What you can do with this MCP connector
AccuWeather MCP Server hooks up your AI client to enterprise-grade weather intelligence, so you don't have to write complex API calls yourself. You get real-time conditions, 15-day forecasts, and safety alerts for any spot on the globe.
To use this thing, you gotta start by running search_location; it finds the specific internal location key you need before your agent can pull any data.
If you're checking current status, it pulls real-time temperature, humidity, and visibility using standard units via get_current_conditions. But if you're dealing with international clients, use get_current_conditions_metric; that gives you instant metrics like Celsius temperatures and wind speeds in km/h.
For planning ahead, the server delivers several forecast layers. You can get daily predictions using get_daily_forecast, which returns high and low temps, precipitation probability, and sun times across a standard five-day window. For rough, long-range planning, get_extended_forecast gives you up to 15 days out. If you need granular detail—like knowing exactly when the rain starts or when the temp dips—you run get_hourly_forecast, which delivers hour-by-hour data on changes in precipitation and temperature.
When it comes to safety, the system checks for active severe weather warnings; use get_weather_alarms if you need to know about current tornado or flood alerts. For planning outdoor time, the server handles activity indices. First, you call get_index_groups to list all available index categories—like health or garden—and then you run get_weather_indices to calculate suitability scores for activities like running, golf, and UV exposure based on current conditions.
Finally, if you already have a known AccuWeather key, the tool get_location_by_key verifies that location and pulls detailed administrative info directly from the key. This whole setup lets your agent handle everything from getting immediate metrics to building complex event plans, all without you needing to manage the underlying API structure.
How AccuWeather MCP Works
- 1 First, use
search_locationwith a general place name (e.g., 'Miami') to get the specific location key. - 2 Next, pass that retrieved location key into the desired function—like
get_current_conditions_metricfor instant data orget_daily_forecastfor planning. - 3 Your AI client gets back structured weather data (e.g., temperature, wind, probability) which it then summarizes for you.
The bottom line is: You don't write the complex API calls; your agent runs them using our specialized tools to get precise weather answers.
Who Is AccuWeather MCP For?
Anyone who needs reliable, structured weather data for planning—not just a simple forecast. This is for developers building systems that rely on accurate metrics: event management, logistics, or agriculture. If your job involves coordinating anything outdoors, you need this.
Needs to know if an outdoor festival will be impacted by sudden rain or high winds. They rely on get_weather_alarms and hourly data from get_hourly_forecast.
Requires 15-day outlooks for planting cycles. The extended range of get_extended_forecast lets them plan harvest timing months ahead.
Needs to know if crew members can safely work outside, checking UV exposure and wind speed using get_weather_indices before dispatching teams.
What Changes When You Connect
- You get detailed hourly data via
get_hourly_forecast. This means your agent knows exactly when rain starts or when temperatures peak—not just that it's 'rainy.' - The server includes specialized safety tools. Running
get_weather_alarmsgives you immediate access to severe alerts (hurricanes, floods) without having to check multiple government sites. - Forget ambiguous general descriptions.
get_weather_indicescalculates suitability scores for specific activities like running or fishing, giving hard data points for risk assessment. - The process starts right: You run
search_location. This ensures that every subsequent call—whether it'sget_current_conditions_metricor a forecast—uses the correct, verified location key. No more 'wrong city' errors. - It handles international needs natively. All data is returned in metric units (Celsius/km/h), making the output immediately usable for global applications and scientific logging.
Real-World Use Cases
Coordinating a Multi-Day Field Site
An operations lead needs to know if sending teams next week is viable. They run search_location first, then use get_daily_forecast. This gives them high/low temps and precipitation probability for 15 days, allowing them to reschedule safely before wasting time.
Planning a Race Day Event
The event organizer needs minute-by-minute weather context. They call get_hourly_forecast combined with get_weather_indices. This tells them if the wind speed or UV index will cross unsafe thresholds during peak race hours.
Checking for Immediate Safety Risks
A user asks, 'Is it safe to travel to Miami right now?' The agent runs get_weather_alarms. If a Heat Advisory is active, the system immediately flags the risk before providing any temperature data.
Verifying International Travel Details
A travel planner needs weather for a specific town they only know by name. They use search_location to get the key, then use get_current_conditions_metric to pull reliable Celsius and km/h data.
The Tradeoffs
Guessing the location key
Asking the agent for weather in 'New York' without first verifying the exact location ID. This often leads to generic or incorrect results.
→
Always start by running search_location on your target name. Use the returned, confirmed location key in all subsequent calls like get_current_conditions_metric. Never skip this step.
