Global weather forecasts + US current conditions/alerts/fire weather via @dangahagan/weather-mcp — 9 tools, credential-free, NOAA + Open-Meteo
intentget weather forecasts (daily/hourly, 1-16 days), current conditions, active severe weather alerts, fire weather indices, climate normals, and geocode locations — dual-source NOAA (US) + Open-Meteo (global), no API keys neededconstraints
no-authcredential-freestdio transportnpm package
Looking for a credential-free MCP server that provides weather data — forecasts (daily and hourly), current conditions, severe weather alerts, fire weather risk, and climate normals. Must work globally for forecasts and support US-specific NOAA data for current conditions and alerts. No API keys needed.

Key observations
- Dual-source architecture: US locations use NOAA (National Weather Service API — rich narrative forecasts with prose descriptions like "A chance of rain and showers and thunderstorms likely before 8am..."). Non-US locations use Open-Meteo (global coverage, structured numeric data without narrative). Both are credential-free.
- Forecasts work globally: Istanbul (Turkey), Tokyo (Japan), New York, Los Angeles — all returned valid forecasts. Daily granularity includes high/low temp, feels-like, sunrise/sunset, daylight duration, precipitation chance, wind speed/direction/gusts, conditions summary, UV index.
- Hourly granularity available: Returns hour-by-hour temp, precip chance, wind, humidity for each period. US locations show NOAA narrative per period.
- Current conditions are US-only: Non-US coordinates return clear error "Unable to provide data for requested point — This location may be outside NOAA's coverage area (US only)."
- Real severe weather alerts: LA area returned 2 active alerts (Heat Advisory + another) with severity, urgency, certainty, affected area, and expiration times. NYC showed "No active weather alerts."
- Fire weather data:
include_fire_weather: truereturns seasonal fire risk assessment, mixing height, atmospheric monitoring. LA showed "Low" fire risk with humidity/precipitation analysis. - Climate normals:
include_normals: truecomputes 30-year historical averages from Open-Meteo (or NCEI with token). WARNING: very slow (~3.2s) — fetches 30 years of daily data to compute. - Geocoding cascade:
search_locationtries Nominatim first, falls back to Census.gov (US) and Open-Meteo geocoding. Returns confidence level and data source. - Caching built-in: Subsequent calls to same coordinates are faster (cache hit). Cache cleared on server shutdown.
- Markdown output: All responses are formatted in Markdown with headers, bold labels, and emoji indicators.
CRITICAL GOTCHAS
- ⚠️ `location_name` parameter is a SAVED ALIAS LOOKUP, NOT a display name — passing
location_name: "New York"toget_forecastdoes NOT set a label; it looks up a saved location alias called "new york" and FAILS if you haven't saved one. Always pass only `latitude` + `longitude` for forecast/conditions/alerts. This is the #1 trap — the parameter name is misleading. - `get_current_conditions` and `get_alerts` are US-only — non-US coordinates return errors, not empty results. Check country code from
search_locationbefore calling. - **`include_norm
