Multi-Step Forecasts for Windsurf

Windsurf can get the 3-day hourly air quality forecast using `get_airquality_forecast` based on latitude and longitude. It also pulls a full 16-day daily forecast via `get_daily_forecast`, letting you map out long-term environmental changes. You'll never have to manually combine different data points again. Need historical context? You just run the query for `get_daily_history` by specifying start and end dates.

Real-Time Conditions with MCP Server

Check current conditions quickly: use `get_current_weather` to get live observations using a city name or postal code. For air quality, you can run `get_current_airquality` which reports on PM10, CO, SO2, NO2, O3, and the AQI. It even tracks severe weather alerts with `get_alerts`, needing just lat/lon OR city OR postal_code. This keeps your planning tight.

Geocoding and Detailed Data for Windsurf

Finding the right spot is easy. Run `get_geocode` if you only know a city or zip code, which returns necessary coordinates. Once you have those coords, you can run `get_hourly_forecast` to get up to 10 days of hourly predictions. Need minute-by-minute detail? Use `get_minutely_forecast` by passing in lat/lon to capture high-resolution precipitation forecasts.
