About OpenWeather MCP Server
Connect to OpenWeather APIs and access global weather data through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OpenWeather tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 11 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Current Weather — Get real-time temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, visibility and conditions for any location
- Hourly Forecast — 48-hour hourly forecast with temperature, precipitation probability and UV index
- Daily Forecast — Up to 16-day daily forecast with min/max temperatures and weather descriptions
- Weather Alerts — Active severe weather warnings and alerts for any location
- Air Quality — Current AQI and 4-day forecast with pollutant concentrations (PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, CO)
- Historical Weather — Weather conditions for any past date
- Sun Times — Sunrise and sunset times for any location
- Geocoding — Convert city names to coordinates and vice versa
The OpenWeather MCP Server exposes 11 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the OpenWeather MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with OpenWeather through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 11 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
OpenWeather + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the OpenWeather MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from OpenWeather and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query OpenWeather tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from OpenWeather and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine OpenWeather data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
