Weather Bridge MCP

What is Weather Bridge MCP?

A Spring Boot implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables AI agents like GitHub Copilot to access weather data. It connects AI models to weather APIs through standardized MCP tools, complete with VS Code integration examples.

How to use Weather Bridge MCP?

Obtain an API key from a weather service, add it to application.properties, build and run the Spring Boot application. Then configure VS Code with the provided mcp.json and use GitHub Copilot agent mode to ask weather-related questions.

FAQ from Weather Bridge MCP

What does Weather Bridge MCP do?

It acts as a bridge between AI agents (like GitHub Copilot) and weather APIs, exposing weather data through standard MCP tools.

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

The server requires Java, Spring Boot, Spring AI MCP dependencies, and an API key from a weather service (e.g., OpenWeatherMap). The README uses Maven and Lombok.

How does the server transport work?

The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport on the /mcp/sse endpoint, configured via HttpServletSseServerTransportProvider.

How can I test Weather Bridge MCP with GitHub Copilot?

Run the server, configure VS Code with the provided mcp.json, activate GitHub Copilot agent mode, and ask questions like "What's the current weather in New York?".

Where does the weather data come from?

The server calls an external weather API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap) whose base URL and API key are configured in application.properties.
