OpenWeather + Claude
Query OpenWeather (current weather, forecasts, air quality, geocoding) from any AI agent. 6 tools, API-key auth.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
OPENWEATHER_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the OpenWeather REST API (api.openweathermap.org).
Setup:
- Sign up at https://openweathermap.org/users/sign_up (free tier: 60 calls/min, 1M/month).
- Go to https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys → copy the default key OR create a new one labelled e.g.
mcp. - Wait ~10 minutes — new keys take time to activate on the free tier.
- Set
OPENWEATHER_API_KEY.
Authentication: every request takes appid=${OPENWEATHER_API_KEY} as a query string. The adapter injects it automatically — never include it in tool arguments.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- Open claude.ai/customize/connectors.
- Click "Add custom connector".
- Fill in:
- Name:
OpenWeather - URL:
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp - Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
- Name:
- Click Connect to authorize.
