What you can do

Current Conditions — Get live temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather descriptions for any city or coordinate via get_current_weather.
Extended Forecasts — Access 5-day/3-hour forecasts with get_forecast or use the One Call 3.0 API for 48-hour hourly and 8-day daily projections via get_onecall.
Air Quality Monitoring — Retrieve real-time pollution data including PM2.5, PM10, CO, and Ozone levels using get_air_pollution.
Geocoding Services — Seamlessly convert city names to coordinates with direct_geocoding and vice versa with reverse_geocoding to power location-based queries.

The OpenWeatherMap MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

OpenWeatherMap + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating OpenWeatherMap 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.
