Weatherbit Alternative MCP. Real-time weather, air quality, and historical climate data.

Listen up. This server gives your agent access to global environmental data—the real deal. It handles everything from current temperature and wind speed readings right through 16-day forecasts, air quality metrics (AQI, PM2.5), and severe weather alerts. You can track lightning strikes and pull years of historical climate data without having to juggle a dozen different APIs.

The whole point is that you don't have to know the complicated API structure; your agent just needs to ask for what it needs. We make sure the calls run automatically in the background.

• Location First: Getting Your Coordinates

• If you start with a city name, a zip code, or station ID, you first use get_geocode. This tool translates that location context into precise latitude and longitude coordinates, which is what every other function needs to run.

• Current Conditions & Pollution Check

• To check the immediate situation, you can pull real-time weather observations—things like temperature, wind speed, and precipitation—using get_current_weather. For air quality, you get an instant reading on AQI and PM2.5 via get_current_airquality, which needs lat/lon or a location identifier.

• When it comes to safety, if there's active severe weather, get_alerts fetches those warnings by providing coordinates, city, postal code, or city ID. You can also pinpoint the nearest observed lightning strikes using get_current_lightning, but that requires precise latitude and longitude coordinates.

• Forecasting: Planning Ahead

• For planning out weeks in advance, you've got options. Use get_daily_forecast for a 16-day daily prediction based on lat/lon or other location identifiers. If you need more granular detail, get_hourly_forecast generates an up to 10-day forecast that breaks down weather changes hour by hour using just the lat/lon. For ultra-short-term predictions, get_minutely_forecast predicts precipitation minute by minute over the next sixty minutes using precise latitude and longitude.

• Historical Data & Climate Analysis

• If you're doing research or benchmarking, you can dig deep into history. To get a full daily weather record for specific dates, run get_daily_history, which takes both start and end date ranges (YYYY-MM-DD). If you need to see the data hour by hour over time, use get_hourly_history with a defined date range (YYYY-MM-DD:HH).

  For maximum detail, get_subhourly_history gets historical weather spanning sub-hour intervals over a specific period. You can also pull long-term climate averages—the 1991-2020 data—using get_normals for a specified date range and lat/lon.

• Pollution Forecast

• You don't just get current air quality; you can forecast it. get_airquality_forecast retrieves a 3-day hourly prediction detailing air pollution levels, again using latitude and longitude.

• Utility Tools

• Finally, two other tools keep things running smoothly: get_hourly_history accesses historical weather data, providing hourly records for a specified date range (YYYY-MM-DD:HH), and get_subscription_usage checks your account status so you know exactly how much of your subscription limit you've used. It’s all there in one place.
