Available tools 1

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

air
get_air_quality
Get the current air quality for a city, from real-time monitoring and atmospheric model data. Use for any "what's the air quality in X", "is it safe to go outside in Y", "how polluted is Z" style question, or whenever pollen/smog/wildfire-smoke/pollution conditions are relevant to a plan (running, cycling, sensitive-groups advice, travel). `city` is a free-text place name (e.g. "Bangkok", "Berlin", "Springfield, US"). Returns a dict with: - `location`: resolved place name/country/admin1 - `us_aqi`: the current US Air Quality Index (0-500+) - `aqi_category`: plain-language category computed from `us_aqi` -- "Good" (0-50), "Moderate" (51-100), "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" (101-150), "Unhealthy" (151-200), "Very Unhealthy" (201-300), or "Hazardous" (301+); "Unknown" if no AQI could be resolved for that location - `pm2_5`, `pm10`: particulate matter concentrations (ug/m3) - `ozone`, `nitrogen_dioxide`, `sulphur_dioxide`, `carbon_monoxide`: trace gas concentrations (ug/m3) - `local_time`: the timestamp of the reading, in the location's local time - `attribution`

Air Quality MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Air Quality MCP do?
It exposes 1 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_air_quality. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Air Quality MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 185 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Air Quality MCP still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
The registry lists Air Quality MCP as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Air Quality MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Air Quality MCP need an API key?
No. Air Quality MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 1 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
