Overview

What is Mcp Server Weather Example?

Mcp Server Weather Example is a cloud-deployable Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides real-time weather data from the U.S. National Weather Service API. Built with FastAPI and Server-Sent Events (SSE), it allows AI agents like GitHub Copilot to query weather alerts and forecasts via secure API key authentication.

How to use Mcp Server Weather Example?

Clone the repository, set the API_KEYS environment variable, and deploy to Azure Container Apps with az containerapp up. Configure a .vscode/mcp.json file with the server’s SSE URL and API key, then connect from Visual Studio Code’s MCP extension. You can then query weather data through GitHub Copilot Chat in Agent mode.

Frequently asked questions

What tools does Mcp Server Weather Example provide?

It provides two tools: `get_alerts()` for weather alerts and `get_forecast()` for weather forecasts, both backed by the U.S. National Weather Service API.

How is the server secured?

Requests are authenticated via an `x-api-key` header. API keys are set as environment variables (`API_KEYS`) and can be a single key or multiple comma-separated keys.

What are the deployment requirements?

Deployment uses Azure CLI’s `az containerapp up` command, which builds a Docker image (Python 3.13, `uv` web server) and deploys it to Azure Container Apps. The server exposes an SSE endpoint at `/sse`.

How do I connect the server to VS Code?

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file with the server’s URL (ending in `/sse`) and your API key. Then start the server entry from the MCP extension sidebar and enter the key when prompted.

Can I use this server with GitHub Copilot?

Yes, after connecting via VS Code’s MCP extension, you can ask GitHub Copilot Chat (in Agent mode) weather-related questions, and it will call the MCP tools to answer with live data.
