AEMET (Spain's Meteorological Agency) MCP server

AEMET-MCP is a server implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows AI assistants like Claude to access Spain's meteorological data from AEMET (State Meteorological Agency of Spain). It enables querying historical climate data, weather information, and beach conditions directly through compatible AI interfaces.

Installation Options

Via Smithery

For an automated installation using Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @AnCode666/aemet-mcp --client claude

Manual Installation with uv

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• uv package manager

Installing uv

On macOS and Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

On Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Alternative method using pip:

pip install uv

Client Integration

Setting up with Claude Desktop

1. Navigate to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this configuration inside the "mcpServers" section:

"aemet_mcp_": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
        "aemet_mcp"
    ],
    "env": {
        "AEMET_API_KEY": "YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY"
    }
}

3. Obtain a free API key from AEMET at: https://opendata.aemet.es/centrodedescargas/altaUsuario
4. Replace YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY with your actual API key (keep the quotes)
5. If you have other MCP servers configured, separate each configuration with a comma ,

Integration with Other MCP Clients

The same configuration block can be added to other MCP-compatible clients such as Cursor, CODEGPT, or Roo Code through their respective MCP server configuration interfaces.

Using AEMET-MCP

Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant natural language queries about Spanish weather data, such as:

• Weather conditions in specific cities
• Lists of beaches in a particular province
• Radiation levels at specific beaches
• Historical rainfall or temperature data for particular dates and locations
• Weather stations within a specific radius from coordinates

Example queries:

• "What's the weather like in Seville?"
• "Give me a list of the beaches in the province of Málaga"
• "Tell me the radiation levels at Maspalomas beach for tomorrow"
• "Give me the historical rainfall data for Albacete between January 1st, 2020 and February 1st, 2020"
• "Give me a list of the weather stations within a 50 km radius from the coordinates lat:40.4165, lon:-3.70256"

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "aemet_mcp_" '{"command":"uvx","args":["aemet_mcp"],"env":{"AEMET_API_KEY":"YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY"}}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "aemet_mcp_": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "aemet_mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "AEMET_API_KEY": "YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "aemet_mcp_": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "aemet_mcp"
            ],
            "env": {
                "AEMET_API_KEY": "YOUR_AEMET_API_KEY"
            }
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
