MCP server

Weather MCP server

AccuWeather's MCP server connects AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor directly to Core Weather data. Ask a question in one of those tools and it retrieves the forecast, current conditions, or alerts it needs to answer you.

It uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI applications to outside data.

What you get

All 91 Core Weather GET endpoints, available as 26 tools your client can call.

  • Nothing to switch on. The server is live for every free trial and Elite subscriber.
  • No separate credential. Your existing free trial or Elite API key works.
  • No separate pricing. Each tool call counts as one Core Weather call.

Not included

MinuteCast™ and Lightning are not served over MCP. Keep calling those over REST.

What next?

  • Endpoint and authentication — the URL, your API key, and the two ways to send it
  • Client connection — setup for Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and MCP Inspector
  • Tools — what each tool returns and what you can ask for
  • Usage and billing — what MCP costs on your plan
