Weather MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides weather information services using the National Weather Service (NWS) API. This server implements a set of tools that can be used by AI models to fetch weather alerts and forecasts for locations in the United States.

Features

• Weather Alerts: Get active weather alerts for any US state using a two-letter state code

• Weather Forecast: Get detailed weather forecasts for any location in the US using latitude and longitude coordinates

• MCP Integration: Implements the Model Context Protocol for seamless integration with AI models

• TypeScript: Written in TypeScript for type safety and better developer experience

Installation

npm install
npm run build

Usage

This server is designed to be used as a CLI tool and can be installed globally:

npm install -g .
weather

The server runs on stdio and provides two main tools:

1. Get Weather Alerts

Retrieves active weather alerts for a specified US state.

Retrieves weather forecast for a specific location using coordinates.

Example parameters:

{
  "latitude": 37.7749,
  "longitude": -122.4194
}
