Sunshine Atlas missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

compare

compare_destinations

Side-by-side sunshine/climate comparison of 2–5 destinations — overall or for one month ("Algarve or Crete in October?"). Returns each place's Sunshine Score, temperatures, rain, midday UV index and sea temperature, plus a one-line verdict of which is sunnier.

destination

get_destination_climate

Full climate card for one destination: 0–100 Sunshine Score, day/night °C, rainfall, midday UV index (WHO scale) and sea temperature for all 12 months, plus its sunniest month ("best time to visit" for sunshine), annual sunshine hours and peak midday UV. Accepts a city name ("Faro"), "city, country" ("Nice, France") or IATA airport code ("FAO").

sunny

find_sunny_destinations

Ranked answer to "where is it sunny (and warm) in <month>?" — destinations sorted by that month's 0–100 Sunshine Score (long-term climate normals). Filter by continent or country, minimum daytime temperature, population, swimmable sea (≥21°C), or a ceiling on the midday UV index. Every result carries that month's temperatures, rain, midday UV (WHO scale) and sea temperature, plus a citable sunshineatlas.com URL.

Sunshine Atlas — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sunshine Atlas do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_destinations, find_sunny_destinations, get_destination_climate. 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 Sunshine Atlas working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 215 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Sunshine Atlas?

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 Sunshine Atlas need an API key?

No. Sunshine Atlas completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Sunshine Atlas?

It answers our handshake in 215 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
