Shared climate tooling in VS Code

Commit your mcp.json to the repo so every dev on your team uses the same `get_daily_data` setup. This eliminates environment drift when everyone is looking at the same weather records. VS Code Copilot treats these as first-class tools. Your team can run queries against the GHCN-Daily archive without ever leaving the editor or opening a browser.

Automate baseline comparisons

Use `get_climate_normals` to standardize how your team benchmarks regional weather. By sharing the configuration, you ensure everyone is comparing their data against the same 30-year baseline. It’s a cleaner way to handle climate analysis than manual scripts. Just invoke the tool through Copilot Chat and get the standardized results back in seconds.

Verify station data across the team

Use `search_stations` to keep your team aligned on which weather stations represent specific regions. If a station ID is updated, you update the config once and everyone stays in sync. Couple this with `get_yearly_summary` to provide the entire team with consistent, long-term climate data. It’s built for collaboration, not just solo experimentation.
