How do I find my QWeather API Key?

Log in to your [**QWeather Developer portal**](https://dev.qweather.com/), create a project, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.

Does it support coordinate search?

Yes. You can provide location coordinates (lat,lon) to the `get_ocean_tide_data` tool to retrieve precise regional tide metadata.

What data format is returned for tide tables?

The API returns detailed hourly or daily tide tables, including timestamped water height and peak type metadata.

About QWeather Ocean/Tide API MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and oceanographic auditing workflow with the QWeather Ocean/Tide API, the specialized source for global tide data. By connecting QWeather's ocean intelligence to your agent, you transform complex water level searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time tide tables, audit high and low water peaks, and query specific location metadata without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are planning coastal logistics or conducting marine research, your agent acts as a real-time oceanographic consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use QWeather Ocean/Tide API tools. Connect 2 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Tide Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution tide tables for global locations and maintain a clear view of water level changes.
Peak Oversight — Audit high and low water times and heights to understand the temporal distribution of maritime scale instantly.
Geographic Discovery — Query tide data by location ID or coordinates to maintain strict organizational control over regional data.
Ocean Intelligence — Retrieve detailed oceanographic metadata to assist in deep-dive coastal classification.
Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.

The QWeather Ocean/Tide API MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

QWeather Ocean/Tide API + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating QWeather Ocean/Tide API MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call QWeather Ocean/Tide API tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
