met-mcp

An MCP server for weather forecasts from MET Norway (Yr). Built as a learning project.

Available three ways:

• npm: met-mcp — run locally over stdio
• Remote: https://met-mcp.met-mcp-worker.workers.dev/mcp — Streamable HTTP on Cloudflare Workers, add it as a claude.ai connector
• MCP registry: io.github.trondbjoroy/met-mcp

Tools

• geocode_location(name, count) — find coordinates for a place name. Uses the free Open-Meteo geocoder, because MET has no geocoding API.
• get_forecast(latitude, longitude, hours) — hourly forecast from MET Locationforecast 2.0. Works worldwide, best in the Nordics.
• get_nowcast(latitude, longitude) — radar-based precipitation for the next 2 hours. Nordics only.
• get_weather_alerts(latitude?, longitude?) — official Norwegian danger warnings (MetAlerts). Omit coordinates for all of Norway.
• get_sun_events(latitude, longitude, date, utc_offset) — sunrise, sunset, and solar noon. Worldwide.
• get_ocean_forecast(latitude, longitude, hours) — wave height and sea temperature along the Norwegian coast.
• find_weather_stations(latitude, longitude, count) — nearest official weather stations (Frost).
• get_historical_weather(station_id, from, to, elements) — daily historical observations from the Frost archive; some stations go back over 100 years.

The two Frost tools need a free client ID from https://frost.met.no/auth/requestCredentials.html, set as the FROST_CLIENT_ID env var (or a Cloudflare secret for the worker). The other tools need nothing.

Tool definitions live in src/tools.ts, shared between the stdio server and the worker.

Build and test

npm install
npm run build
npm test

The test spawns the server over stdio and calls both tools against the live APIs.

Use with Claude Code

claude mcp add met-weather -- node C:\Users\trond\met-mcp\dist\index.js

Then ask Claude: "What is the weather in Bergen tomorrow?"

MET terms of service

• Send an identifying User-Agent with contact info. Set the MET_USER_AGENT env var, e.g. met-mcp/0.1.0 you@example.com.
• Send at most 4 decimals in coordinates. The server rounds for you.
• Data license: NLOD / CC BY 4.0. Credit MET Norway when you show the data.

Remote version

worker/ holds the Cloudflare Workers deployment: the same two tools served over MCP Streamable HTTP with createMcpHandler (MCP SDK v2). Develop with npm run dev, ship with npm run deploy (both from worker/).

How it works

• src/index.ts is the whole server. It speaks MCP over stdio: JSON-RPC on stdin/stdout.
• Each tool declares an input schema with Zod. The MCP client (Claude) reads the schema and validates arguments.
• Tool results are content blocks. This server returns JSON as text, trimmed to what an LLM needs — the raw MET response has ~90 timesteps with far more fields.
• Never write to stdout with console.log. It corrupts the protocol stream. Log to stderr.
