Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the OpenWeatherMap MCP Server?
Connect OpenWeatherMap to your AI agent to get instant access to global meteorological data. Whether you're planning travel, monitoring environmental conditions, or building weather-aware automations, this server provides the precise data you need.
What you can do
- Current Conditions — Get live temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather descriptions for any city or coordinate via
get_current_weather. - Extended Forecasts — Access 5-day/3-hour forecasts with
get_forecastor use the One Call 3.0 API for 48-hour hourly and 8-day daily projections viaget_onecall. - Air Quality Monitoring — Retrieve real-time pollution data including PM2.5, PM10, CO, and Ozone levels using
get_air_pollution. - Geocoding Services — Seamlessly convert city names to coordinates with
direct_geocodingand vice versa withreverse_geocodingto power location-based queries.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenWeatherMap API Key
- Ask about weather or air quality in any location from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Travelers & Logistics — Check conditions at destinations or along routes to optimize schedules.
- Developers — Integrate weather context into apps and workflows without leaving your code editor.
- Environmental Researchers — Monitor air quality and weather patterns across different coordinates instantly.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings OpenWeatherMap data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 6 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

Why teams choose Vinkius for OpenWeatherMap in VS Code Copilot
The OpenWeatherMap MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 6 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in VS Code Copilot only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
OpenWeatherMap for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the OpenWeatherMap MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a comprehensive weather report including hourly and daily forecasts?
Use the get_onecall tool with latitude and longitude. It provides current data, 48-hour hourly forecasts, and 8-day daily forecasts in a single request.
Can I check the air quality for a specific location?
Yes, the get_air_pollution tool returns real-time data for pollutants including CO, NO2, O3, and particulate matter (PM2.5/PM10) for any coordinates.
How do I find coordinates for a city name to use with the weather tools?
Use the direct_geocoding tool. Simply provide the city name (and optionally state/country), and it will return the latitude and longitude needed for tools like get_onecall.
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.
