MCP Weather Aggregator

AI-powered weather aggregation from 6 sources with intelligent deduction using GPT-5-mini. Works as both a REST API for web apps and an MCP Server for AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, etc.).

✨ Features

• 🌤️ Multi-source aggregation - Open-Meteo, OpenWeatherMap, WeatherAPI, Visual Crossing, MET Norway (Yr.no), DWD (Bright Sky)
• 🤖 AI-powered deduction - GPT-5-mini analyzes differences and deduces most accurate values
• 🔌 Dual Mode - Runs as REST API (FastAPI) or MCP Server (FastMCP)
• 🎨 Ambient theming - Dynamic gradients based on weather/time (sunny, rainy, storm, night, fog, sandstorm, blizzard, aurora...)
• 🧠 Advanced Data Processing - Uses EWMA (Exponential Smoothing) for forecast curves and Kalman Filter for sensor fusion
• 📊 Confidence scores - Based on source agreement (0-1)
• 📅 Forecasts - Daily (up to 16 days) + Hourly (24 hours)
• 🌅 Astronomy - Sunrise/sunset, moon phases
• 🌍 Multi-language - EN, CZ
• 📍 Geolocation - Automatic location detection with reverse geocoding (shows city name, not coordinates)
• 🚀 Smart Caching - Redis-backed caching for geocoding (24h), weather data (30m), and aurora (1h)
• 🛡️ Security - Rate limiting, security headers, and input sanitization
• 🌌 Aurora forecast - Real-time aurora borealis visibility prediction from NOAA data

🚀 Quick Start

1. Configure API Keys

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

# Required for AI deduction
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

# Weather providers (add keys to enable more sources)
OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY=your_key  # openweathermap.org
WEATHERAPI_KEY=your_key          # weatherapi.com
VISUALCROSSING_KEY=your_key      # visualcrossing.com

2. Install Dependencies

This project uses uv for dependency management.

# Windows
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | powershell -c -

# Install project dependencies
uv sync

3. Run Application

Option A: Run as MCP Server (for AI Assistants)

Connect this server to your MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.).

# Run directly
uv run mcp-weather

# OR via python module
uv run python -m src.server

#### Option C: Run with Docker (Recommended)

Full stack (Backend + Frontend + Redis) in one command:

```bash
docker-compose up --build

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• API: http://localhost:8000
• Redis: localhost:6379

### 5. Configure Claude Desktop

To use this server with Claude Desktop, edit your config file:
- **Windows**: `C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
- **Mac/Linux**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

Add the following configuration (adjust path to your project):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather": {
      "command": "C:\\Path\\To\\mcp-weather\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "src.server"
      ],
      "cwd": "C:\\Path\\To\\mcp-weather",
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "C:\\Path\\To\\mcp-weather"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The PYTHONPATH environment variable is crucial for the server to find the src module correctly.

Available MCP Tools:

• search_location(query) - Find coordinates for a city
• get_current_weather(location_name) - Get current weather + AI summary
• get_weather_forecast(location_name, days) - Full forecast + AI deduction
• get_weather_by_coordinates(lat, lon) - Weather for exact location
• get_ambient_theme(location_name) - Get UI theme colors for current weather
• get_aurora_forecast(location_name) - Aurora Borealis forecast & visibility

Option B: Run as REST API (for Frontend)

Starts the FastAPI server on http://localhost:8000.

# Run directly
uv run mcp-weather-api

# OR via python module
uv run python -m src.api

4. Run Frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 🚀

📡 API Endpoints (REST Mode)

Endpoint	Method	Description
/search	POST	Search locations by name
