MCP.Pizza Chef: ezh0v

One tool ships here, and it does a single job: given a city name, it reports the conditions there at this moment. There is no forecast, no severe-weather warnings and no history — just now, one place at a time. Readings come from WeatherAPI.com, so you need a free account with them for a key. Getting it running means building the program yourself or launching it in a container, which puts it beyond most non-technical people. The code was last touched in March 2026.

Weather API MCP Server

License Go Version

Report Bug | Request Feature

A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to retrieve and interpret real-time weather data.

Installing on Claude Desktop

To use your MCP server with Claude Desktop, add it to your Claude configuration:

1. Local mode

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/weather-mcp-server",
      "env": {
        "WEATHER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can get an API key from your personal account on WeatherAPI.

weather-mcp-server FAQ

Is it still being maintained?

Quietly, yes. It is a small one-developer project with automated tests, and the last code change was March 2026. Nothing suggests it has been abandoned.

Do I need a key?

Yes. You sign up at WeatherAPI.com, copy the key from your account page, and paste it into your assistant's settings. Their free plan is plenty for personal questions.

Can I use this to see tomorrow's forecast?

No. It offers exactly one thing — current conditions for a named city. Anything about later today, tomorrow or last week is outside what it can do.

How hard is the setup?

Harder than most. There is no ready-made installer: you either compile it yourself or run it as a container, then point your assistant at the result.

Which apps does it work in?

Claude Desktop is the documented one, and any MCP-capable assistant should work. It can also run as a shared service on a machine that several people point at over the network.

Does it cost anything?

The add-on is free and open source. The weather readings come from a third party whose free tier covers casual use, with paid plans only if you hammer it.
