Geo vs MCP Weather
A side-by-side look at the Geo and MCP Weather MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Geo for location services work; choose MCP Weather for location services as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
