MCP Weather Server — Demo
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Weather Server — Demowhat's the weather in Tokyo?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
MCP Weather Server — Demo
Demo project from the YouTube video: "What is MCP? Model Context Protocol Explained (2026)"
This is a minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server written in Python. It exposes two tools that an AI assistant can call:
Tool | Description |
| Returns weather data for a given city |
| Lists all cities with available data |
Prerequisites
Python 3.10 or higher
pip
Related MCP server: MCP Weather Server
Setup & Run
# 1. Clone or download this folder
cd demo/
# 2. (Optional) Create a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # macOS / Linux
.venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
# 3. Install the MCP SDK
pip install -r requirements.txt
# 4. Run the server
python weather_server.pyThe server starts and listens on stdio — it's ready for an MCP host (like Claude Desktop or a custom client) to connect.
Connect to Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"weather": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/full/path/to/demo/weather_server.py"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop. Then ask it:
"What's the weather in Tokyo?"
Claude will automatically call the get_weather tool and return:
🌍 Weather in Tokyo:
🌡️ Temperature: 18°C
☁️ Condition: Clear
💧 Humidity: 55%
💨 Wind: 10 km/h NEExtend to a Real Weather API
Replace the WEATHER_DATA dict with a live API call:
import httpx
async def fetch_live_weather(city: str) -> dict:
url = f"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather"
params = {"q": city, "appid": "YOUR_API_KEY", "units": "metric"}
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
resp = await client.get(url, params=params)
data = resp.json()
return {
"temp": data["main"]["temp"],
"condition": data["weather"][0]["description"].title(),
"humidity": data["main"]["humidity"],
"wind": f"{data['wind']['speed']} m/s"
