About Caiyun Weather / 彩云天气 MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your environmental monitoring and high-precision weather forecasting with Caiyun Weather (彩云天气), the pioneer of minute-level precipitation forecasting in China. By connecting Caiyun to your agent, you transform complex meteorological data, air quality auditing, and long-term forecasts into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time conditions for any coordinate, provide hyper-local rain alerts for the next two hours, and audit historical or forecast trends without you ever needing to navigate a weather map. Whether you are planning outdoor logistics or monitoring air quality for retail branches, your agent acts as a real-time environmental coordinator, providing accurate and fast results from a single, authorized source.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Caiyun Weather / 彩云天气 data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Minute-Precision Rain — Access hyper-local precipitation forecasts for the next 120 minutes with high resolution.
- Real-time Auditing — Retrieve current temperature, humidity, visibility, and wind conditions for specific coordinates.
- Air Quality Monitoring — Access real-time AQI and pollutant data (PM2.5, PM10) across mainland China.
- Long-term Forecasting — Retrieve detailed hourly and daily weather trends for up to 15 days.
- Geographic Flexibility — Query any location using Longitude,Latitude (GCJ-02) or administrative codes.
