What is the Taiwan Weather (CWA) MCP Server?
The Taiwan Weather MCP Server integrates your AI agent with the official Central Weather Administration (CWA) of Taiwan — one of the most advanced meteorological services in the Pacific Rim.
Core Capabilities
- 36-Hour General Forecast — Detailed weather predictions for every city and county in Taiwan, including temperature ranges, precipitation probability, and weather conditions.
- 1-Week Township Forecast — Extended forecasts with 12-hour granularity across all townships, ideal for travel planning and logistics.
- Earthquake Reports — Official seismic event data from Taiwan's dense monitoring network. As a key location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Taiwan experiences frequent seismic activity, making this data critical for safety applications.
- Small-Magnitude Events — Comprehensive minor earthquake tracking for research and seismological analysis.
Free API key required (instant registration). Taiwan's CWA maintains one of the densest meteorological sensor networks in Asia, delivering high-precision data essential for anyone operating in the Western Pacific typhoon corridor.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a CWA API key?
Register for a free account at opendata.cwa.gov.tw. Once logged in, your Authorization key is available immediately in your profile dashboard. No approval wait time required.
Why is Taiwan earthquake data so important?
Taiwan sits directly on the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most seismically active zones on Earth. The CWA operates one of the densest seismological sensor networks in Asia, providing rapid, high-precision earthquake data that is critical for safety, construction, and insurance applications.
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.
