The Weather MCP Server provides weather information through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) using the Open-Meteo API. This server allows you to retrieve current weather data for any city as well as historical weather information and timezone-specific datetime information.
You can install the MCP Weather Server using pip:
pip install mcp_weather_server
After installation, you need to configure the server in your MCP settings file:
mcpServers
object in your cline_mcp_settings.json
file:{
"mcpServers": {
"weather": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"-m",
"mcp_weather_server"
],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
cline_mcp_settings.json
file.The Weather MCP Server provides three main tools that you can use to retrieve weather information.
Use the get_weather
tool to retrieve current weather information for a specific city:
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>weather</server_name>
<tool_name>get_weather</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"city": "Taipei"
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Use the get_weather_by_datetime_range
tool to retrieve weather information for a city between specified start and end dates:
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>weather</server_name>
<tool_name>get_weather_by_datetime_range</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"city": "London",
"start_date": "2024-01-01",
"end_date": "2024-01-07"
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
Use the get_current_datetime
tool to retrieve the current time in a specified timezone:
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>weather</server_name>
<tool_name>get_current_datetime</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"timezone_name": "America/New_York"
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
If no timezone is specified, UTC will be used as the default.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "weather" '{"command":"python","args":["-m","mcp_weather_server"],"disabled":false,"autoApprove":[]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
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.
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": {
"weather": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"-m",
"mcp_weather_server"
],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
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.
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.

~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"weather": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"-m",
"mcp_weather_server"
],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
