Canadian Weather MCP Server | Python + Claude Desktop + Weather API

Description

In this video, I walk you through how I built a fully functional Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that fetches real-time Canadian weather data — current conditions, 7-day forecasts, and active weather alerts — all powered by Environment Canada. Using the MCP framework, I expose three tools that any MCP-compatible AI client (like Claude) can call directly: 🌡️ get_canada_weather — current weather & 7-day forecast by city name 📍 get_canada_weather_by_coords — weather by latitude & longitude (great for cities not in the named list!) ⚠️ get_canada_weather_alerts — active alerts from Environment Canada Under the hood, the server pulls data from two public APIs: ☀️ Open-Meteo (https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast) — for current conditions and 7-day forecasts 🚨 Environment Canada CAP Alerts (https://dd.weather.gc.ca/alerts/cap) — for real-time weather alerts 🔗 Links 📂 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/tridibbanik17/Canadian-Weather-MCP-Server.git 💡 Project Inspiration: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/develop/build-server 🎵 Background Music Film by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 — https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
