Overview

What is wgrib2-easy-mcp?

A simple MCP server designed to execute wgrib2 commands remotely via an MCP Client. Processed files are saved to a designated output directory. It is intended for users who need to interact with GRIB2 meteorological data files through a remote client interface.

How to use wgrib2-easy-mcp?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with uv pip install -r requirements.txt, and configure environment variables—notably the required OUTPUT_DIR (must exist before starting). Start the server with uv run --with python-dotenv --with mcp src/server.py. Connect your MCP Client and invoke the available tools, providing the path to a GRIB2 file. A sample script (src/sample/sample.py) demonstrates usage patterns.

Frequently asked questions

1

What are the prerequisites for the server machine?

Python 3.x, git, `uv` (Python project manager), and `wgrib2` installed and accessible in the system’s PATH are required. Also, an MCP Client environment must be able to connect to this server.

2

How do I configure wgrib2-easy-mcp?

Set the environment variable `OUTPUT_DIR` to an absolute path (the directory must exist before starting the server). Optionally set `WGRIB2_PATH` (defaults to `wgrib2` in PATH) and `TEST_GRIB2_FILE` for the sample script.

3

What tools does wgrib2-easy-mcp expose?

Three stable MCP tools: `list_contents` (lists inventory), `show_details` (displays message details), and `show_help` (provides wgrib2 help documentation).

4

Are file extraction or conversion tools already available?

No. Element extraction and conversions to CSV/binary are currently under development and are only demonstrated in the sample script for illustration. Stable tools for these operations are not yet provided.

5

Where are output files saved?

All generated files (e.g., CSV, binary extracts) are saved directly into the directory specified by the `OUTPUT_DIR` environment variable on the server machine. This directory must exist before launching the server.
