About MCP Weather Server
MCP Weather Server is a small server for retrieving current weather for a location. It is intended for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients, and uses wttr.in without requiring an API key.
Key features
- 01Retrieve current weather by location
- 02Uses the wttr.in weather API
- 03Requires no API key
Use cases
- 01Check current conditions in a city
- 02Ask an MCP client for a location’s temperature
- 03Find out whether it is raining at a location
MCP support
Exposes a `get_weather` tool that MCP clients can use to retrieve current conditions from wttr.in.
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.
Details
From the project READMEMCP Weather Server
A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides weather information for any location.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized way for AI applications and agents to connect with data sources and tools. It allows AI models like Claude to interact with your local system, external services, and custom tools through a standardized interface.
Features
- Get current weather information for any location
- Compatible with Claude Desktop and other MCP clients
- Uses the free wttr.in weather API (no API key required)
Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd mcp-weather-server
# Install dependencies
npm install
Usage
Running the server
node index.js
Connecting to Claude Desktop
- Open Claude Desktop
- Go to Settings > MCP Servers
- Add a new server
- Select "Custom" and enter the path to your server executable
- Set the command to:
node /Users/le-yo/CascadeProjects/mcp-weather-server/index.js - Save and restart Claude Desktop
Example prompts for Claude
Once connected, you can ask Claude to use the weather tool:
- "What's the current weather in New York?"
- "Tell me the temperature in London right now."
- "Is it raining in Tokyo?"
How it works
This server implements the Model Context Protocol to provide a tool that fetches weather data from the wttr.in API. When Claude or another MCP client connects to this server, they can use the get_weather tool to retrieve current weather conditions for any location.
Extending the server
You can extend this server by:
- Adding more weather-related tools (forecast, historical data, etc.)
- Implementing other MCP features like resources or prompts
- Using a different weather API with more features

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.
