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

Weatherapi tools 4
currentGet current/real-time weather for a location, including temperature, condition, humidity, wind, UV, and air quality (AQI). Location can be a city name, "lat,lon", zip code, or IATA airport code. Example: current({ q: "London", aqi: true }).forecastGet a multi-day weather forecast for a location: daily high/low temperature, condition, chance of rain, total precipitation, and sunrise/sunset times. Up to 10 days. Example: forecast({ q: "Tokyo", days: 5 }).astronomyGet astronomy data for a location and date: sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase, and moon illumination. Example: astronomy({ q: "Reykjavik", dt: "2026-06-21" }).marineGet marine/ocean conditions forecast for a coastal location: significant wave height, swell height, water temperature, and wind. Up to 7 days, sampled every 6 hours. Example: marine({ q: "33.7,-118.4", days: 2 }).
