Frequently Asked Technical Questions (Meteosource)
How do you connect the Meteosource MCP server to an AI client?
The server communicates via the Model Context Protocol over streamable HTTP. You configure it by specifying the server endpoint address and providing your API key in the authorization HTTP header.
What type of weather data is available to AI agents?
Agents can query current, hourly, and daily forecasts, official severe weather alerts, air quality indexes, up to 20 years of historical data, and solar or wind production statistics.
Is OAuth or complex user sign-in required?
No OAuth or complex user login flows are required. Authorization is handled directly through the API key supplied in the request header of the client.
