Do I need an API Key?

No. The data.gov.my Weather API is completely open and requires zero authentication. For higher rate limits, an optional token can be requested via email to the Malaysian government.

Are the forecasts in English?

The raw data from MET Malaysia uses Bahasa Melayu for forecast conditions. This server automatically translates all forecast terms to English, so you always receive clear, human-readable weather descriptions.

About Malaysia Weather MCP Server

The Malaysia Weather MCP Server provides direct, zero-auth access to the official Malaysian Meteorological Department (MET Malaysia) data feed — the authoritative source for tropical climate intelligence across the Malay Peninsula, Sabah, and Sarawak.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Malaysia Weather data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 3 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

Core Capabilities

7-Day Tropical Forecast — Detailed morning, afternoon, and night weather predictions for every state, district, town, and recreation area in Malaysia. Temperature ranges included.
Severe Weather Warnings — Active official alerts for heavy rain, strong winds, thunderstorms, and dangerous sea conditions. Bilingual content in English and Bahasa Melayu.
Earthquake Alerts — Real-time seismic events detected in the Southeast Asian region, including distance measurements from the nearest Malaysian territory.
Automatic Translation — All Malay-language forecast conditions are automatically translated to English for global accessibility.

Zero authentication required. Data sourced from MET Malaysia and updated daily. Essential for travel planners, logistics operators, insurance analysts, and anyone with operations in tropical Southeast Asia.

Malaysia Weather + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Malaysia Weather MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
