Perplexity

Cascade handles the coordinate math

You don't need to look up grid codes. Give Cascade a city name or latitude and longitude to start the process. It uses `get_point_metadata` to find the exact local Weather Forecast Office responsible for that area. Once it has those coordinates, the MCP Server chains that data straight into `get_forecast`. You get the full seven-day outlook with high and low temps, wind speed, and precipitation probabilities without typing a single API request yourself.

Build weather apps inside Windsurf

If you are building a dashboard that needs hour-by-hour precision, Cascade pulls the raw arrays using `get_grid_data`. It grabs temperature, humidity, and wind vectors for programmatic analysis right in your editor. Need a 156-hour timeline instead? The agent switches to `get_hourly_forecast`. It maps out the exact sky conditions and rain chances for the next five days, writing the frontend code to display it while you watch.

Read the meteorologist's mind

Raw numbers don't always tell the whole story. When a major storm is rolling in, local forecasters write detailed text explanations to clarify the threat. Cascade runs `get_forecast_discussion` with a simple three-letter WFO code like OKX for New York. It pulls the latest Area Forecast Discussion, giving you the actual human reasoning behind the weather warnings.

Common questions about NOAA Forecast — US Weather Predictions MCP in Windsurf

Open your Settings and navigate to the Cascade MCP Servers UI. You can add it directly to your `mcp_config.json` file under the servers array, or just use the built-in marketplace for a one-click install. Hit refresh in the panel and Cascade auto-discovers the tools.

Yes. Cascade will write the React components, fetch the 156-hour timeline via the hourly forecast tool, and map the data to your UI. It handles the entire chain from coordinate lookup to finished code.

This server only connects to the US National Weather Service. If you give Windsurf coordinates for London or Tokyo, the point metadata tool will fail. Stick to US latitudes and longitudes.

No. That is the point of using Cascade. It reads your context, decides it needs the weather data, runs the point lookup, and pulls the forecast in one continuous flow.

The server only transmits the specific geographic parameters you provide, mainly latitude, longitude, and three-letter WFO codes. The NWS API receives no user tracking data, no project code, and zero local file context from your IDE.
