DWD MCP Server

A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude Desktop to the Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) API for German weather data.

Features

  • Simple, lightweight Node.js implementation
  • No dependencies beyond the MCP SDK
  • Easy to set up and use
  • Access to DWD weather station data and warnings

Quick Start

  1. Make the setup script executable:

    chmod +x setup.sh

  2. Run the setup script:

    ./setup.sh

  3. Restart Claude Desktop

  4. Start using the DWD data in your conversations with Claude!

Available Tools

get_station_data

Get current weather data for specific DWD weather stations.

Example usage in Claude:

Can you check the current weather for station 10865 (Berlin-Tegel)?
get_nowcast_warnings

Get current nowcast weather warnings in Germany.

Example usage in Claude:

Are there any current weather warnings in Germany? Can you check using the DWD API?

Finding Station IDs

The DWD API requires specific station IDs. You can find these at:

Common station IDs:

  • 10381: Berlin-Brandenburg
  • 10865: Berlin-Tegel
  • 10147: Hamburg
  • 10637: Köln-Bonn
  • 10870: Munich

Manual Setup

If the setup script doesn't work for you, you can manually configure Claude Desktop:

  1. Install dependencies:

    npm install

  2. Create or edit ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "dwd": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/full/path/to/dwd-server.js"
      ]
    }
  }
}

  3. Restart Claude Desktop

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure Node.js 18+ is installed
  • Check if the MCP server is running properly: node dwd-server.js
  • Verify the path in claude_desktop_config.json is correct
  • Restart Claude Desktop after configuration changes

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.
