Meltema Weather does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 5

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

compare

compare_models

Sample one variable at a point across many models and summarize per-time cross-model spread (min/max/mean/spread). Sources default to every live source carrying the variable; pass a comma-separated `sources` to pin the set. Canonical variable ids: t2m = 2 m air temperature (K), u10 = 10 m U wind component (m/s), v10 = 10 m V wind component (m/s), wind_speed = 10 m wind speed, derived hypot(u10, v10) (m/s), tp = total precipitation over the step (kg m-2, mm-equivalent), tcc = total cloud cover (fraction 0-1), ssrd = surface downward shortwave radiation (W m-2), msl = mean sea level pressure (Pa) (availability varies by source — see GET /v1/sources). Common aliases are accepted case-insensitively and normalized to these ids: temperature/temperature_2m/temp -> t2m, wind/windspeed/wind_speed_10m -> wind_speed, u10m/v10m -> u10/v10, precip/precipitation/rain -> tp, cloud/clouds/cloud_cover -> tcc, solar/radiation/shortwave -> ssrd, pressure/mslp/sea_level_pressure -> msl. The output series always carries the canonical id.

describe

describe_grid

Geometry (grid spec + available leads + units) of a gridded field, plus the exact /v1/grid URL and the recipe to decode the raw uint16 bytes. Omit init_time for the latest run.

point

point_forecast

Full forecast horizon of one model at a single point (bilinear grid sample). source_id is OPTIONAL: omit it and a sensible live source is chosen (prefers gfs, then ifs_open) and returned as `source_id`. Omit init_time for the latest run; omit variables for all stored variables plus derived wind_speed. Canonical variable ids: t2m = 2 m air temperature (K), u10 = 10 m U wind component (m/s), v10 = 10 m V wind component (m/s), wind_speed = 10 m wind speed, derived hypot(u10, v10) (m/s), tp = total precipitation over the step (kg m-2, mm-equivalent), tcc = total cloud cover (fraction 0-1), ssrd = surface downward shortwave radiation (W m-2), msl = mean sea level pressure (Pa) (availability varies by source — see GET /v1/sources). Common aliases are accepted case-insensitively and normalized to these ids: temperature/temperature_2m/temp -> t2m, wind/windspeed/wind_speed_10m -> wind_speed, u10m/v10m -> u10/v10, precip/precipitation/rain -> tp, cloud/clouds/cloud_cover -> tcc, solar/radiation/shortwave -> ssrd, pressure/mslp/sea_level_pressure -> msl. The output series always carries the canonical id.

runs

list_runs

Stored run init times for a source, newest first (UTC ISO 8601). Pass one to pin a tool to that run.

sources

list_sources

Every public forecast source with live-data status, servable variables, cadence and licensing attribution. This is the live enum of `source_id` accepted by the other tools.

Meltema Weather — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Meltema Weather do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_models, describe_grid, list_runs, list_sources, point_forecast. 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 Meltema Weather 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 8000 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Meltema Weather 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 Meltema Weather?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Meltema Weather need an API key?

No. Meltema Weather completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
