Use 24 hours for tomorrow planning. Get hourly weather forecast for a location
This helps you understand what types of indices are available (outdoor activities, health, home & garden, etc.) before querying specific indices for a location. Use this to discover what activity planning indices are supported. Get available index groups and categories
Returns the city name, country, region, timezone, coordinates, elevation, and administrative area. Use this to verify you have the correct location before making weather queries. Get detailed information about a location by its AccuWeather key
Includes severe weather alerts such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flood warnings, heat advisories, and winter storm warnings. Each alarm includes severity level, description, start and end times, and source. Essential for safety planning, emergency preparedness, and travel decisions. Returns empty if no active alarms. Get active weather alarms and warnings for a location
Includes indices for outdoor activity suitability, flight delay probability, UV exposure, running, hiking, golf, fishing, lawn mowing, composting, and more. Each index includes a numeric value, category (e.g. "Excellent", "Poor", "Good"), and descriptive text. Essential for activity planning, health advisories, and lifestyle decisions. Get weather indices (outdoor activity, flight, UV, etc.) for a location
The location key is required for other weather queries. Returns matching locations with their keys, country, region, and coordinates. Use this as the first step before any weather query. For example, search for "New York" to find the correct location key for New York City. Supports partial matching and returns multiple results. Search for a location by name to get its AccuWeather location key

Frequently asked questions
How do I get weather for a specific city?
First use search_location with the city name (e.g. 'Tokyo') to find its AccuWeather location key. Then use that key with get_current_conditions for current weather, get_daily_forecast for the forecast, or get_hourly_forecast for hour-by-hour details.
What's the difference between daily and hourly forecasts?
Daily forecasts (1-15 days) give you one summary per day with high/low temperatures and overall conditions. Hourly forecasts (12-120 hours) give you weather for each individual hour — perfect for knowing exactly when rain will start, when temperatures peak, or the best time for outdoor activities. Use hourly for precise timing, daily for general planning.
Can I get severe weather alerts?
Yes. Use the get_weather_alarms tool with a location key to check for active severe weather alerts. This includes hurricanes, tornadoes, flood warnings, heat advisories, winter storm warnings, and more. Returns empty if no active alarms. Essential for emergency preparedness and travel safety decisions.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
