getHourlyWeather
Get hourly weather forecast for a location. Returns weather data hour by hour for the next 24 hours.
LABSCO SUMMARY
Resolving the place is its own call, which is what keeps a forecast from quietly answering about the wrong city.
lookupCity accepts a name, an ID or coordinates and hands back a city ID the weather tools take, so the ambiguity lives in one place rather than in every request. The horizons are fixed rather than requested: getHourlyWeather covers the next 24 hours and getWeatherForecast the next few days, with each call taking a location and an options object. What comes back from getWeather is temperature, humidity and conditions — enough for a decision, not enough for a chart.
What it is
A weather server exposing 4 tools: current conditions, a daily forecast, an hourly forecast covering the next 24 hours, and a city lookup that returns the ID the weather calls accept.
What you get
- Conditions as they stand: getWeather returns temperature, humidity and conditions for a location.
- Forecast horizons on separate calls: getWeatherForecast covers the next few days, getHourlyWeather returns data hour by hour for the next 24 hours.
- Location resolved once and reused: lookupCity takes a name, an ID or coordinates and returns a city ID that the weather calls accept, so an ambiguous place name is settled before any forecast is read.
Requirements
No credentials are configured; a call needs a location, or a city ID obtained from lookupCity.
Setup effort
Add the configuration to your client
USE CASES
01
Deciding whether tomorrow's outdoor plan holds
Pin down which city is meant, then read the coming days rather than only the present conditions.
02
Timing something to the hour today
Check what it is doing now, then look across the next 24 hours to pick the window.
4 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
4 tools when we connected. Names are camelCase, such as getWeather and lookupCity; the WEATHER_* and QWEATHER_* variables set defaults and do not add tools.
Requires
- npx on PATH
- Node.js 16 or later
CONTEXT COST
Light Standing cost
Rated by the size of the 4 tool definitions that ride along on every turn, not by how many there are
INSTALLATION
Connect your client
This one is configured rather than run — your client needs the configuration block, not a command.
