Do I need coordinates to use this MCP?

No. While coordinates are useful, you can find a location key using a city name via the search_city capability, or even an IP address.

Can I get data for a date that was last year?

Yes. The historical_conditions capability lets you retrieve the actual weather data for a specific location key on a past date.

Is this just for general forecasts?

No. It provides specialized data, including minute-by-minute precipitation forecasts and details on lightning strikes.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

Any AI client compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can connect to and use this connector.

How do I find the weather for a specific city if I don't have its location key?

First, use the search_city capability with the city name. It will return a 'Location Key'. You can then use that key with capabilities like current_conditions or daily_forecast to get the weather data.

Can I get weather forecasts for multiple days at once?

Yes! Use the daily_forecast capability and specify the period parameter (e.g., '5day' or '10day'). This will provide a structured forecast for the requested duration.

Is it possible to search for weather using just GPS coordinates?

Absolutely. Use the search_geoposition capability and provide the latitude and longitude (e.g., '40.7128,-74.0060'). The agent will find the corresponding location key for you.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Event Scheduling

Check the daily forecast and hourly predictions to determine if an outdoor event needs to be rescheduled due to rain or high winds.

Supply Chain Management

Before dispatching goods, check the weather alarms and current conditions for the destination to predict potential delays.

Research Reporting

Pull historical conditions for a specific region to analyze climate trends over the last decade.

Safety Monitoring

Automate a task

Put AccuWeather to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

AccuWeather works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put AccuWeather to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of AccuWeather, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with AccuWeather. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
