What is the Open UV Index API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire environmental safety and UV auditing workflow with the Open UV Index API, the comprehensive source for real-time ultraviolet radiation data. By connecting OpenUV.io to your agent, you transform complex atmospheric searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time UV indices, audit daily forecasts, and query sun protection metadata without you ever touching a weather portal. Whether you are planning outdoor activities or conducting regional environmental research, your agent acts as a real-time health consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and localized.
What you can do
- UV Auditing — Retrieve real-time UV Index data for any coordinate pair and maintain a clear view of radiation exposure.
- Forecast Oversight — Audit the daily UV forecast to understand the temporal distribution of solar intensity instantly.
- Ozone Discovery — Query atmospheric ozone levels to understand the environmental reach of radiation protection.
- Protection Intelligence — Retrieve sun safety recommendations based on current UV metadata to assist in regional health planning.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your safety research workflow is always operational.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenUV API Key
- Start managing your UV intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Outdoor Enthusiasts — monitor UV levels and retrieve protection metadata straight from your workflow.
- Health Professionals — verify local radiation intensity and audit exposure risks without manual searching.
- Event Planners — perform rapid audits of sun intensity and identify relevant safety markers through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate environmental data querying to orchestrate cross-functional safety teams smoothly.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Open UV Index API into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Open UV Index API and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 4 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 do I find my OpenUV API Key?
Log in to your OpenUV account, and you will find your API Key in your console dashboard. Copy and paste it below.
Does it support location search by coordinates?
Yes. All OpenUV tools require latitude and longitude parameters to retrieve precise regional radiation metadata.
Are sun protection recommendations included?
Yes. The get_uv_protection_guide tool retrieves specific safety metadata including recommended protective gear based on the current UV Index.
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.
