Once connected, Claude can:

• Answer questions about current weather conditions
• Provide detailed weather forecasts
• Alert users to severe weather warnings
• Make recommendations based on weather data
• fetch all added products
• add a product to the catalog (name, description, price, quantity)
• fetch a product by id
