What is the INMET (Apitempo - Meteorologia) MCP Server?
Connect to the INMET (Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia) API to retrieve comprehensive weather data across Brazil. This server allows AI agents to query a vast network of automatic and manual stations, providing precise atmospheric measurements and forecasts.
What you can do
- Meteorological Stations — List all automatic (T) and manual (M) stations across the Brazilian territory.
- Historical & Real-time Data — Fetch daily or hourly measurements (temperature, humidity, pressure) for specific station IDs.
- Regional Analysis — Query data for all stations within specific Brazilian regions (N, NE, CO, SE, S) for a given date.
- Weather Forecasts — Get detailed forecasts for cities using IBGE codes or retrieve all available forecasts at once.
- Satellite Imagery — Access the latest GOES-16 satellite metadata and image URLs for visual weather monitoring.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your INMET API Token (if required)
- Start querying weather patterns directly from your AI assistant
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Researchers — analyze climate trends and historical weather patterns in Brazil.
- Logistics & Agriculture — monitor local weather conditions and forecasts to optimize operations.
- Developers — integrate official Brazilian meteorological data into applications without complex API handling.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings INMET (Apitempo - Meteorologia) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 8 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How can I get the weather forecast for a specific city in Brazil?
You can use the get_forecast_by_city tool by providing the city's IBGE code. The agent will return detailed forecast information including temperature and conditions.
Can I access real-time satellite imagery of Brazil?
Yes! Use the get_satellite_images tool to retrieve the latest metadata and URLs for GOES-16 satellite images covering the Brazilian territory.
How do I find the ID of a meteorological station?
Use the list_stations tool with the type 'T' for automatic or 'M' for manual stations. This will provide a list of all stations and their respective IDs.
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.
