README

This MCP server provides access to Hong Kong Observatory weather data APIs. It implements various tools that allow clients to retrieve weather forecasts, earthquake information, tide data, and other meteorological information through the Model Context Protocol.

Available Weather Data Tools

  • 9-day Weather Forecast (fnd)
  • Current Weather Report (rhrread)
  • Local Weather Forecast (flw)
  • Weather Warning Information (warningInfo)
  • Weather Warning Summary (warnsum)
  • Special Weather Tips (swt)
  • Quick Earthquake Messages (qem)
  • Locally Felt Earth Tremor Report (feltearthquake)
  • Tide Information (HHOT, HLT)
  • Astronomical Data (SRS, lunardate)
  • Lightning and Visibility Data (LHL, LTMV)
  • Temperature Records (CLMTEMP, CLMMAXT, CLMMINT)
  • Radiation Level Reports (RYES)
  • Rainfall Data (hourlyrainfall)

Usage Examples

Get 9-day weather forecast

prompt:

what is the weather in next Wed ?

Get current weather report

prompt:

what is the weather now ?
