MCP server
Environmental tools for AI agents

Amentum's Model Context Protocol server lets AI agents query ocean, atmosphere, geomagnetic, gravity, and aviation radiation data through standard tool calls. It gives agent workflows access to the same model-backed data available through Amentum's production web APIs.

Use MCP when an agent needs to choose the right environmental dataset, call the relevant tool, and return a result grounded in deterministic backend data rather than generated guesses.

production data

Tool responses come from Amentum APIs for ocean, atmosphere, geomagnetic, gravity, and aviation radiation services.

schema-driven tools

Standard MCP clients can discover available tools, required inputs, parameter types, and structured responses.

API subscription

MCP access is included with API subscription. The same API key is used for web API and MCP access.

mcp or api?

  • APIs: a developer writes the workflow, chooses endpoints, maps parameters, and handles responses.
  • MCP: an agent reads tool schemas, decides what to call and when, then uses the same production APIs behind the scenes.

MCP does not replace APIs. It enables agent-driven use of the same scientific services that your software can already call directly.

Architecture: User / Agent → LLM → Amentum MCP server → Amentum APIs.

example agent tasks

marine routing

Input: "Plan a lower-risk route from Brisbane to Noumea for the next 48 hours."

Tools invoked: wave forecast, ocean currents, bathymetry.

Result: route notes with wave exposure, current assistance, and shallow-water warnings.

aviation radiation

Input: "Estimate radiation exposure for SYD to LAX at cruise altitude today."

Tools invoked: aviation radiation dose along flight path.

Result: dose estimate with flight context and the model inputs used.

bathymetry lookup

Input: "What is the ocean depth at 33.86 S, 151.21 E?"

Tool invoked: GEBCO bathymetry.

Result: water depth from the Amentum bathymetry API, returned as structured fields.
