MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~7,973 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

openmeteo_get_air_quality ~908

Modeled CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) air quality: PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, dust, pollen, and European/US AQI indices. This is modeled grid data, not measured station readings — for measured data, use openaq-mcp-server. Forecast horizon up to 7 days, with optional past_days (up to 92) for recent history — or start_date and end_date together for an archive range; the CAMS global archive begins in August 2022, and earlier dates return rows of nulls. One window per call: a date range is mutually exclusive with forecast_days and past_days, and needs both ends — a lone start_date or end_date is rejected. Common variables: pm2_5, pm10, carbon_monoxide, nitrogen_dioxide, sulphur_dioxide, ozone, dust, european_aqi, us_aqi, alder_pollen, birch_pollen, grass_pollen, mugwort_pollen, olive_pollen, ragweed_pollen. Set current_variables for pollutant and AQI values at this instant — returned as a current object plus a current_units map, and enough on its own without hourly_variables; the block’s interval field reports how often that value updates (3600 seconds on this endpoint). A wide window — a large past_days or date range plus many variables — produces thousands of records; these spill to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true — inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query. With canvas disabled they return a bounded preview instead.

openmeteo_get_climate ~781

Long-range climate projections from bias-corrected daily CMIP6 models, covering 1950-01-01 to 2050-12-31 at any coordinate. Answers "what will conditions look like through 2050?" — the future-projection counterpart to openmeteo_get_historical (the observed archive, what happened). Daily resolution only. Available models: CMCC_CM2_VHR4, FGOALS_f3_H, HiRAM_SIT_HR, MRI_AGCM3_2_S, EC_Earth3P_HR, MPI_ESM1_2_XR, NICAM16_8S. A model name outside that list is sent upstream rather than rejected here, so a model Open-Meteo adds later still works; if upstream rejects the request, the error names the offending model on its own rather than the whole requested list. With 2+ models each variable appears once per model with the model name as suffix (e.g. temperature_2m_max_CMCC_CM2_VHR4); a single or omitted model returns plain variable names. Not all models carry all variables — missing combinations return null. Multi-decade daily pulls across several models produce thousands of records and spill to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true — inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query. With canvas disabled they return a bounded preview instead.

openmeteo_get_ensemble ~1,393

Probabilistic ensemble weather forecast — up to 64 ensemble members, up to 16 days ahead with optional past_days (0–92). Each member's values appear as separate columns named with a member suffix (e.g. temperature_2m_member01, temperature_2m_member02). Use the spread across members to compute exceedance probabilities, quantify forecast uncertainty, and build decision thresholds. Available models: ecmwf_ifs025_ensemble (51 members, global 0.25°), ecmwf_aifs025_ensemble (51, global 0.25°), ecmwf_ifs_europe_ensemble (51, Europe 9 km), ecmwf_aifs_europe_ensemble (51, Europe 31 km), google_weathernext2_ensemble (64, global 0.25°), ncep_gefs_seamless (31, global blend), ncep_gefs025 (31, global 0.25°), ncep_gefs05 (31, global 50 km, 35 days), ncep_aigefs025 (31, global 0.25°), icon_seamless_eps (20–40, global/Europe blend), icon_global_eps (40, global 26 km), icon_eu_eps (40, Europe 13 km), icon_d2_eps (20, Central Europe 2 km), gem_global_ensemble (21, global 0.25°), bom_access_global_ensemble (18, global 40 km), ukmo_global_ensemble_20km (18, global 20 km), ukmo_uk_ensemble_2km (3, UK 2 km), meteoswiss_icon_ch1_ensemble (11, Central Europe 1 km), meteoswiss_icon_ch2_ensemble (21, Central Europe 2 km). Omit models to use the API default blend. A regional model returns no data outside the area it covers; that comes back as an input error naming the coverage gap, not a transient failure, so pick a global model or move the coordinate inside the region rather than retrying. A model name this list does not carry is still sent upstream, so a newly added one keeps working. Large multi-member, multi-day pulls produce thousands of records and spill to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true — inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query. With canvas disabled they return a bounded preview instead. At least one of hourly_variables or daily_variables is requi…

openmeteo_get_flood ~748

GloFAS (Global Flood Awareness System) river discharge forecast and historical reanalysis. Returns daily ensemble river discharge (m³/s) for the largest modeled river within 5 km of the given coordinates — no river ID needed. That river is not always the closest one: at 5 km resolution a point near a confluence or a pair of parallel channels can resolve to an unintended reach. When the returned discharge looks unrepresentative for the intended river, Open-Meteo suggests varying the coordinate by about 0.1° and comparing the values. Forecast horizon up to 210 days ahead; reanalysis history back to 1984-01-01. One mode per call: forecast_days for the future outlook, or start_date and end_date together for reanalysis history. The two modes are mutually exclusive, and a date range needs both ends — a lone start_date or end_date is rejected. Available daily variables: "river_discharge" (ensemble mean), "river_discharge_mean", "river_discharge_min", "river_discharge_max", "river_discharge_median", "river_discharge_p25" (25th percentile), "river_discharge_p75" (75th percentile). Returns null for coordinates far from any river or in areas without GloFAS coverage. A wide reanalysis range produces thousands of daily records and spills to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true — inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query. With canvas disabled it returns a bounded preview instead.

