Common variables: pm2_5, pm10, nitrogen_dioxide, ozone, sulphur_dioxide, carbon_monoxide, dust, uv_index, alder_pollen, grass_pollen. Get air quality forecast for a location
Useful for hiking, aviation and geographic research. Get elevation for coordinates
Requires latitude and longitude. Supports hourly, daily and current weather variables. Common variables: temperature_2m, relative_humidity_2m, precipitation, rain, snowfall, wind_speed_10m, wind_direction_10m, wind_gusts_10m, weather_code, cloud_cover, pressure_msl, uv_index, visibility, apparent_temperature, dew_point_2m, sunshine_duration. Set past_days to include historical data (0-92 days). Set forecast_days for forecast length (0-16 days, default 7). Timezone defaults to GMT; use "auto" for local timezone. Get weather forecast for a location
Useful for finding coordinates to use with weather tools. Returns up to 10 results by default. Find coordinates for a place name
Requires latitude, longitude, start date and end date (YYYY-MM-DD format). Supports the same hourly variables as the forecast API. Historical data goes back to 1940 for most locations. Use get_geocoding to find coordinates for a city name. Get historical weather data for a location
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Open-Meteo data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 5 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
Do I need an API key?
No! Open-Meteo is completely free and open-source for non-commercial use. No API key, no sign-up, no registration. Just subscribe and start querying. For commercial use, you'll need an API key from open-meteo.com.
What weather variables are available?
50+ variables including: temperature (2m, 80m, 120m, 180m), apparent temperature, humidity, dew point, wind speed/direction/gusts, precipitation, rain, snowfall, snow depth, cloud cover, pressure, UV index, sunshine duration, visibility, evapotranspiration, soil temperature/moisture and many more.
How far back does historical data go?
Historical weather data goes back to 1940 for most locations worldwide. Use get_historical_weather with start_date and end_date in YYYY-MM-DD format to retrieve archived data.
How do I find coordinates for a city?
Use get_geocoding with the city name (e.g. 'São Paulo', 'Tokyo', 'London'). Returns coordinates, elevation, timezone and country info. Then use those coordinates with get_forecast or get_historical_weather.
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.