Asking for everything at once
One prompt attempting to get current conditions, a 15-day forecast, and activity indices simultaneously. This is complex and prone to failure.
→
Break it down. First, search_location. Then, run the specific tool needed: e.g., call get_daily_forecast for the long view, or get_weather_indices when you need activity data.
Using old units
Expecting Fahrenheit and miles/hour metrics when working on an international project. The tool might return US-centric values.
→
Use get_current_conditions_metric or get_daily_forecast. These tools ensure all data is returned in Celsius, km/h, and kilometers.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
You need this server if your process requires structured, actionable weather metrics—not just a general text summary. Use it when you must compare multiple variables (e.g., UV index vs. wind speed) or check safety protocols using get_weather_alarms.
Don't use it if your only goal is to know 'if it will rain tomorrow.' For basic, simple checks, a general API might suffice. But if you need the depth of 15-day planning (get_extended_forecast), or specific suitability scores for activities using get_weather_indices, this server is mandatory.
Crucially, always assume you must run search_location first to get the correct key before calling any forecasting tool.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Getting a coherent weather picture used to mean opening five different browser tabs.
Today, if you're coordinating an outdoor event or managing logistics, you have to jump between the general forecast page, then check the severe warning map, and maybe look up activity suitability scores. You copy dates and locations manually, cross-reference different data sets, and spend half your morning just confirming *where* you are looking.
With this MCP server, that whole process vanishes. Your agent runs `search_location` once, then calls specific tools like `get_daily_forecast` for the timeline or `get_weather_alarms` for safety. You get a single, structured payload of all required data points instantly.
The AccuWeather MCP Server delivers actionable weather indices and forecasts.
You stop relying on vague descriptions like 'partly cloudy' or 'moderate risk.' Instead, you get specific metrics: a numerical UV index value, a precise wind speed (km/h), or an activity score for running. This level of detail was previously locked away in multiple specialized APIs.
Now your agent treats weather data as structured inputs. It can combine the hourly temperature fluctuations with the precipitation probability to give you a definitive 'Go/No-Go' answer, every single time.
Common Questions About AccuWeather MCP
How do I start using get_current_conditions_metric? +
You must first run search_location to find the location key. Then, pass that key into get_current_conditions_metric. This gives you instant metrics like Celsius temperature and km/h wind speed.
Can I check for severe weather using get_weather_alarms? +
Yes. Running get_weather_alarms checks the location for active alerts, including warnings for tornadoes or floods. It returns an empty list if nothing is currently active.
What's the difference between get_daily_forecast and get_extended_forecast? +
The daily forecast gives a detailed 5-day view with sunrise/sunset times and precipitation probability. The extended forecast covers up to 15 days but provides less granular data, useful for high-level planning.
Does get_weather_indices cover all activities? +
No. You first need get_index_groups to see what index types are supported (like running or golf). Then, you call get_weather_indices with the specific type name.
I just typed a city name; how do I get the location key? +
Use the search_location tool. This function takes a partial match or general name and returns the full, verified location key you need for all other tools.
If I want to use get_current_conditions or any other weather tool, what is the necessary first step? +
You must provide a valid API key and location identifier. The system requires you to run 'search_location' first to obtain the specific AccuWeather key for your desired city or region before any data query works.
What is the difference in scope between using get_daily_forecast versus get_extended_forecast? +
The daily forecast returns detailed, reliable predictions for up to five days. The extended forecast provides general high/low temperatures and precipitation chances but should only be used when planning events more than two weeks out.
When should I use get_hourly_forecast instead of the standard daily methods? +
Use 'get_hourly_forecast' for highly detailed, short-term scheduling. This tool gives you hour-by-hour data on temperature and precipitation probability, which is crucial when knowing exactly when rain starts or temperatures peak.
How do I get weather for a specific city? +
First use search_location with the city name (e.g. 'Tokyo') to find its AccuWeather location key. Then use that key with get_current_conditions for current weather, get_daily_forecast for the forecast, or get_hourly_forecast for hour-by-hour details.
What's the difference between daily and hourly forecasts? +
Daily forecasts (1-15 days) give you one summary per day with high/low temperatures and overall conditions. Hourly forecasts (12-120 hours) give you weather for each individual hour — perfect for knowing exactly when rain will start, when temperatures peak, or the best time for outdoor activities. Use hourly for precise timing, daily for general planning.
Can I get severe weather alerts? +
Yes. Use the get_weather_alarms tool with a location key to check for active severe weather alerts. This includes hurricanes, tornadoes, flood warnings, heat advisories, winter storm warnings, and more. Returns empty if no active alarms. Essential for emergency preparedness and travel safety decisions.
