What is the MeteoSource MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire meteorological research and weather auditing workflow with MeteoSource, the comprehensive source for hyper-local weather data. By connecting the MeteoSource API to your agent, you transform complex forecast searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for monitored places, audit daily and hourly forecasts, and retrieve timezone metadata without you ever touching a weather portal. Whether you are planning outdoor events or conducting regional climate audits, your agent acts as a real-time meteorological consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and localized.
What you can do
- Place Auditing — Search for thousands of global locations and retrieve high-resolution place IDs and geographic metadata.
- Forecast Oversight — Audit comprehensive point forecasts, including current conditions, daily summaries, and hourly breakdowns.
- Geographic Discovery — Find the nearest monitored place by latitude and longitude to maintain strict organizational control over local data.
- Temporal Intelligence — Query timezone information for specific places to assist in time-sensitive logistics and event planning.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your meteorological research workflow is always operational.
How it works

- Logistics Managers — verify regional conditions and audit weather impacts on shipping patterns without manual searching.
- Climate Researchers — perform rapid audits of point forecasts and identify relevant monitored places through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate weather data querying to orchestrate cross-functional logistics teams smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my MeteoSource API Key?
Sign up for a free account at meteosource.com, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard. Copy and paste it below.
Does it support location search by name?
Yes. Use the search_weather_places tool providing the city or place name. Your agent will return the unique place_id required for forecasts.
Are hourly forecasts included?
Yes. The get_point_forecast tool retrieves comprehensive weather metadata including current conditions, daily summaries, and hourly breakdowns.
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.
