MeteoSwiss Data

MeteoSwiss Data is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to official meteorological information from the MeteoSwiss Open Government Data portal. Designed for developers, researchers, and users tracking Swiss weather conditions, it enables language models to retrieve multi-day forecasts across roughly 6,000 Swiss postal codes, stations, and place names. The server also provides real-time measurements from approximately 300 weather stations updated every ten minutes, monitoring metrics like temperature, wind speed, air pressure, and humidity. Beyond standard forecasts, it supports regional pollen concentration monitoring across 15 monitoring sites and historical climate series from the National Basic Climatic Network dating back decades. Agents can query station networks using names, cantons, or GPS coordinates, while also performing web searches and full-page content retrieval from the official MeteoSwiss website in German, French, Italian, and English without requiring an API key.
