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-opensensemap what's the air quality in Munich right now?"
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.
openSenseMap MCP — citizen-science environmental sensor network (opensensemap.org)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tool | Description |
| Find citizen science sensor stations (senseBox, openSenseMap network) near a lat/lon and return their latest readings — hyperlocal temperature, humidity, air pressure, PM2.5/PM10 air quality, illuminance, UV, noise. Answers "sensor readings near me", "what does the local air quality sensor say". Community-operated uncalibrated hardware: quality varies, so cross-check outliers. Filter to one measurement type with |
| Get one openSenseMap citizen science sensor station (senseBox) by its box id — full sensor readout with latest value, unit, and measurement time per sensor (temperature, humidity, PM2.5/PM10 air quality, pressure, noise...), plus location, exposure (outdoor/indoor/mobile) and station metadata. Box ids come from opensensemap_nearby. Community-operated uncalibrated sensors. Example: opensensemap_box({ box_id: "65e8d93acbf5700007f920ca" }) |
| Average one phenomenon across all citizen science sensors (openSenseMap / senseBox network) in an area — hyperlocal neighborhood-level temperature, PM2.5/PM10 air quality, humidity, pressure or noise from many independent community stations. Give either a bounding box or a center point + radius_km. Aggregates the latest reading per sensor over the recent window client-side (the network has no fast server-side aggregation). |
