (weight 15)

- n/a `deps.known_vulns`, `deps.mcp_sdk_version`, `deps.resolvable`: no npm or PyPI package

- tools: 3, about 559 tokens to load them all
- tool set hash: 0d0b2ea6e300452ca583c3999f06831d
- badge: [![protogrid quality](https://protogrid.dev/badge/com.verticalweather/vertical-weather.svg)](https://protogrid.dev/servers/com.verticalweather/vertical-weather)
- Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed.

## Tools (3)

- `get_atmospheric_profile`: Wind, temperature, pressure, humidity and air density at chosen heights above a point.

        Each level has wind_u_ms (towards east), wind_v_ms (towards north), wind_speed_ms,
        wind_direction_deg (where the wind comes FROM, clockwise from north; 0 at zero speed
        means calm), temperature_k, pressure_pa, specific_humidity_kg_kg, relative_humidity_pct
        and density_kg_m3. valid_time is the model time actually used; provenance names the
        GFS run and grid point. Heights outside the model column are refused with the range
        that is available.
        
- `get_capabilities`: Current coverage (time range, heights, fields) and usage limits. No API key needed.
- `get_usage`: Today's data-fetch count and remaining daily allowance for the caller's account (UTC day).
