Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
O
Choose Openweather when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Get the current weather for a city or coordinates: temperature, "feels like", conditions, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover. Example: current_weather({ city: "London", units: "metric" })
forecast
Get a multi-step weather forecast (3-hour intervals) for a city or coordinates: temperature, conditions, wind speed, and precipitation probability over time. Example: forecast({ city: "Tokyo", count: 8 })
air_quality
Get the current air quality for a set of coordinates: an air quality index (AQI, 1=Good to 5=Very Poor) plus pollutant component concentrations (CO, NO2, O3, PM2.5, PM10, etc.). Example: air_quality({ lat: 51.5, lon: -0.12 })
geocode
Resolve a place name (city, optionally with state/country) to geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude). Useful before calling air_quality, which needs lat/lon. Example: geocode({ query: "Paris", limit: 5 })

Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Openweather is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Geo belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Openweather when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Geo when you require tools for developer tools.
Convert an address or place name to up to 5 matching coordinates via OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Returns latitude, longitude, display_name, and place type for each result.
reverse_geocode
Convert coordinates to a physical address. Returns street address, city, country, and postal code. Use to identify locations from lat/lng pairs.
get_country
Get country information by name or ISO code (e.g., 'US', 'FR'). Returns capital, population, currency, languages, and neighboring countries. Use for regional context or facts.
get_timezone
Look up the IANA timezone name, current local time, and UTC offset (hours) for a given latitude and longitude via TimeAPI.io. Requires coordinates — does not accept city names.
get_sunrise_sunset
Fetch sunrise, sunset, solar noon, civil twilight begin/end, and day length (seconds) for a given latitude/longitude on an optional YYYY-MM-DD date (defaults to today) via the Sunrise-Sunset API.
