A side-by-side look at the Climate Feeds and Weather Gc Ca MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Climate Feeds for environment & nature work as a local process; choose Weather Gc Ca for environment & nature as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
list_feeds, read_feed, fetch_feed.current_observations, active_alerts, climate_daily.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

list_feedsList the curated climate & energy feeds (id, title, category, source). Optionally filter by category (climate, energy) or keyword. Pass an id to read_feed.read_feedRead a curated climate & energy feed by its id (from list_feeds). Returns normalized items (title, link, published, summary). Optionally filter items by keyword.fetch_feedFetch and normalize any RSS / Atom / RDF feed by URL. CF-robust: fetches directly and falls back to a proxy if the source blocks the gateway. Use list_feeds first for curated sources.current_observationsLatest real-time surface weather observations from Environment Canada stations near a point (swob-realtime). Returns station name, observation time, air temp, dewpoint, humidity, wind, pressure, snow depth. Example: latitude 43.65, longitude -79.38 for Toronto. Keyless, official ECCC data.active_alertsActive Environment Canada weather alerts (warnings, watches, statements) across Canada, optionally filtered near a point. Returns alert name, type, risk colour, affected area, province, effective/expiry times and a text excerpt. Example: latitude 43.65, longitude -79.38 for Toronto-area alerts. Key…climate_dailyDaily climate records (max/min/mean temperature °C, total precipitation mm, snow on ground cm) for an Environment Canada station over a date range. Use a 7-digit climate identifier, e.g. "6158355" (TORONTO CITY) or "1108395" (VANCOUVER INTL A). Station IDs come from the climate-stations collection.…geomet_collectionsDirectory of every dataset Environment and Climate Change Canada publishes through MSC GeoMet (100+ OGC API Features collections). Returns each collection id, title, description, keywords and geographic extent. Use it to find what Canadian weather, water, air-quality or climate-projection data exis…hydrometric_stations_nearWater Survey of Canada river and lake gauges near a point, from the MSC GeoMet hydrometric-stations collection. AUTHORITATIVE for "which gauge measures the <Canadian river> at <place>" — these are the official federal hydrometric stations. Returns station number (the id you pass to hydrometric_real…hydrometric_realtimeReal-time water level (metres) and discharge/flow (m3/s) readings from Water Survey of Canada gauges, typically every 5-15 minutes and covering the last 30 days. AUTHORITATIVE for "how high is the <Canadian river> right now" and for flood watching in Canada. Pass a station number from hydrometric_s…Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
