# Xweather Renewable MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Xweather Renewable MCP gives your AI agent direct access to professional weather intelligence and renewable energy farm data from the Vaisala Xweather API. It lets your agent pull real-time conditions, 15-day forecasts, and solar or wind measurements for site assessments and production planning. ## Overview - **Category:** the-unthinkable - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/undefined/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** meteorology, renewable-energy, solar-irradiance, wind-measurement, forecast-data, environmental-intelligence ## Description Imagine you're trying to figure out if a specific plot of land in Nevada is actually viable for a new solar farm. Usually, that means digging through different weather archives, checking regional wind patterns, and trying to guess how much power a site might actually pump out during a storm. This Connector changes that by putting professional-grade weather data right into your AI's hands. Instead of manual data gathering, your agent can pull specific solar irradiance measurements, check wind gust speeds for turbine siting, or look up historical observations to validate your models. It's about getting the right numbers for your energy yield calculations without the headache of switching between tabs. If you're already using the Vinkius catalog to manage your tools, this is the one you grab when you need to move from guessing to knowing about renewable energy production. It handles everything from severe weather alerts to detailed 15-day outlooks, making it a powerhouse for anyone building out the grid or trading energy. ## Tools ### get_weather_alerts Get weather alerts and advisories for a location.

You can have your agent monitor for severe weather alerts in real-time to help protect your renewable energy infrastructure from damage. **What kind of wind data does the Xweather Renewable MCP provide?** It provides detailed wind speed, direction, and gust measurements, which are essential for evaluating turbine performance and farm siting. **Is this suitable for energy trading models?** It is highly suitable. It provides the 10-day production forecasts and real-time weather data that traders need to make informed decisions. **What weather and renewable energy data is available through the Xweather API?** The Xweather API provides: current conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, solar radiation), forecasts up to 15 days, historical weather observations, solar irradiance data (GHI, DNI, DHI) for PV assessment, wind speed/direction measurements, renewable energy farm power output data for US/Canada sites, weather alerts and advisories, and location search capabilities. **How do I get Xweather API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)?** Visit https://www.xweather.com/ and sign up for an Xweather Flex subscription. Once your account is provisioned, navigate to your developer dashboard to create an application and obtain your Client ID and Client Secret. These credentials authenticate your API requests and are tied to your subscription plan. The Renewables Add-on is required for energy farm data access. **What location formats are supported for weather queries?** The API accepts multiple location formats: city names (e.g., 'Chicago,IL'), latitude/longitude coordinates (e.g., '41.88,-87.63'), weather station IDs, postal codes, and ICAO airport codes. You can also use the searchPlaces tool to find valid location identifiers or the getClosestStation tool to find the nearest weather station to any coordinates. **How far ahead can the Xweather forecast predict?** Xweather provides detailed weather forecasts up to 15 days ahead. Short-term forecasts (1-7 days) are the most accurate, with gradually decreasing accuracy for longer horizons. The forecast includes temperature, weather conditions, wind, precipitation, and solar radiation data — all essential for renewable energy production planning.
