A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with an interactive React UI for fetching weather data. Works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client.

## Features

- **Current Weather** - Real-time temperature, feels-like, humidity, wind speed/direction
- **Hourly Forecast** - 24-hour forecast with weather icons
- **7-Day Forecast** - Daily high/low temperatures and conditions
- **Air Quality** - US AQI, PM2.5, PM10, and ozone levels
- **Unit Toggle** - Switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit
- **Dual Transport** - Works with stdio (Claude Desktop) and HTTP (ChatGPT)
- **Rate Limiting** - 100/hour, 1000/day, 30000/month

## Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd weather-mcp-app

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build
```

## Quick Start

### Claude Desktop (Stdio)

```bash
# Run with stdio transport
npm run start:stdio
```

### ChatGPT (HTTP)

```bash
# Run HTTP server (listens on http://localhost:3001/mcp)
npm run start

# Or in development with hot reload
npm run dev
```

## Configuration

### Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop settings (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather-mcp-app": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "weather-mcp-app", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}
```

Or if running locally:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather-mcp-app": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/weather-mcp-app/dist/main.js", "--stdio"]
    }
  }
}
```

### ChatGPT

Use the HTTP endpoint: `http://localhost:3001/mcp`

## Usage

### Tool: `get_weather`

```
name: get_weather
description: Get current weather, hourly forecast, 7-day forecast, and air quality for a city name or zip code.
```
