What is the Caiyun Weather / 彩云天气 MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your environmental monitoring and high-precision weather forecasting with Caiyun Weather (彩云天气), the pioneer of minute-level precipitation forecasting in China. By connecting Caiyun to your agent, you transform complex meteorological data, air quality auditing, and long-term forecasts into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time conditions for any coordinate, provide hyper-local rain alerts for the next two hours, and audit historical or forecast trends without you ever needing to navigate a weather map. Whether you are planning outdoor logistics or monitoring air quality for retail branches, your agent acts as a real-time environmental coordinator, providing accurate and fast results from a single, authorized source.
What you can do
- Minute-Precision Rain — Access hyper-local precipitation forecasts for the next 120 minutes with high resolution.
- Real-time Auditing — Retrieve current temperature, humidity, visibility, and wind conditions for specific coordinates.
- Air Quality Monitoring — Access real-time AQI and pollutant data (PM2.5, PM10) across mainland China.
- Long-term Forecasting — Retrieve detailed hourly and daily weather trends for up to 15 days.
- Geographic Flexibility — Query any location using Longitude,Latitude (GCJ-02) or administrative codes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Caiyun Weather Token?
Log in to the Caiyun Weather Open Platform, navigate to the 'Application Management' (应用管理) section to find your unique API Token.
What is the coordinate format for location?
Caiyun uses the format [Longitude],[Latitude]. For example, Beijing is approximately 116.40,39.90. It is important to put the Longitude first.
Which coordinate system should I use?
Caiyun natively supports GCJ-02 coordinates, which is the standard system for maps in mainland China. Ensure your coordinates are in this format for maximum accuracy.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
