Scripting Multi-Day Forecasts with MCP Server

You can write a shell script that calls `get_daily_forecast` to pull the 16-day outlook. From there, you might chain it to run `get_hourly_forecast`, getting up to 10 days of hourly data points. This lets your CI/CD pipeline generate comprehensive reports on expected weather patterns.

Checking Live Conditions with Claude Code

Need immediate status? Run `get_current_weather` against a location identifier. For air quality, simply invoke `get_current_airquality`; it returns the full suite of metrics including AQI. It also provides lightning observations using `get_current_lightning`, requiring only lat/lon coordinates to run.

Running Complex History Queries with MCP Server

For data analysis, you can script calls to grab historical records. Use `get_hourly_history` for specific date and time ranges (YYYY-MM-DD:HH). Or if you need sub-hourly detail, use `get_subhourly_history`. These commands let your terminal process vast amounts of archived weather data.
