AEMET-MCP. Integration via MCP with the AEMET API
LocalAbout AEMET-MCP. Integration via MCP with the AEMET API
AEMET-MCP connects MCP-compatible clients to Spain’s AEMET weather API for historical climate data and meteorological information. Its tools cover station records, monthly summaries, beach conditions, and rainfall analysis.
Key features
- 01Query historical daily weather values
- 02Retrieve station climate summaries
- 03Filter by date and station code
- 04Check beach conditions and UV indices
- 05Analyze municipal rainfall history
Use cases
- 01Review historical rainfall for a municipality
- 02Check beach UV conditions
- 03Find stations near coordinates
MCP support
The MCP server exposes tools and a rainfall-analysis prompt that let compatible clients query data from AEMET weather stations in Spain. Responses are provided in JSON format.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEAEMET-MCP. Integration via MCP with the AEMET API
DESCRIPTION
AEMET is the State Meteorological Agency of Spain.
Aemet-mcp allows you to retrieve historical climate data and meteorological information from the AEMET API directly from Claude AI and other MCP compatible clients, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Aemet-mcp is an MCP server that exposes tools enabling LLMs to query data from weather stations across Spain.
It includes secure handling of API keys and resource JSON files for using supporting data.
KEY FEATURES
- Query for historical daily values (temperature, wind, precipitation, etc.)
- Access to monthly climate summaries by station.
- Filtering by year, month, and AEMET station code.
- Query beach conditions, including ultraviolet radiation indices.
- Rainfall data analysis prompt for Spanish municipalities with historical precipitation data
- Responses ready for use in JSON format.
INSTALLATION
Installing via Smithery
To install AEMET Weather Data Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @AnCode666/aemet-mcp --client claude
Install with uv
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher.
- uv package manager.
Installing uv
The first step is to install uv, a package manager for Python.
It can be installed from the command line.
On macOS and Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
On Windows:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
You can also install it with pip:
pip install uv
For more information about installing uv, visit the uv documentation.
Install with Docker
You can also run AEMET-MCP using Docker:
Prerequisites
- Docker installed on your system
Steps
- Build the Docker image:
docker build -t aemet-mcp .
- Run the container:
docker run -e AEMET_API_KEY=YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY aemet-mcp
Replace YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY with your actual API key from AEMET.
Integration with Claude Desktop using Docker
To use the Docker version with Claude Desktop, add this configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:
"aemet_mcp_docker": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e", "AEMET_API_KEY=YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY",
"aemet-mcp"
]
}
INTEGRATION WITH CLIENTS LIKE CLAUDE DESKTOP
Once uv is installed, you can use the MCP server from any compatible client such as Claude for Desktop, in which case the steps to follow are:
- Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config >
claude_desktop_config.json - Add the following block inside
"mcpServers":
"aemet_mcp_": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"aemet_mcp"
],
"env": {
"AEMET_API_KEY": "YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY"
}
}
- Get a free API key from AEMET at: https://opendata.aemet.es/centrodedescargas/altaUsuario
- Replace
YOUR_AEMET_API_KEYwith your actual API key (leave the quotes). - If you already have another MCP server configured, separate each with a comma
,.
In general, to integrate it into any other MCP-compatible client such as Cursor, CODEGPT, or Roo Code, simply go to the MCP server configuration of your client and add the same code block.
USAGE EXAMPLES
Once properly configured, you can ask things like:
- "What's the weather like in Seville?"
- "Give me a list of the beaches in the province of Málaga"
- "Tell me the radiation levels at Maspalomas beach for tomorrow"
- "Give me the historical rainfall data for Albacete between January 1st, 2020 and February 1st, 2020"
- "Give me a list of the weather stations within a 50 km radius from the coordinates lat:40.4165, lon:-3.70256"
Rainfall Data Analysis
The server includes a specialized prompt for analyzing historical precipitation data for Spanish municipalities. Use the obtener_datos_lluvia_municipio prompt with:
obtener_datos_lluvia_municipio("Madrid", "2023-01-01", "2023-12-31")
This prompt provides structured guidance for meteorological analysis, including:
- Municipality code search and validation
- Nearest weather station identification
- Historical precipitation data retrieval
- Statistical analysis and trend identification
- Climate pattern analysis with seasonal variations
- Data visualization recommendations

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
