About MCP Weather Server

MCP Weather Server lets large language models access real-time weather data through the AccuWeather API. Once integrated with an LLM, it can fetch accurate, up-to-date forecasts: hourly weather for the next 12 hours and daily forecasts for up to 15 days, in metric or imperial units, including temperature, conditions, and precipitation details. It is published as an npm package and runs over stdio for clients like Claude Desktop, with optional HTTP/SSE access through supergateway.

Tools & capabilities (2)

weather-get_hourly

Provides hourly weather forecasts for the next 12 hours. Parameters: location (required, city or location name); units (optional, 'metric' for Celsius (default) or 'imperial' for Fahrenheit).

weather-get_daily

Provides daily weather forecasts for up to 15 days. Parameters: location (required, city or location name); days (optional, number of forecast days — 1, 5, 10, or 15; default 5); units (optional, 'metric' for Celsius (default) or 'imperial' for Fahrenheit).

When to use it

  • Ask an LLM for the hourly weather forecast for a given city
  • Get a multi-day (up to 15-day) daily forecast for a location
  • Check whether it will rain in a specific city tomorrow
  • Retrieve forecasts in either Celsius or Fahrenheit

Security notes

Requires an AccuWeather API key supplied via the ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY environment variable (free tier available). Keep your API key private and do not commit it to source control.

MCP Weather Server FAQ

Do I need an API key?

Yes. You need an AccuWeather API key, which has a free tier. Sign up at developer.accuweather.com, create an app to get your key, and provide it via the ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY environment variable.

How far ahead can it forecast?

Hourly forecasts cover the next 12 hours, and daily forecasts cover up to 15 days (selectable as 1, 5, 10, or 15 days).

Can I access it over HTTP instead of stdio?

Yes. The README shows how to expose it over HTTP/REST (SSE) using supergateway, wrapping the stdio server and serving it on a configurable port.
