Weather planning shouldn't require checking three different government websites.
Before, planning a week-long trip meant opening the local weather site for Taipei, then calling the county office for rainfall probability, and finally cross-referencing a separate seismic monitoring page. You spent hours copy-pasting dates and ranges into a spreadsheet just to compare risk factors.
Now, your agent handles it all. You ask for the week's forecast, and the server uses `get_taiwan_weekly_forecast` to pull 12-hour interval data for every township in one call. It gives you actionable movement patterns, not just pretty graphs.
Taiwan Weather (CWA) MCP Server: Get official seismic and weather reports.
You no longer have to manually track whether the minor quakes are separate from the major alerts. The server lets you run both `get_taiwan_earthquakes` and `get_taiwan_small_earthquakes` back-to-back, consolidating a full risk profile—the big picture plus the background noise.
It's simple: your agent runs the tools, gets the verified data from CWA, and hands you one clean, comprehensive report. It’s immediate.
What your AI can actually do with this
This MCP Server connects your AI client directly to the Central Weather Administration (CWA) of Taiwan. You're getting access to official, real-time seismic and meteorological records from one of Asia’s major monitoring networks. It handles everything from immediate earthquake reports to detailed, long-range weather planning.
When you need to check for significant geological activity, use get_taiwan_earthquakes. This tool pulls verified, official reports on large earthquakes across Taiwan and the surrounding region. You'll get key details like the event's magnitude, its depth, and precise epicenter coordinates—what you really need when assessing risk.
For analyzing background seismic activity, run get_taiwan_small_earthquakes. This function retrieves data specifically on minor-magnitude quakes. It’s critical for seismological research or if you're monitoring subtle shifts in activity that don't trigger major alerts, giving you a granular view of the tectonic environment.
When you need to plan trips, your options are pretty robust. If you only have three days, use get_taiwan_forecast. This function pulls a 36-hour weather forecast for specific major cities or counties across Taiwan. You'll get predicted temperature ranges and the probability of rain over that period.
When you need to plan weeks out, you've got get_taiwan_weekly_forecast. Running this tool gives you a full one-week outlook, but it breaks down conditions by individual townships in 12-hour chunks. This granularity is essential for complex itinerary planning or logistics where timing matters.
Combining these tools lets your agent handle highly specific requests. For instance, if you need to know the weather for a city and check for minor quakes that happened today, you can call both get_taiwan_forecast and get_taiwan_small_earthquakes. If your goal is pure risk assessment, you'll pull major quake reports using get_taiwan_earthquakes, then cross-reference the region with the long-term planning data from get_taiwan_weekly_forecast.
The system pulls together official reports on significant seismic events and detailed weather forecasts for townships across Taiwan. You won't find more direct, actionable government data anywhere else.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is: your agent gets verified, multi-source weather and seismic data directly into your workflow without needing to visit multiple government websites.
Tell your agent exactly what you need. For example: 'What's the 36-hour weather forecast for Kaohsiung?'
The server executes the appropriate tool (e.g., get_taiwan_forecast) and fetches data from the CWA feed.
Your AI client receives a structured JSON payload containing the raw, official predictions or event logs.
Who is this actually for?
Disaster response coordinators need this. They can't rely on local news feeds; they need the raw, official CWA data for rapid assessment. Logistics managers use it to plot routes around predicted weather closures or unstable ground. Researchers depend on the full spectrum of tools—from major quake reports to small-magnitude event logs—for deep geological modeling.
Uses get_taiwan_earthquakes and get_taiwan_forecast together to model evacuation routes based on immediate seismic risk and expected severe weather.
Runs get_taiwan_weekly_forecast to plan supply chain movements, ensuring vehicles avoid townships expecting high rain probability or seasonal closures.
Calls both get_taiwan_earthquakes and get_taiwan_small_earthquakes to build a complete picture of regional seismic activity over time.
What Changes When You Connect
Access CWA's official data directly. You skip cross-referencing multiple government sites; the server provides verified reports on both seismic activity and weather conditions using get_taiwan_earthquakes.
Plan trips with granular detail. The get_taiwan_weekly_forecast tool delivers 12-hour interval predictions for entire townships, which is way more useful than a single city summary.
Differentiate between risks. You can call both get_taiwan_earthquakes (big events) and get_taiwan_small_earthquakes (minor data). This lets you build a complete risk model without missing the minor tremors.
Know the immediate conditions. The 36-hour forecast from get_taiwan_forecast gives you enough lead time to adjust operations—you know if those afternoon thunderstorms are coming early or late in the window.
See it in action
Coordinating disaster relief after a tremor
The ground shakes, and you need immediate information. Your agent runs get_taiwan_earthquakes to confirm the quake's magnitude and epicenter. Then, it calls get_taiwan_forecast to see if heavy rain or typhoons are complicating rescue efforts in that specific region.
Planning a multi-day construction project
You need reliable outdoor work for the next two weeks. Instead of checking daily, you run get_taiwan_weekly_forecast to map out when rain probability dips low enough across multiple townships to allow safe material transport.
Writing a scientific paper on regional risk
Your research requires both major and minor data points. You use get_taiwan_earthquakes for the high-impact events, then supplement that with get_taiwan_small_earthquakes to provide a fuller picture of background seismic noise.
Adjusting travel plans around typhoons
A large typhoon is approaching. You use the 36-hour forecast (get_taiwan_forecast) to track the immediate severe weather changes in Taipei, and then cross-check with get_taiwan_weekly_forecast to see how long that impact will last.
The honest tradeoffs
Only checking the daily forecast
Assuming a single city's weather report is enough for an entire region or week. This leads to planning gaps when conditions change drastically between townships.
For long-term checks, always use get_taiwan_weekly_forecast because it provides 12-hour granularity across multiple townships, giving you a much clearer operational picture.
Ignoring minor quakes
Only running get_taiwan_earthquakes and missing the context of smaller, persistent seismic activity that points to building stress.
If your task is research or long-term risk assessment, run both get_taiwan_earthquakes AND get_taiwan_small_earthquakes to get a complete picture.
Relying on anecdotal data
Using local forum posts or non-official sources for critical safety planning. This data can be outdated, biased, or wrong.
Always use the MCP Server to call tools like get_taiwan_forecast and get_taiwan_earthquakes. The data comes directly from the CWA.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your job requires verifiable, layered information that spans both time (36 hours up to one week) and risk (major quakes down to small tremors). Specifically, if you need a combination of get_taiwan_earthquakes AND get_taiwan_forecast, this is the right tool. Don't use it if your only goal is checking today's weather—a simple local app works fine then. If your goal is deep seismology or multi-day logistics, you need the granularity of get_taiwan_weekly_forecast and the detail of get_taiwan_small_earthquakes. Never use this if you are operating outside the Western Pacific typhoon corridor; these tools only cover Taiwan.
