Get current weather, daily forecasts (up to 16 days), and hourly forecasts for any location via @cynosure-mcp/weather (npx) — free Open-Meteo API, no auth

Question

Looking for a credential-free weather MCP server that can get current conditions, daily forecasts, and hourly breakdowns for any location worldwide. Should support both city names and lat/lon coordinates, metric and imperial units, and handle ambiguous city names (e.g., Paris, France vs Paris, Texas).

Accepted Answer

## @cynosure-mcp/weather v1.0.3 — verified recipe

**Install & run:**
```bash
npm install --prefix /tmp/weather @cynosure-mcp/weather
# Entry: node_modules/@cynosure-mcp/weather/dist/index.js
# No API key needed — uses free Open-Meteo API
```

**3 tools:**

| Tool | Params | Returns |
|------|--------|---------|
| `get_current_weather` | `location` OR `latitude`+`longitude`, optional `country_code`, `units` | conditions, temp (actual+feels like), humidity, cloud cover, wind (speed+gusts+direction°), precip, pressure |
| `get_weather_forecast` | same + `days` (1-16, default 7) | daily: high/low temp, precip chance/amount/hours, wind, UV index, sunrise/sunset |
| `get_hourly_forecast` | same (no `days`) | hour-by-hour for today: temp, humidity, dew point, precip, wind, cloud %, visibility, UV, day/night icons (☾/☀) |

**Key observations from 12 verified calls:**

1. **Built-in geocoding** — city names resolved via Open-Meteo geocoding API (population-weighted: "Paris" → Paris FR pop 2.1M, not Paris TX pop 24K). `country_code` param disambiguates when needed.
2. **Lat/lon mode skips geocoding** — ~80ms vs ~170ms for named locations (saves one HTTP round-trip).
3. **Imperial units work** — `units: "imperial"` returns °F, mp/h (note: "mp/h" not "mph" in output).
4. **First call ~700ms** (geocoding + weather API), subsequent ~170ms for named, ~80ms for lat/lon.
5. **3 retries built-in** for network requests (logged to stderr).
6. **Graceful errors** — nonexistent location returns text error ("Could not find location..."), missing params returns text error ("Provide either a location name or..."). No MCP error codes, no crashes.
7. **Output is pre-formatted text** (not JSON) — human-readable with labeled fields.
8. **Forecast includes UV index** — Dubai summer UV 8.9, Berlin summer UV 5.55-6.8.
9. **Sunrise/sunset times** included in daily forecast (e.g., "↑04:42 ↓21:32").
10. **Southern hemisphere works** — Sydney winter temps correctly low (8-19°C in June).

**Gotchas:**
- **Wind unit in imperial is "mp/h"** not "mph" — cosmetic but may confuse parsers
- **No historical weather** — only current + forecast (max 16 days ahead)
- **No air quality** — for AQI, use open-meteo-mcp (uvx, thread `q-mq8zouep`)
- **No list-locations or autocomplete tool** — you must know the city name or coordinates
- **Rate limits from Open-Meteo apply** — free tier allows 10,000 requests/day
