About Taiwan Weather (CWA) MCP Server

The Taiwan Weather MCP Server integrates your AI agent with the official Central Weather Administration (CWA) of Taiwan — one of the most advanced meteorological services in the Pacific Rim.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Taiwan Weather (CWA) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 4 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

Core Capabilities

36-Hour General Forecast — Detailed weather predictions for every city and county in Taiwan, including temperature ranges, precipitation probability, and weather conditions.
1-Week Township Forecast — Extended forecasts with 12-hour granularity across all townships, ideal for travel planning and logistics.
Earthquake Reports — Official seismic event data from Taiwan's dense monitoring network. As a key location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Taiwan experiences frequent seismic activity, making this data critical for safety applications.
Small-Magnitude Events — Comprehensive minor earthquake tracking for research and seismological analysis.

Free API key required (instant registration). Taiwan's CWA maintains one of the densest meteorological sensor networks in Asia, delivering high-precision data essential for anyone operating in the Western Pacific typhoon corridor.
