KNMI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Dutch weather data via the KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) API.

Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants and applications to access comprehensive Dutch weather information, including current conditions, forecasts, alerts, and historical data. It automatically handles location name resolution, converting human-readable Dutch city names into KNMI grid identifiers.
