Weather MCP Server

🌦️ Weather MCP Server Demo

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible server that provides weather information using Ollama's LLM capabilities. This server exposes a get-weather tool that can be used by MCP clients to retrieve weather information for any city.

🛠 Prerequisites

Node.js v18+
Ollama installed and running locally
Ollama model: llama3 (or configure your preferred model)

🚀 Complete Setup & Installation

✅ Step 1: Clone and Install

git clone https://github.com/codewith1984/weather-mcp-server-typescript.git
cd weather-mcp-server
npm install

⚙️ Step 2: Setup Environment

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

####Edit the .env file to contain: OLLAMA_API_URL=http://localhost:11434/api/generate OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3

🤖 Step 3: Install and Setup Ollama

# Install Ollama (if not already installed)
# Visit https://ollama.com/ for installation instructions

# Start Ollama service
ollama serve

# In another terminal, pull the model
ollama pull llama3

# Verify Ollama is working
curl http://localhost:11434/api/version

Step 4: Test Ollama Connection

# Test if Ollama can generate responses
curl http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{
  "model": "llama3",
  "prompt": "Hello world",
  "stream": false
}'

Step 5: Run Diagnostics

# Run diagnostic to check if everything is working
npm run diagnose

🎯 Running the MCP Server

Start the Server

npm start

Expected output:

🚀 MCP Weather Server starting... 📡 Ollama URL: http://localhost:11434/api/generate 🤖 Model: llama3 ✅ MCP Server connected and ready!

🔍 Testing with MCP Inspector

Method 1: CLI Inspector

# Install MCP Inspector globally
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# Run inspector
mcp-inspector

# Follow the web interface instructions

⚙️ Configuration

Environment Variables (.env file)

OLLAMA_API_URL=http://localhost:11434/api/generate
OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3

Performance Tuning

The server is optimized for quick responses:

15-second timeout for HTTP requests Aggressive Ollama parameters for faster generation Fallback from HTTP API to CLI if needed

##🔧 Troubleshooting

Quick Diagnosis

# Run the diagnostic script
npm run diagnose

Common Issues & Solutions

Issue: "Request timed out" errors

# Check if Ollama is running
ps aux | grep ollama

# Start Ollama if not running
ollama serve

# Check if model is available
ollama list | grep llama3

# If model not found, pull it
ollama pull llama3

Issue: "Request timed out" errors

# Check if Ollama is running
ps aux | grep ollama

# Start Ollama if not running
ollama serve

# Check if model is available
ollama list | grep llama3

# If model not found, pull it
ollama pull llama3

Issue: "Model not found" errors

# List available models
ollama list

# Pull the required model
ollama pull llama3

# Or try a smaller model for faster responses
ollama pull llama3:8b

Issue: Connection errors

# Verify Ollama is accessible
curl http://localhost:11434/api/version

# Check if port 11434 is open
netstat -an | grep 11434

# Restart Ollama service
pkill ollama
ollama serve

Issue: MCP Inspector connection fails

# Make sure your server is running
npm start

# Check the working directory path is correct
pwd

# Verify tsx is available
npm list tsx

Performance Tips

# Use a smaller model for faster responses
ollama pull llama3:8b

# Update .env to use the smaller model
echo "OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3:8b" >> .env

# Monitor system resources
top -p $(pgrep ollama)
