Weather Forecast MCP Server & Agent

A complete implementation of a weather forecast MCP (Model Context Protocol) server with a Databricks Agent Bricks agent integration.

Overview

This project demonstrates how to build and deploy:

1. Weather MCP Server - FastMCP server exposing weather forecast tools

2. Agent Bricks Integration - An intelligent agent that uses the MCP server to answer weather questions

The weather data comes from Open-Meteo, a free weather API requiring no signup or API key.

Files

Weather MCP Server

• weather_broker.py - Weather API adapter (HTTP calls to Open-Meteo)

• weather_mcp_server.py - FastMCP server with 3 tools

• app.yaml - Databricks App deployment config

• requirements.txt - Python dependencies

Agent Configuration

• weather_agent.py - Agent Bricks agent configuration

MCP Tools

The server exposes 3 tools:

1. get_current_weather(location: str)

Get current weather conditions for any location.

Example:

get_current_weather("Chicago")
# Returns: temperature, feels_like, humidity, wind, conditions, etc.

2. get_forecast(location: str, days: int = 7)

Get multi-day weather forecast (1-16 days).

Example:

get_forecast("Austin", days=5)
# Returns: daily forecasts with high/low temps, precipitation, conditions

3. predict_umbrella_needed(location: str, date: Optional[str] = None)

Make a recommendation about needing an umbrella.

Example:

predict_umbrella_needed("Seattle", "2026-08-15")
# Returns: YES/NO/MAYBE recommendation with reasoning

Deployment

Step 1: Deploy the MCP Server

# From the workspace CLI or notebook
databricks apps create weather_mcp \
  --source-path /Workspace/Users/your-email@example.com/weather_mcp

Step 2: Get the App URL

databricks apps get weather_mcp
# Note the URL, e.g., https://dbc-xxxxx.cloud.databricks.com/apps/weather_mcp

Step 3: Configure the Agent

Edit weather_agent.py and set WEATHER_MCP_URL to your deployed app URL:

MCP_SERVER_URL = "https://dbc-xxxxx.cloud.databricks.com/apps/weather_mcp"

Step 4: Deploy the Agent

The agent can be deployed as another Databricks App or used directly in notebooks.

Testing

Test the MCP Server Locally

# In a notebook
import weather_broker

# Test current weather
weather_broker.get_current_weather("San Francisco")

# Test forecast
weather_broker.get_forecast("New York", days=3)

Test the Agent

from weather_agent import create_weather_agent

agent = create_weather_agent()

# Ask weather questions
response = agent.chat("What's the weather like in Chicago right now?")
print(response)

response = agent.chat("Will it rain in Austin this weekend?")
print(response)

response = agent.chat("Should I bring a jacket to Seattle tomorrow?")
print(response)

Example Queries

The agent can handle natural language questions like:

• "What's the temperature in Los Angeles?"

• "Will it rain in Seattle tomorrow?"

• "Should I bring an umbrella to Chicago this weekend?"

• "Give me a 5-day forecast for New York"

• "What's the weather like in Austin compared to Dallas?"

• "Is it going to be hot in Phoenix next week?"

Weather Data Source

This implementation uses Open-Meteo:

• ✓ Free, no API key required

• ✓ ~10,000 calls/day for non-commercial use

• ✓ Current conditions + 16-day forecasts

• ✓ Global coverage

• ✓ Temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, sunrise/sunset

Extending

Add More Tools

To add new weather-related tools:

1. Add a function to weather_broker.py to fetch the data

2. Decorate a new tool function in weather_mcp_server.py with @mcp.tool

3. Update the agent instructions to describe when to use the new tool

Switch to a Different Weather API

To use a different weather API:

1. Replace the API calls in weather_broker.py

2. If the API requires authentication, add secret management

3. Update app.yaml with any needed environment variables

4. Keep the same function signatures so the MCP tools don't change
