About Climate
Climate is an MCP server for retrieving Open-Meteo temperature and precipitation projections for locations from 1950 to 2050. It also compares model outputs to help researchers and analysts examine climate projections and model uncertainty.
Key features
- 01Historical and future climate projections
- 02Daily temperature and precipitation data
- 03Compare temperature across climate models
Use cases
- 01Review projected climate conditions for a location
- 02Assess agreement between climate models
MCP support
Exposes climate projection and model-comparison tools to MCP clients. It can run as a local stdio MCP server or connect through the Pipeworx gateway.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Climate MCP — wraps Open-Meteo Climate API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1875+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_climate_projection | Get historical and future temperature and precipitation projections for a location (1950–2050). Returns daily forecasts with temperature, precipitation, and weather conditions. |
compare_models | Compare temperature projections across climate models for the same location and date range. Returns side-by-side daily mean temperatures to assess model agreement and uncertainty. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"climate": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/climate/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/climate/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1875+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_climate_projection \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"latitude":40.7128,"longitude":-74.006,"start_date":"2020-01-01","end_date":"2020-12-31"}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_climate_projection. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"climate": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-climate"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-climate
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Climate data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
