Short-range rain forecasting is the one weather question worth asking an assistant, because the answer changes what you do in the next hour. The scope is exactly that — Buienradar's two-hour precipitation window for a point — and there is no key to obtain before it works.
A small Python MCP server that fetches precipitation data from Buienradar for a latitude and longitude, and answers questions about the next two hours.
- `get_precipitation_for` — a precipitation forecast for the next two hours at the coordinates you give
- A single-tool surface, so there is nothing for the model to pick wrongly
- A plain-language answer to "will there be rain soon in Amsterdam", with the location resolved to coordinates for you
- No keys or environment variables in the configuration
Uv and Python. Install for Claude Desktop through Smithery with `npx -y @smithery/cli install @wpnbos/buienradar-mcp-server --client claude`, or point the client at the project directory with uv and server.py. If uv is not on the client's PATH, give the absolute path from `which uv`.
One command — npx -y @smithery/cli install @wpnbos/buienradar-mcp-server --client claude
