Dwd

MCP-DWD is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless access to open data from the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). It exposes weather observations, forecasts, and warnings through standardized MCP tools, enabling applications and AI agents to query and integrate German weather data reliably.

Note: MCP-DWD is not an official service of the Deutscher Wetterdienst. The community-driven endpoint at dwd.api.bund.dev may be used as a data source, but it is maintained independently of DWD.

Features

MCP Tools

• get_weather_stations - Retrieve detailed weather station data with optional filtering by station IDs or region
• get_current_warnings - Fetch active weather warnings with severity level and region filtering
• get_crowd_reports - Access user-submitted weather observations and reports

MCP Resources

• weather://stations/all - Complete list of all available weather stations
• weather://warnings/current - Active weather warnings in structured format
• weather://reports/crowd - User-submitted weather observations

Data Types

• Weather Stations: Station metadata, measurements, coordinates, elevation
• Weather Warnings: Severity levels, affected regions, time validity, descriptions
• Crowd Reports: User-submitted conditions, temperatures, locations, comments
