# Malaysia Weather MCP > Malaysia Weather MCP Server pulls real-time tropical climate data, severe weather warnings, and earthquake alerts for the entire Malay Peninsula from MET Malaysia. It gives your AI client immediate access to 7-day forecasts (morning/afternoon/night), active storm warnings, and recent seismic event reports across Southeast Asia. ## Overview - **Category:** data-services - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** weather-forecast, seismic-monitoring, emergency-alerts, climate-data, geospatial-intelligence ## Description **The Malaysia Weather MCP Server** plugs your agent directly into the official data feed from MET Malaysia. You're getting real-time tropical climate intelligence for the whole Malay Peninsula, covering Sabah and Sarawak. This isn't some generic weather API; it’s the authoritative source you need to run critical operations on Southeast Asian weather patterns.** **The core functions of this server give your AI client immediate access to three critical data streams.** When you use `get_malaysia_forecast`, you pull a detailed, 7-day weather forecast for specific spots across the Malay Peninsula. This tool breaks down conditions and temperature ranges into distinct periods: morning, afternoon, and night. You can pinpoint exact locations—like Kuala Lumpur or Langkawi—and get predictions spanning an entire week. The server doesn't just give you a general outlook; it provides granular data for each time segment, letting you track how the weather shifts from dawn till dusk over seven straight days. When you need to know what’s happening *right now*, use `get_malaysia_warnings`. This tool pulls active, official alerts directly from MET Malaysia regarding severe conditions. You're getting live warnings for heavy rain, strong winds, thunderstorms, or dangerous sea tides. These are immediate, high-priority flags that tell you exactly where the danger is and what kind of severe weather you’re dealing with. If you need to know about seismic activity, run `get_malaysia_earthquakes`. This function fetches recent earthquake reports across Southeast Asia. It provides specific metrics: the magnitude, the depth of the quake, and the distance from the nearest Malaysian coastline. You get detailed coordinates and information on how far away these tremors occurred, giving you a clear picture of regional stability. **You'll find that this server handles language barriers automatically.** If any forecast content is written in Bahasa Melayu, the system converts it into plain English for effortless reading by your agent. This means whether the alert comes through as an official warning or part of the daily temperature breakdown, you won't get stuck translating local terminology; everything flows straight to readable English text. The server isn’t just about pulling data; it’s about giving you actionable intelligence. You can determine 7-day forecasts for multiple locations using `get_malaysia_forecast`, getting specific details on temperature ranges and conditions for morning, afternoon, and night all in one call. You'll flag immediate warnings of severe weather—like storms or high tides—using `get_malaysia_warnings` by pulling active, official alerts from MET Malaysia. For seismic monitoring, you report recent earthquake activity using `get_malaysia_earthquakes`, which details the magnitude, depth, and distance measurements for any tremor near the Malaysian coastlines. You’re getting a complete picture of the climate: forecasts spanning seven days with time-specific breakdowns, immediate severe weather alerts when they pop up, and detailed reports on earthquake activity including magnitude and precise distances. ## Tools ### get_malaysia_earthquakes Fetches recent earthquake reports, giving magnitude, depth, and distance from the nearest Malaysian location. ### get_malaysia_forecast Delivers a 7-day weather forecast for specific locations, detailing conditions and temperature ranges for morning, afternoon, and night. ### get_malaysia_warnings Pulls active official alerts from MET Malaysia regarding severe weather like storms or dangerous sea conditions. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What's the weather forecast for Kuala Lumpur this week? ``` **Response:** ``` I've checked the MET Malaysia forecast for Kuala Lumpur.
