MCP Weather Server

A lightweight, self‑hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes your weather‑forecast API as MCP tools.
This allows LLMs and agent frameworks to call your weather data directly through a standardized interface.

Clients run this server inside their own environment and connect it to their preferred MCP‑compatible LLM (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).

🚀 Features

• MCP‑compatible WebSocket server

• Tools for:

  • Current weather by latitude/longitude

  • Multi‑day forecast

• JSON Schema–validated tool inputs

• Simple configuration via environment variables

• No external dependencies required to run the server (beyond Node.js)

• Ready for Docker, CI, and cloud deployment

🛠️ Requirements

• Node.js 20+

• A valid API key for your weather service

• Access to your weather API base URL

⚙️ Configuration

Copy the example environment file:

bash cp .env.example .env

Then edit `.env`:

WEATHER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here WEATHER_API_URL=https://api.yourweather.com PORT=3001 LOG_LEVEL=info

▶️ Running the Server

Development mode

🔒 Security Notes

• Host this server inside your network or VPC

• Protect access with firewall rules or mTLS if exposing externally

• Rotate API keys regularly

• Avoid exposing your weather API key in logs or client‑side code
