What is the IQAir MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire environmental research and air quality auditing workflow with IQAir, the world's most popular platform for air quality data. By connecting the AirVisual API to your agent, you transform complex pollution searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time air quality indices (AQI), audit weather conditions, and identify the most polluted areas without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are conducting climate research or monitoring local health constraints, your agent acts as a real-time environmental assistant, ensuring your data is always precise and localized.
What you can do
- Pollution Auditing — Retrieve real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) data for the nearest city or specific global locations instantly.
- Weather Oversight — Audit current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, to maintain a clear view of environmental scale.
- Geographic Discovery — List all supported countries, states, and cities in the IQAir catalog to understand the geographic reach of air quality monitoring.
- Local Intelligence — Query specific city data to understand local pollution markers and main pollutants (e.g., p2, p1).
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your environmental research workflow is always operational.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my IQAir API Key?
Log in to your IQAir dashboard, create a new key in the API section, and copy it. Copy and paste it below.
Does the agent use the server's IP for nearest city?
Yes. The get_nearest_city_air_quality tool automatically uses the requester's IP address to identify and audit the nearest monitored location.
Are weather details included with air quality?
Yes. Every city data retrieval includes current weather metadata such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure alongside the AQI.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
