# Open-Meteo Weather MCP > Open-Meteo Weather Forecast gives your AI agent live, comprehensive weather intelligence for any GPS coordinate on Earth. Get 16-day forecasts, real-time current conditions, and detailed hourly breakdowns—all without needing API keys or registration. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** weather-forecast, real-time-data, meteorology, gps-coordinates, hourly-weather ## Description Planning anything that depends on the sky is tough enough; coordinating it across multiple locations gets worse. This MCP connects your agent directly to open weather data, letting you query any part of the globe for deep weather metrics. You don't have to jump between three different websites just to check rain chances, wind speed, and UV index for a single event location. Instead, you provide coordinates, and the system returns structured predictions that include everything from 16-day temperature trends to specific hourly details like dewpoint or solar radiation. It’s designed for complex planning—think logistics routes or large outdoor events—allowing your agent to plan with precision. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, your AI client immediately gains access to a reliable source of environmental data that changes how you build weather-aware applications. ## Tools ### get_weather_forecast Provides a weather forecast covering up to 16 days for any location using latitude and longitude. ### get_current_weather Retrieves the immediate, real-time weather conditions for an exact set of coordinates. ### get_hourly_details Generates detailed hour-by-hour weather data points like visibility and solar radiation for a specific location. ### get_daily_summary Calculates the daily summary, including sunrise/sunset times, maximum temperature, and wind direction for a location. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What's the weather forecast for Tokyo this week? ``` **Response:** ``` 🌦️ **Tokyo 7-Day Forecast** Today: 22°C, partly cloudy, 10% rain chance Tomorrow: 19°C, rain expected (85%), 12mm precipitation Wednesday: 24°C, sunny, UV index 7 (high) Wind speeds remain moderate at 15-20 km/h from the southeast. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What are the current weather conditions in New York? ``` **Response:** ``` 🌡️ **New York — Current Conditions** - Temperature: 18°C (feels like 16°C) - Humidity: 62% - Wind: 22 km/h NW, gusts up to 35 km/h - Cloud cover: 45% - Precipitation: None currently ``` **Prompt:** ``` Will it snow in Munich in the next 10 days? ``` **Response:** ``` ❄️ **Munich 10-Day Snow Analysis** Snowfall detected on days 4-5: - Day 4: 3.2mm snow, -2°C - Day 5: 1.8mm snow, -1°C - Snow depth expected to reach 5cm All other days remain above freezing with no snow expected. ``` ## Capabilities ### Generate multi-day predictions Get detailed weather forecasts for up to 16 days based on location coordinates. ### Check real-time conditions Retrieve an instant snapshot of current local weather, including wind speed and cloud cover. ### Analyze hourly metrics Access granular data points like dewpoint, visibility, and solar radiation for every hour in a given period. ### Summarize daily cycles Determine key planning times, including sunrise duration, sunset time, and max/min temperatures for any day. ## Use Cases ### Rerouting a multi-state delivery truck A logistics manager needs to know if three different stops in the Midwest will experience heavy rain this week. Using `get_weather_forecast`, they input all coordinates and ask their agent for a comparative 16-day view, allowing them to reroute the schedule before any delays happen. ### Setting up an outdoor festival tent layout An event organizer wants to maximize natural light and avoid high wind risk. They use `get_daily_summary` to find exact sunrise/sunset times and cross-reference that with the expected maximum wind direction, ensuring proper structural planning. ### Assessing crop irrigation needs An agricultural professional needs to know when the air is most conducive for watering. They use `get_hourly_details` to analyze dewpoint and evapotranspiration rates over a 24-hour cycle, making their resource usage highly efficient. ### Developing a travel itinerary widget A developer needs a reliable weather source for a new app. They use `get_current_weather` to pull real-time data and `get_weather_forecast` to populate the next two weeks of predictions, giving users an instant, comprehensive experience. ## Benefits - Forecasting 16 days out means you can plan entire seasons, not just today. You get long-term predictions covering temperature, wind, and precipitation probability via the `get_weather_forecast` tool. - The MCP gives you hyper-detailed metrics, like dewpoint or solar radiation. These hourly details are essential for scientific applications where general forecasts aren't enough; use `get_hourly_details` to access them. - Need an immediate status update? The `get_current_weather` tool provides a quick, precise reading of the temperature and wind gusts right now, which is perfect for real-time operational decisions. - Stop guessing about daylight hours. The `get_daily_summary` tool calculates sunrise/sunset times and sunshine duration, letting you structure events around natural light cycles with confidence. ## How It Works The bottom line is, you get deep, reliable weather data for any location without writing a single API call yourself. 1.