openmeteo_get_forecast ~1,052

Weather forecast for coordinates: hourly and/or daily variables for up to 16 days ahead, with optional past_days (up to 92) for recent history. Use past_days instead of openmeteo_get_historical for dates within the last 1–5 days, since the archive’s ERA5 components lag by up to ~5 days. Returns per-timestamp records — each hourly entry contains a "time" field (ISO 8601) plus one key per requested variable; each daily entry contains a "time" field (YYYY-MM-DD) plus requested variables. Common hourly variables: temperature_2m, precipitation, wind_speed_10m, relative_humidity_2m, cloud_cover, uv_index, apparent_temperature, precipitation_probability, weather_code, surface_pressure, visibility, wind_direction_10m, wind_gusts_10m, dew_point_2m. Common daily variables: temperature_2m_max, temperature_2m_min, precipitation_sum, wind_speed_10m_max, sunrise, sunset, uv_index_max, precipitation_hours, weather_code. Set current_variables for conditions at this instant — Open-Meteo serves those from 15-minute model data, which is more precise than picking the nearest hourly row, and the response carries a current object plus a current_units map. A wide window — a large past_days plus many hourly variables — produces thousands of records; these spill to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true — inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query. With canvas disabled they return a bounded preview instead. At least one of current_variables, hourly_variables, or daily_variables is required.

openmeteo_get_historical ~1,173

Historical weather from the Open-Meteo reanalysis archive (1940–present). Requires start_date and end_date (ISO 8601 date, e.g., "2024-07-01"). With models omitted the archive answers from Best Match, which blends IFS HRES, ERA5, and ERA5-Land seamlessly — so the source varies by date and no single update lag describes the response. Set models to pin a consistent source for a multi-decade series: the ERA5 family updates daily with about a 5-day delay, while IFS HRES has none, so for the last few days either request models: ["ecmwf_ifs"] or use openmeteo_get_forecast with past_days. Available models: best_match (default, blends IFS HRES + ERA5 + ERA5-Land), ecmwf_ifs (global 9 km, updated every 6 hours, no delay), ecmwf_ifs_analysis_long_window (global 9 km, daily, 2 days delay), era5_seamless (ERA5 and ERA5-Land combined), era5 (global 0.25° (~25 km), daily, 5 days delay), era5_land (global 0.1° (~11 km), daily, 5 days delay), era5_ensemble (global 0.5° (~55 km), daily, 5 days delay), cerra (Europe only, 5 km, no real-time updates). Uses the same variable names as the forecast API for direct comparison. Large date ranges (multi-year hourly) produce thousands of records — these spill to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true; inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query. With canvas disabled they return a bounded preview instead. At least one of hourly_variables or daily_variables is required.

openmeteo_get_marine ~828

Marine wave and ocean conditions for a coastal or ocean coordinate: wave height, wave period, wave direction, wind-wave height, swell height, sea-surface temperature. Forecast horizon up to 8 days, with optional past_days (up to 92) for recent history — or start_date and end_date together for an archive range, which returns real wave values back to at least 2022. One window per call: a date range is mutually exclusive with forecast_days and past_days, and needs both ends — a lone start_date or end_date is rejected. Returns per-timestamp records — each entry contains a "time" field plus one key per requested variable. Best for open-ocean and coastal exposed points — sheltered inland waters return near-zero wave values. Common hourly variables: wave_height, wave_direction, wave_period, wind_wave_height, wind_wave_direction, wind_wave_period, swell_wave_height, swell_wave_direction, swell_wave_period. Common daily: wave_height_max, wave_direction_dominant, wave_period_max. Note: ocean_current_velocity is null for non-open-ocean coordinates. A wide window — a large past_days or date range plus many variables — produces thousands of records; these spill to a DataCanvas when canvas is enabled, returning canvas_id and table_name with truncated: true — inspect the staged columns with openmeteo_dataframe_describe, then query the full set with openmeteo_dataframe_query.

openmeteo_search_locations ~570

Resolve a place name to ranked coordinate matches with country, region, elevation, timezone, and population. Required prerequisite for name-based queries — all weather tools take latitude/longitude, not place names. Search by a bare place name (city, region, or landmark); never fold a qualifier into it — pass "Baoding", not "Baoding Hebei", and "Paris", not "Paris, France". To disambiguate places that share a name, set the country input (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. "US") and/or read the admin1 and country fields on each ranked result — admin1 is a result field for choosing among matches, not a search input. Returns up to 10 matches ranked by population/relevance.
