Key features
- 01Fetches forecasts by latitude and longitude
- 02Uses the National Weather Service API
- 03Supports locations in the United States
Use cases

MCP support
The server provides weather forecasts from the National Weather Service API to MCP clients; it supports U.S. locations.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

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.
