Weather Simplified

Real-time US weather data from the National Weather Service (NOAA) — current conditions, forecasts, alerts, tropical weather, and severe weather — available as tools for Claude via the Model Context Protocol.

Installation

Add the marketplace, then install the plugins you need:

/plugin marketplace add klietzau280/claude-plugins-weather-simplified

/plugin install weather-forecasts@weather-simplified    # Forecasts & alerts
/plugin install weather-tropical@weather-simplified      # Hurricane tracking
/plugin install weather-severe@weather-simplified        # Tornado watches & SPC outlooks

Alternative Setup (Claude Desktop)

You can also use the MCP server directly without the plugin marketplace.

Remote (no install) — add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://weather-simplified-graphql.azurewebsites.net/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Local (stdio):

git clone https://github.com/klietzau280/weather-simplified-graphql.git
cd weather-simplified-graphql
npm install && npm run build:mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/weather-simplified-graphql/dist-mcp/src/mcp/server.js"]
    }
  }
}
