Swath API
Radar-verified hail and wind swaths mapped to affected properties
Overview
What Swath API does
Swath API reads NOAA MRMS radar to detect hail and damaging-wind swaths across the continental United States, then matches each swath to the properties inside it, with hail size measured at each address and an exposure score attached. A single address can also be looked up for assessed value, year of construction, an estimated roof age and whether the owner occupies it. Standing monitors watch a territory and fire email alerts and signed webhooks once a storm is radar-verified, and a swath footprint can be rendered as a map. The publisher states that homeowner names, phone numbers and emails are out of scope. Sign-in is by email, with a free monthly credit allowance and self-serve paid plans.
Tool surface
The listing names its seven tools outright, but the endpoint still answers 401, so none of them were exercised and the names are the publisher's account of the surface.
Availability
Where Swath API is listed
Swath API is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. VIBECODEBEAST has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Swath API publishes 7 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 33.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 5 tools below its bucket's median, 129th of 198.
It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory.
Swath API publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Swath API is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
How VIBECODEBEAST describes it
Swath API gives Claude radar-verified storm intelligence for the continental United States. It ingests NOAA MRMS radar data to detect hail and damaging-wind swaths as they happen, then maps each swath to the properties inside it — so you can go from "did it hail in Plano last night?" to a ranked list of affected addresses in one conversation. Seven tools: find_storms (search verified hail/wind events by place, date, or severity), get_swath_report (every property inside a storm swath with the hail size measured at each address and an exposure score), lookup_property (year built, roof-age estimate, owner-occupancy, and assessed value for one address), create_monitor and list_monitors (standing watches over your territory with email alerts and signed webhooks the moment a storm is radar-verified), show_swath_map (the swath footprint as a map), and get_usage (your credit balance). Built for roofing and restoration sales, insurance claims, real-estate diligence, and any workflow that needs ground truth about severe weather — measured by radar, never forecast. Data scope is deliberately compliance-friendly: property attributes and owner-occupancy status, never homeowner names, phone numbers, or emails. Remote server — nothing to install. Connect and sign in with just your email; the free tier includes 100 credits per month, and paid plans with higher allowances are self-serve at swathapi.com.
