SnowSure

Glama MCP server ora agent readiness score

Hosted, remote Model Context Protocol server for live ski & snow data — no install, keyless read access.

SnowSure gives AI assistants and agents grounded, verified snow intelligence: live conditions, 14‑day multi‑model forecasts, powder rankings, resort guides, webcams, ski‑pass intelligence, avalanche/road safety, and a natural‑language Answer Engine across 480+ ski resorts worldwide. Every answer is grounded in SnowSure's data (seven weather models + verified resort‑reported ground truth) — never open web search.
