Openweather vs Weather
A side-by-side look at the Openweather 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 Openweather for environment & nature work as a local process; choose Weather for environment & nature as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Openweather when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Environment & Nature domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
current_weather, forecast, air_quality.

Tools & capabilities
Openweather tools 4
current_weatherGet 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" })forecastGet 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_qualityGet 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 })geocodeResolve 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 })
