MCP server for Swiss weather and climate data from MeteoSwiss.
Connects AI models to the SwissMetNet measurement network (160+ stations, 10-minute interval), MeteoSwiss ICON-CH1/CH2-EPS forecasts and climate normals 1991β2020. Part of the swiss-public-data-mcp portfolio.
π©πͺ Deutsche Version
How suitable is next Wednesday for the sports day at Leutschenbach school?
β meteo_school_check(location="ZΓΌrich Oerlikon", activity="Sporttag") returns a π’/π‘/π΄ traffic light for each day of the coming week β straight from the MeteoSwiss ICON model.
Combined with swiss-environment-mcp:
How were air quality and weather at Leutschenbach school yesterday?
β meteo_current(station='REH') + env_nabel_current(station='ZUE') = a complete environmental picture.
β More use cases by audience β
| Tool | Description | Data source |
|---|---|---|
meteo_stations | List SwissMetNet stations (filterable by canton) | Embedded |
meteo_current | Current 10-min observations for a station | BGDI STAC API |
meteo_forecast | 1β16 day forecast for a place or coordinates | Open-Meteo / MeteoSwiss ICON |
meteo_school_check | π’/π‘/π΄ traffic light for outdoor school events | Open-Meteo / MeteoSwiss ICON |
meteo_climate_normals | Monthly climate normals 1991β2020 | Embedded (KLO, SMA, BER, LUG, GVE) |
meteo_warnings | Current weather warnings & links | opendata.swiss + links |
All tools carry explicit MCP annotations β relevant for the client approval UI and for the LLM's safety decisions.
| Tool | readOnlyHint | destructiveHint | idempotentHint | openWorldHint |

meteo_stations | β | β | β | β (curated list) |

Read rules: all 6 tools are readOnly + non-destructive β the server fundamentally cannot write or delete anything. idempotentHint=False marks tools that return different values depending on when they are called.

Configuration via ENV variables (the CLI flags --http / --port N still work as an override):
| Variable | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
MCP_TRANSPORT | stdio | stdio or streamable-http |
MCP_HOST | 127.0.0.1 | Bind address β never change locally |
MCP_PORT | 8000 | Port |
MCP_ALLOW_ANY_HOST | unset | Must be set to 1 to allow the server to bind to 0.0.0.0 (containers/cloud only) |
MCP_LOG_LEVEL | INFO | DEBUG / INFO / WARNING / ERROR β structured JSON logs on stderr |
MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS | unset | Comma-separated list of allowed origins for CORS. Empty = CORS disabled (same-origin only). Mcp-Session-Id is exposed automatically. |
MCP_API_KEY | unset | If set: every request except /health requires X-API-Key: <key> or Authorization: Bearer <key>. Constant-time comparison. |
MCP_STATELESS_HTTP | 0 | 1 enables FastMCP stateless mode β each HTTP request opens a new session. Prerequisite for multi-replica deploys without sticky sessions (SCALE-002/003). |
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT | unset | If set + pip install meteoswiss-mcp[otel]: OpenTelemetry spans per tool call + automatic httpx instrumentation are sent as OTLP-HTTP to the collector. |
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME | meteoswiss_mcp | Service name in the OTel resources |
MCP_CACHE_ENABLED | 1 | 0 disables the TTL cache entirely (e.g. for end-to-end tests) |
MCP_CACHE_TTL_STAC | 300 | TTL in seconds for STAC SMN observations (default 5 min) |
MCP_CACHE_TTL_OPEN_METEO | 600 | TTL for ICON forecasts (default 10 min) |
MCP_CACHE_TTL_GEOCODING | 3600 | TTL for geocoding lookups (default 1 h) |
MCP_CACHE_TTL_OPENDATA | 3600 | TTL for the opendata.swiss catalogue (default 1 h) |
MCP_CACHE_TTL_WARNINGS | 300 | TTL for the structured warnings API (default 5 min) |
MCP_CLIMATE_NORMALS_PATH | unset | Path to a JSON file with additional climate normals β see data/climate-normals.example.json |
MCP_WARNINGS_API_URL | unset | URL of a structured MeteoSwiss warnings API. The host must be on the egress allow-list. Schema-tolerant (GeoJSON features, a warnings array or items). |
MCP_CLIMATE_NORMALS_URL_TEMPLATE | unset | URL template for runtime lookup of climate normals (for stations without embedded or JSON values). Tokens: {station} (lowercase), {STATION} (uppercase), {param} (MeteoSwiss code tre200m0/rre150m0/sre000m0). Example: https://data.geo.admin.ch/.../{station}/{param}.txt. The host must be on the egress allow-list. |

The repo includes a production-ready multi-stage Dockerfile (non-root user, HEALTHCHECK) and a render.yaml blueprint:
# Build + test locally
docker build -t meteoswiss-mcp .
docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 meteoswiss-mcp
curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/health # β {"status":"ok","service":"meteoswiss-mcp"}
On Render: "New β Blueprint" β select the repo. Defaults (plan starter, Frankfurt, single instance) are set in render.yaml.
Important: numInstances: 1 is set deliberately β sticky-session routing for multi-replica (audit SCALE-002/003) is not yet implemented.
All tool invocations, upstream failures and egress blocks are emitted as JSON events on stderr (stdio-transport safe). Example:
{"tool": "meteo_forecast", "days": 7, "has_coords": false, "event": "tool_invoked", "level": "info", "timestamp": "2026-05-20T07:00:00Z"}
{"tool": "meteo_forecast", "endpoint": "geocoding", "error_type": "HTTPStatusError", "event": "upstream_failed", "level": "warning", "timestamp": "..."}
{"url": "https://evil.example.com/", "method": "GET", "reason": "host not in allow-list", "event": "egress_blocked", "level": "warning", "timestamp": "..."}
MCP_HOST deliberately defaults to 127.0.0.1 so that --http on a dev laptop is not accidentally exposed to the local subnet (audit finding SEC-016).data.geo.admin.ch, api.open-meteo.com, geocoding-api.open-meteo.com, opendata.swiss. Other hosts and IP literals (in particular 169.254.169.254, RFC1918) are rejected with EgressBlocked (SEC-004 / SEC-021).MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=<csv> β the Mcp-Session-Id header is then automatically in Access-Control-Expose-Headers (SDK-004).MCP_API_KEY=<random> β requests without a valid X-API-Key or Authorization: Bearer β¦ are rejected with 401 (SEC-009 / SEC-013). /health stays open for container health probes.# 32 bytes of randomness as the auth key
export MCP_API_KEY=$(python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))")
