Weatherapi vs Hindsight
A side-by-side look at the Weatherapi and Hindsight MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Weatherapi for environment & nature work as a local process; choose Hindsight for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Weatherapi when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Environment & Nature domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
current, forecast, astronomy.
Choose Hindsight when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Knowledge & Memory domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: API key required.
- You have the keys it needs:
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY, HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER, HINDSIGHT_DB_PASSWORD.

Tools & capabilities
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 }).

Frequently asked questions
Weatherapi is categorized under Environment & Nature and uses a local stdio subprocess. Hindsight belongs to Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Weatherapi for environment & nature work and Hindsight for knowledge & memory.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Weatherapi has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Hindsight is listed as free. Auth: api key required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add weatherapi and vectorize-io-hindsight as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
