Once connected, Claude can:

• Answer questions about current weather conditions

• Provide detailed weather forecasts

• Alert users to severe weather warnings

• Make recommendations based on weather data

• fetch all added products

• add a product to the catalog (name, description, price, quantity)

• fetch a product by id
