How to Use the AerisWeather MCP in Claude

Q: Can I get a forecast for next month with AerisWeather and Claude Desktop?

No, the forecast data from getforecasts and getconditions goes out 15 days. For anything further out, you'd need a different data source.

Q: Does the AerisWeather server for Claude Desktop support batch requests?

Yes, the getbatch tool is designed for this. You can ask your agent to pull multiple data types, like forecasts and alerts, for several locations in one go. It's much faster than asking for each one separately.

Q: What kind of locations can I look up?

The getplaces tool can find cities, weather stations, and airports. You can also use coordinates or just ask for the weather "nearby" and let the tool figure it out.

Get live AerisWeather data for any location directly in your Claude Desktop chat, no coding needed.

Perplexity

Get Local Weather Alerts and Forecasts

Use `get_alerts` and `get_forecasts` to pull active weather warnings and future conditions. Just ask Claude for the forecast in "chicago,il" or to check for storm advisories near your location. It's that simple. Your agent gets structured data it can summarize for you. No more switching tabs to check a weather map. You get the exact info you need, right in your chat.

Query Hyper-Local Weather Conditions

The `get_conditions` and `get_observations` tools give you access to a global network of weather stations. You can get current weather, historical data going back to 2004, and even minutely precipitation forecasts. Ask your agent to "get current conditions for the closest station to SFO" or "find observations within 10 miles of downtown Austin". This MCP server turns your request into a precise API call and brings the data back to Claude.

Build Weather Dashboards with this MCP Server

The `get_batch` tool is for bigger jobs. It lets your agent combine up to 31 different requests into a single call. You can get forecasts, observations, and alerts for multiple locations at once. This is great for building simple, interactive UI inside your chat. Ask Claude to build a dashboard comparing weather in three cities. The agent uses a single batch call, making it fast and efficient.
