Foehn
Let your coding agent pull Swiss MeteoSwiss open weather and climate series while you prototype dashboards, alerts, or location-aware features.
Overview
foehn is a MCP server for the Build phase that connects coding agents to MeteoSwiss open meteorological data via the foehn PyPI package.
What is this MCP server?
- Stdio MCP server (foehn 0.3.1 on PyPI) for MeteoSwiss open data
- Positional runtime argument mcp for local agent wiring
- Swiss-focused meteorological datasets for apps and automations
- Open-source repo at github.com/kayhendriksen/foehn
- Suitable for solo builders adding weather/climate context to agents
- Published version 0.3.1 on PyPI registryType
- Stdio transport with positional mcp runtime argument
- Data source: MeteoSwiss open meteorological data
Community signal: 40 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Swiss weather data is spread across MeteoSwiss open endpoints and formats that slow down agent-driven prototyping.
Who is it for?
Indie builders in Switzerland or building CH-specific products who want agent-accessible MeteoSwiss data during backend and integration work.
Skip if: Teams needing guaranteed global coverage, enterprise support contracts, or heavy production forecasting without their own reliability layer.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register foehn, your agent can query Swiss meteorological open data in natural language while you integrate features.
- Agent-callable access to Swiss meteorological open data
- Reduced custom HTTP client code for MeteoSwiss during build
- Reproducible local MCP launch via stdio and mcp argument
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Build because foehn is installed as an MCP integration that wires meteorological APIs into the product under construction. Integrations subphase fits a PyPI stdio MCP server whose job is fetching external open data, not ideation or ops runbooks.
How it compares
Regional open-data MCP integration, not a hosted global weather API product or a planning skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Foehn for?
Solo builders and small teams whose agents need MeteoSwiss open data while coding Swiss-relevant weather or climate features.
When should I use Foehn?
Use it during Build when you are wiring integrations and want the agent to fetch Swiss meteorological series without custom scrapers.
How do I add Foehn to my agent?
Install the Foehn package from PyPI (0.3.1), configure stdio MCP with the mcp positional argument, and point your client at io.github.kayhendriksen/Foehn.
