LABSCO SUMMARY
One question, answered from the forecast.
It exists to answer whether now is a good time to wash and hang out a load, and it answers it from live weather rather than a schedule. Electricity time-of-use pricing — the obvious second input for that decision — is named in the README as a future direction, not something the server reads today.
What it is
A small MCP server for laundry planning. It gives an assistant two things at once — your stated laundry preferences and a real-time weather forecast — so the assistant can reason about when washing and, above all, line-drying will actually work.
What you get
- Laundry preferences and real-time weather forecasts, both readable inside the same conversation
- Plain questions answered directly — the README's own example is "Is it a good time to do my laundry today at Sydney, NSW?"
- Line-drying as the case it is built around: the forecast, not a fixed timer, decides when clothes go out
Requirements
A local clone and uv. The documented Claude Desktop entry runs uv --directory /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/laundry-timer-mcp run server.py, so the repository has to sit on the machine that runs the client. The project is laundry-timer-mcp 0.1.0 in its pyproject.
Setup effort
Clone and run — clone the repository, then add the configuration for your client; uv runs the script from your clone, with nothing to build
USE CASES
Deciding whether to line-dry today
Ask about a specific place and let the assistant weigh the forecast against how you like to dry clothes.
Planning a wash around the week's weather
Use the forecast the server returns to pick the day that will actually dry a load outside.
Skipping the weather app
Ask the laundry question directly instead of reading a forecast and translating it into a laundry decision yourself.
INSTALLATION
Connect your client
Clone the repository, then add the configuration for your client; uv runs the script from your clone, with nothing to build.
