Check Air Quality Scores with MCP Server

Need to know if it's safe to go outside? Use `get_air_quality` to pull current AQI scores and concentrations for pollutants like PM2.5, O3, and CO. The output includes health recommendations you can paste directly into your report. This is critical when writing content that needs location context. Just drop the coordinates in, get the data back, and Claude handles the rest.

Review Hourly Forecasts with Claude Desktop

Planning an outdoor event? `get_forecast_hourly_by_city` gives you a granular look at conditions for hours ahead. You'll see temperature, precipitation probability, wind speed, and humidity changing minute by minute. Because this data comes through the local stdio transport, Claude Desktop can process massive time series data sets to predict resource needs—like how many umbrellas you’ll need.

Pull Historical Weather Data

Writing a paper that requires long-term climate context? Run `get_historical_weather` and pull metrics spanning the last 30 years. It gives you temp, precipitation records, and wind data for specific coordinates. This is perfect for academic work where you can't just use general knowledge. You get verifiable numbers to back up your claims.
