How to Use the Weather (Open-Meteo) MCP in Windsurf

Q: What happens when I ask Windsurf about future weather with Weather (Open-Meteo)?

If you need to look ahead, Cascade uses weather.forecast to get a multi-day outlook, covering up to 14 days. If you only care about the next day, it's better to run the hourly data check using weather.hourly.

Q: Can Windsurf analyze air quality for my outdoor plans using Weather (Open-Meteo)?

Absolutely. By calling weather.airquality, it gives you the current AQI index and PM2.5 levels, plus a specific health recommendation. This is essential context to include when planning any activity.

Q: Does Windsurf help plan activities using Weather (Open-Meteo)?

Yes. The weather.besttime tool lets you input an activity type—say, 'running'—and it scans the next 72 hours to score every three-hour window. It’ll tell you when conditions are optimal for that specific sport.

Let Windsurf automatically plan multi-step weather checks and environmental reports right in your IDE.

Perplexity

Compare weather across multiple locations.

Need to know if you should hit the coast or head inland? Use `weather.compare` to check current conditions for 2 to 5 cities simultaneously. It runs a comfort score calculation and shows you which option is best right away. Don't just guess; let your agent figure it out. This tool generates comparison data, giving you actionable insight across diverse geographic areas.

Find the optimal outdoor activity window.

Planning a day outside? The `weather.best_time` function analyzes 72 hours of hourly data and scores specific activities—like cycling or photography. It doesn't just give you temperature; it suggests the absolute best three-hour slot. Your agent can use this to plan complex trips, pulling out the top tip for an activity based on detailed criteria.

Get current air quality and health recommendations.

Air quality matters. Calling `weather.air_quality` gives you the AQI score, plus readings for PM2.5, ozone, and NO2 for any city. Crucially, it always displays a specific health recommendation based on that data. This is key for planning when kids or older relatives can safely go out.
