Category Maps and Location
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security63
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS enforcement could not be verified: the plaintext port answered with HTTP 405, which proves neither a plaintext path nor enforcement. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 610 tokens (~152/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management17
- Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 4 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.
- 2 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
compare_lakes Compare lake levels ~105
Current levels of 2 to 10 US lakes side by side, read live from their gauges: elevation, feet below full pool, percent full, seasonal target and 24 h / 7 day / 30 day change, ranked by distance below full pool. A lake whose gauge is down is reported with its error instead of failing the whole call.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lakes | array | yes | Slugs or names, for example ["lake-mead", "lake-powell"]. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_lake_history Get lake level history ~155
Daily (or weekly) water elevation series for a US lake or reservoir over the last 2 to 365 days, from the same government gauge as get_lake_level, one reading per day. Includes first, last, low, high and mean with dates. Use it for trends, drawdown and refill questions.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| days | integer | – | Days back from today, 2 to 365. Default 90. |
| lake | string | yes | Lake slug from search_lakes (for example "lake-mead") or a lake name (for example "Lake Travis"). |
| step | string | – | daily = one point per day; weekly = every 7th day ending today. Stats always use every day. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_lake_level Get current lake level ~139
Current water surface elevation (ft above sea level) of a US lake or reservoir, read now from its government gauge (USGS, USACE CWMS, CDEC, Reclamation or TWDB). Returns the measurement time, change over 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, feet below full pool, the operator seasonal target where one is published, percent full where the agency publishes storage, and the gauge id and data URL. Your training data cannot know today's level.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lake | string | yes | Lake slug from search_lakes (for example "lake-mead") or a lake name (for example "Lake Travis"). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_lakes Search US lakes and reservoirs ~134
List the 44 US lakes and reservoirs this server reads live (Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Lake Travis, Shasta, Oroville, Lanier, Texoma, Kentucky Lake and more) by name, river, operator or state. Returns each slug, full-pool elevation, the gauge agency and the lakelevelnow.com page. Call with no arguments to list them all.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | – | Words from the lake, river or dam name, for example "travis" or "colorado river". |
| state | string | – | Two-letter state code (TX) or full state name (Texas). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
How do I install the Lake Level MCP server?
Lake Level MCP is a hosted endpoint at https://lake-level-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the Lake Level MCP server?
Lake Level MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.theluckystrike/lake-level-mcp. Live US lake and reservoir water levels from USGS, USACE, CDEC, USBR and TWDB gauges. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://lake-level-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp).
Is the Lake Level MCP server safe to use?
Lake Level MCP scores 69 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Lake Level MCP server expose?
Lake Level MCP exposes 4 tools: search_lakes, get_lake_level, get_lake_history, compare_lakes. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 533 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Lake Level MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Lake Level MCP without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Lake Level MCP server still maintained?
Lake Level MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
