Weather Israel MCP Server

🌤️ Weather Israel — Agentic MCP Server with Browser Automation

An AI-powered weather assistant that autonomously controls a browser to fetch real-time Israeli weather forecasts using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Playwright.

Python MCP Playwright Gemini


📌 Overview

This project implements a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server that gives an LLM autonomous browser control capabilities. Instead of relying on a traditional weather API, the system opens a real browser, navigates to an Israeli weather website, searches for a city, and extracts the live forecast — just like a human would.

The LLM (Gemini 2.5 Flash) acts as the orchestrating agent, deciding which tools to invoke and in what sequence, creating a fully autonomous agentic pipeline.

Why is this interesting?

  • No API needed — scrapes data directly from the web using browser automation

  • Agentic architecture — the LLM decides which tools to call and when

  • MCP standard — uses Anthropic's open protocol for tool communication

  • RAG pattern — extracts page content and feeds it back to the LLM for reasoning

🎯 Project Goals

  • Implement a custom MCP Server from scratch

  • Use Playwright to add browser automation capabilities to an LLM

  • Demonstrate agentic tool-calling with multi-step orchestration

  • Build a complete RAG pipeline — retrieve data → augment context → generate response

Tool

Description

1

open_weather_forecast_israel()

Launches Chromium and navigates to the weather website

2

enter_weather_forecast_city_israel(city)

Types the city name into the search field using keyboard simulation

3

select_weather_forecast_city_israel()

Clicks the first autocomplete result from the dropdown

4

get_weather_page_content()

Extracts and cleans the visible text from the forecast page


⚡ Prerequisites

  • Python 3.13 or higher

  • uv package manager (pip install uv)

  • Gemini API Key from Google AI Studio


📦 Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/yael3222664-alt/MCP.git
cd MCP

2. Install dependencies

uv sync

3. Install Chromium for Playwright

uv run playwright install chromium

4. Configure environment variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here

Get your free API key at Google AI Studio


🚀 Running the Application

💬 Example Queries & Output

Query:

מה מזג האוויר בבני ברק?

Agent Actions:

[Calling tool weather_Israel__open_weather_forecast_israel with args {}]
[Calling tool weather_Israel__enter_weather_forecast_city_israel with args {'city': 'בני ברק'}]
[Calling tool weather_Israel__select_weather_forecast_city_israel with args {}]
[Calling tool weather_Israel__get_weather_page_content with args {}]

Response:

The current temperature in Bnei Brak is 30°C with wind speed of 15 km/h 
and gusts up to 37 km/h from the west. Humidity is at 52%.

Hourly forecast for today:
• 14:00 — 30°C, humidity 52%, wind 15 km/h
• 15:00 — 30°C, humidity 52%, wind 15 km/h
• 16:00 — 29°C, humidity 54%, wind 14 km/h

מה התחזית לחיפה?
How's the weather in Tel Aviv today?
What are the weather alerts in California?  (uses USA tools)

� How It Works — Step by Step

  1. User asks a question"What's the weather in Tel Aviv?"

  2. Gemini analyzes the query and identifies the required tools

  3. Tool 1 → Playwright opens a headless Chromium browser and navigates to the weather site

  4. Tool 2 → Playwright types the city name into the search field (character by character to trigger autocomplete)

  5. Tool 3 → Playwright clicks the first matching result in the dropdown

  6. Tool 4 → Playwright extracts all visible text from the forecast page

  7. Gemini receives the raw page content and formulates a clean, structured answer

  8. User gets a natural language response with temperature, wind, humidity, and hourly forecast


🧠 Key Design Decisions

  • Keyboard simulation (keyboard.type()) instead of fill() — triggers the website's JavaScript autocomplete

  • Direct REST API calls to Gemini with httpx(verify=False) — bypasses SSL issues in restricted network environments

  • Global browser state — shared between tool calls so the same page instance persists across the multi-step workflow

  • Graceful error handling — each tool validates state and returns clear error messages


🐛 Troubleshooting

Solution

uv: command not found

Use python -m uv instead of uv
