What is the OpenWeatherMap MCP Server?
Connect OpenWeatherMap to your AI agent to get instant access to global meteorological data. Whether you're planning travel, monitoring environmental conditions, or building weather-aware automations, this server provides the precise data you need.
What you can do
- Current Conditions — Get live temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather descriptions for any city or coordinate via
get_current_weather. - Extended Forecasts — Access 5-day/3-hour forecasts with
get_forecastor use the One Call 3.0 API for 48-hour hourly and 8-day daily projections viaget_onecall. - Air Quality Monitoring — Retrieve real-time pollution data including PM2.5, PM10, CO, and Ozone levels using
get_air_pollution. - Geocoding Services — Seamlessly convert city names to coordinates with
direct_geocodingand vice versa withreverse_geocodingto power location-based queries.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenWeatherMap API Key
- Ask about weather or air quality in any location from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Travelers & Logistics — Check conditions at destinations or along routes to optimize schedules.
- Developers — Integrate weather context into apps and workflows without leaving your code editor.
- Environmental Researchers — Monitor air quality and weather patterns across different coordinates instantly.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns OpenWeatherMap into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from OpenWeatherMap and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 6 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

Why teams choose Vinkius for OpenWeatherMap in Cursor
The OpenWeatherMap MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 6 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
OpenWeatherMap for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the OpenWeatherMap MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a comprehensive weather report including hourly and daily forecasts?
Use the get_onecall tool with latitude and longitude. It provides current data, 48-hour hourly forecasts, and 8-day daily forecasts in a single request.
Can I check the air quality for a specific location?
Yes, the get_air_pollution tool returns real-time data for pollutants including CO, NO2, O3, and particulate matter (PM2.5/PM10) for any coordinates.
How do I find coordinates for a city name to use with the weather tools?
Use the direct_geocoding tool. Simply provide the city name (and optionally state/country), and it will return the latitude and longitude needed for tools like get_onecall.
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.
