What is the Open UV Index API MCP Server?

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire environmental safety and UV auditing workflow with the Open UV Index API, the comprehensive source for real-time ultraviolet radiation data. By connecting OpenUV.io to your agent, you transform complex atmospheric searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time UV indices, audit daily forecasts, and query sun protection metadata without you ever touching a weather portal. Whether you are planning outdoor activities or conducting regional environmental research, your agent acts as a real-time health consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and localized.

What you can do

UV Auditing — Retrieve real-time UV Index data for any coordinate pair and maintain a clear view of radiation exposure.
Forecast Oversight — Audit the daily UV forecast to understand the temporal distribution of solar intensity instantly.
Ozone Discovery — Query atmospheric ozone levels to understand the environmental reach of radiation protection.
Protection Intelligence — Retrieve sun safety recommendations based on current UV metadata to assist in regional health planning.
Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your safety research workflow is always operational.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my OpenUV API Key?

Does it support location search by coordinates?

Yes. All OpenUV tools require latitude and longitude parameters to retrieve precise regional radiation metadata.

Are sun protection recommendations included?

Yes. The get_uv_protection_guide tool retrieves specific safety metadata including recommended protective gear based on the current UV Index.

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.
