NWS (National Weather Service)

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_point to unlock hyper-local data.
  • Forecasts — Get detailed textual and hourly forecasts for specific grid locations via get_forecast and get_hourly_forecast.
  • Weather Alerts — Monitor active watches, warnings, and advisories nationwide or by specific state/area with get_active_alerts and get_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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Provide a User-Agent string (required by NWS API policy)
  3. 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.

Why OpenAI Agents SDK?

The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 9 tools from NWS (National Weather Service) through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries NWS (National Weather Service), another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.

  • Native MCP integration via MCPServerSse, pass the URL and the SDK auto-discovers all tools with full type safety

  • Built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns let you build production-grade agents without reinventing safety infrastructure

  • Lightweight and composable: chain multiple agents and MCP servers in a single pipeline with minimal boilerplate

  • First-party OpenAI support ensures optimal compatibility with GPT models for tool calling and structured output

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.

05

Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?

Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.

06

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
