How do I use IQAir with my AI client?

You connect the MCP through Vinkius and provide your IQAir API key. Once connected, you can use Claude, Cursor, or other compatible clients to query the data.

What kind of environmental data can my agent access?

Your agent can access real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) data, specific pollutant levels, and weather metrics like temperature and humidity.

Can I check air quality for a specific city?

Yes, you can use the get_city_air_quality capability to get data for any specific city in the IQAir catalog.

Does this MCP support global locations?

Yes, the MCP can list supported countries, states, and cities to help you find data for locations worldwide.

How do I know if the data source is working?

You can use the check_api_status capability to verify that the IQAir API is operational.

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 capability 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.

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.

One connector, every AI

IQAir 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 IQAir 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 IQAir, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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