What is the NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions MCP Server?
Real-time sensor data from thousands of NWS stations.
What you can do
- Find Stations — Locate nearby weather stations by lat/lon
- Current Conditions — Latest observation (temp, wind, pressure, humidity)
- Recent History — Observation trend over past hours
- Station Metadata — Details about each station
- Radar Network — NEXRAD radar station status
Built-in capabilities (5)
Provide a 4-character station ID such as KJFK, KLAX, KORD, KDFW. Get current weather conditions from a specific NWS station
Useful for seeing temperature trends, wind changes, and weather evolution over recent hours. Get recent observation history for a NWS station
List all NWS radar stations and their status
Useful for understanding where a station is and what data it provides. Get metadata about a specific NWS weather station
Each station has a 4-character ID (e.g., KJFK, KLAX). US only. Use station IDs with get_latest_observation. Find nearby NWS weather observation stations by latitude/longitude
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from NOAA Observations — US Current Conditions and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How often are observations updated?
Most NWS stations report hourly (METAR), with some reporting every 5-15 minutes during significant weather (SPECI).
What are METAR and SPECI reports?
METARs are routine hourly weather reports generated primarily at airports. SPECI reports are unscheduled updates issued when there is a significant change in weather conditions.
Can I check the status of a local weather radar?
Yes, you can query the operational status of NEXRAD sites across the country to see if a station is active, down for maintenance, or scanning.
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
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
