Official endpoint
Operated by Usgs Water MCP Server (caseyjhand.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed

Scanned before it goes live

Watched for drift
If Usgs Water MCP Server adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
