How to Use the AccuWeather MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf Cascade run AccuWeather queries without manual steps?

Cascade uses its autonomous planning to run searchlocation first, grabs the AccuWeather location key, and feeds it directly into your requested weather tool. You only ask for the forecast, and Windsurf handles the multi-step lookup.

Q: Can I configure the AccuWeather MCP Server directly inside Windsurf?

Yes, you add the server config to your Windsurf mcpconfig.json file to register this AccuWeather MCP Server. Cascade instantly auto-discovers the weather tools upon refresh.

Q: Does Windsurf support metric units when querying AccuWeather forecasts?

It does, because Cascade can call getcurrentconditionsmetric or getdailyforecast which natively return Celsius, km/h, and metric AccuWeather values. You specify your preference in your prompt, and Windsurf selects the correct tool.

Q: How do I get a 15-day AccuWeather outlook using Windsurf?

Cascade calls getextendedforecast to pull the two-week AccuWeather outlook for your specific location key inside Windsurf. This helps you plan long-term development sprints or outdoor events directly inside your Windsurf workspace.

Cascade chains AccuWeather forecasts and active alarms autonomously in Windsurf to keep your scripts running safely.

Chain AccuWeather location searches in Windsurf

Cascade autonomously chains `search_location` and `get_location_by_key` to map raw city names to AccuWeather location keys inside your Windsurf workspace. This multi-step lookup allows Windsurf to feed resolved keys directly into AccuWeather forecast tools without asking you for manual input. Once Cascade resolves the key, it runs `get_current_conditions` to display AccuWeather metrics directly in your Windsurf editor. You get a complete snapshot of local AccuWeather conditions in your Windsurf panel in a single step. No manual lookups needed.

Build weather-aware build pipelines in Windsurf

The `get_weather_alarms` tool lets Cascade monitor active AccuWeather warnings directly from your Windsurf editor before you deploy remote hardware tests. It scans AccuWeather inputs for hurricanes, floods, or high wind speeds that might impact physical staging environments managed via Windsurf. If Cascade finds an active AccuWeather alarm, it pauses your scheduled Windsurf tasks or alerts your team. You avoid physical site issues because your Windsurf environment checks live AccuWeather safety risks on its own. Safety checks are automated.

Plan outdoor trials in Windsurf using indices

Windsurf pulls live environmental suitability data using `get_weather_indices` to help schedule field operations based on AccuWeather metrics. Cascade inspects AccuWeather index groups to evaluate conditions for flight, hiking, or general outdoor activities. It queries `get_index_groups` first to locate correct categories before Windsurf assesses the actual AccuWeather values. Your Windsurf editor aggregates this AccuWeather data so Cascade can decide when to run outdoor test runs. Planning trials gets faster.
