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