What is the NWS (National Weather Service) MCP Server?
Connect to the National Weather Service (NWS) API to retrieve precise meteorological data for any US location. This server allows AI agents to fetch point-based grid information, detailed textual forecasts, hourly updates, and critical weather alerts.
What you can do
- Location Mapping — Convert coordinates into NWS grid points using
get_pointto unlock hyper-local data. - Forecasts — Get detailed textual and hourly forecasts for specific grid locations via
get_forecastandget_hourly_forecast. - Weather Alerts — Monitor active watches, warnings, and advisories nationwide or by specific state/area with
get_active_alertsandget_active_alerts_by_area. - Station Observations — Access real-time data from weather stations, including the latest atmospheric readings using
get_latest_station_observation.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide a User-Agent string (required by NWS API policy)
- Start querying weather data in your AI agent
Who is this for?
- Developers & Data Scientists — integrate live weather context into applications or analysis workflows.
- Logistics & Operations — monitor active alerts and forecasts to optimize travel and outdoor activities.
- General Users — get precise, official government weather data through natural conversation.
Built-in capabilities (9)

Why teams choose Vinkius for NWS (National Weather Service) in Google ADK
The NWS (National Weather Service) 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 9 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK 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.
* Every 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 optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
NWS (National Weather Service) for Google ADK
Every tool call from Google ADK to the NWS (National Weather Service) 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 forecast for a specific latitude and longitude?
First, use the get_point tool with your coordinates to find the office ID and grid coordinates (gridX, gridY). Then, pass those values into the get_forecast tool to receive the textual forecast.
Can I check for active weather warnings in a specific state?
Yes! Use the get_active_alerts_by_area tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'TX' for Texas or 'FL' for Florida) to see all current watches and warnings for that area.
How do I see the current temperature at a specific airport?
Use the get_latest_station_observation tool with the station's ICAO ID (e.g., 'KJFK' for New York JFK or 'KLAX' for Los Angeles International) to get the most recent atmospheric readings.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
