Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the QWeather Ocean/Tide API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and oceanographic auditing workflow with the QWeather Ocean/Tide API, the specialized source for global tide data. By connecting QWeather's ocean intelligence to your agent, you transform complex water level searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time tide tables, audit high and low water peaks, and query specific location metadata without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are planning coastal logistics or conducting marine research, your agent acts as a real-time oceanographic consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Tide Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution tide tables for global locations and maintain a clear view of water level changes.
- Peak Oversight — Audit high and low water times and heights to understand the temporal distribution of maritime scale instantly.
- Geographic Discovery — Query tide data by location ID or coordinates to maintain strict organizational control over regional data.
- Ocean Intelligence — Retrieve detailed oceanographic metadata to assist in deep-dive coastal classification.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your QWeather API Key
- Start managing your oceanographic intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Mariners & Harbor Masters — monitor tide levels and retrieve water metadata straight from your workflow.
- Marine Researchers — verify tide patterns and audit oceanographic markers without manual searching.
- Coastal Planners — perform rapid audits of water peaks and identify relevant maritime markers through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate oceanographic data querying to orchestrate cross-functional maritime teams smoothly.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns QWeather Ocean/Tide API into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from QWeather Ocean/Tide API and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 2 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 QWeather API Key?
Log in to your QWeather Developer portal, create a project, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.
Does it support coordinate search?
Yes. You can provide location coordinates (lat,lon) to the get_ocean_tide_data tool to retrieve precise regional tide metadata.
What data format is returned for tide tables?
The API returns detailed hourly or daily tide tables, including timestamped water height and peak type metadata.
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.
