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.

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 LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
