AccuWeather MCP
Give Claude Code or Cursor live AccuWeather lookups so your agent can answer location forecasts without you copying data from a browser.
Overview
AccuWeather MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes AccuWeather-sourced weather tools to AI coding agents over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- AccuWeather-backed MCP tools exposed over stdio for agent hosts
- Docker OCI package docker.io/jonjam/accuweather-mcp:1.4.9 with pinned server schema
- Requires ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY as a secret environment variable
- GitHub source at JonJam/accuweather-mcp for audit and version 1.4.9
- MCP integration pattern—not a standalone weather app or cron job
- Server version 1.4.9
- Single required secret: ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY
- Package transport: stdio via OCI docker.io/jonjam/accuweather-mcp:1.4.9
What problem does it solve?
You want your agent to use real forecasts while you code, but manual copy-paste from weather sites breaks flow and goes stale fast.
Who is it for?
Indie devs adding weather widgets, trip planners, or alert logic who already have an AccuWeather API key and MCP-capable tooling.
Skip if: Builders who need free-tier weather without paid API keys, offline-only apps, or full production observability around rate limits.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server and set ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY, your agent can query AccuWeather-backed tools directly inside the IDE session.
- Registered MCP server the agent can invoke for weather lookups
- Repeatable env-based auth for AccuWeather inside your dev workflow
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Weather is an external API you wire in while building features, not a launch or growth playbook on its own. stdio MCP plus ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY fits the integrations shelf where solo builders connect third-party services to agents and apps.
How it compares
stdio MCP weather bridge, not a hosted SaaS dashboard or a Claude skill markdown playbook.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is AccuWeather MCP for?
Solo builders and small teams using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar hosts who want AccuWeather data available as MCP tools while they integrate weather into apps or agents.
When should I use AccuWeather MCP?
Use it during Build when you are implementing features that need current or forecast weather and you want the agent to fetch data instead of you pasting screenshots or JSON by hand.
How do I add AccuWeather MCP to my agent?
Add the server to your host MCP config, run the published OCI image or equivalent stdio entrypoint, and set the required secret ACCUWEATHER_API_KEY before restarting the client.
