Weather MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides weather information and alerts for US locations using the National Weather Service (NWS) API. This server is designed to be used by AI agents through the Model Context Protocol.
Features
- Tool for getting weather alerts for any US state
- Tool for getting detailed weather forecasts for any US location using coordinates
- Supports temperature, wind conditions, and short forecast descriptions
- Real-time data from the National Weather Service
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- npm or yarn package manager
Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/akaramanapp/weather-mcp-server.git
cd weather-mcp-server
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Build the application:
npm run build
MCP Tools
The server provides two MCP tools that can be used by AI agents:
get-alerts
Get weather alerts for a specific US state.
Parameters:
state: Two-letter state code (e.g., CA, NY)
Example response:
{
"content": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Active alerts for CA: ..."
}
]
}
get-forecast
Get weather forecast for a specific location using coordinates.
Parameters:
latitude: Latitude of the location (-90 to 90)longitude: Longitude of the location (-180 to 180)
Example response:
{
"content": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Morning: Temperature: 72Β°F, Wind: 5mph NW, Partly cloudy..."

- ES2022 target with Node16 module resolution
Development
To modify or extend the server:
- Make changes in the
src/index.tsfile - Rebuild the application:
npm run build
Dependencies
- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: MCP server implementation framework
- zod: Runtime type checking and validation for tool parameters

Notes
- This server only works for US locations as it uses the National Weather Service API
- API requests are rate-limited and require a User-Agent header
- All coordinates should be in decimal degrees format
- This is not a standalone CLI application, but rather a server that provides tools for AI agents through the Model Context Protocol
