天气数据 MCP 服务

SMHI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Swedish weather data through SMHI's open APIs, deployed as a Cloudflare Worker.

🌤️ Features

• Real-time Weather Data: Access current weather conditions from SMHI weather stations
• Weather Forecasts: Get detailed forecasts for any location in Sweden
• Station Search: Find weather stations by name using fuzzy matching
• Multi-Resolution Data: Access hourly, daily, and monthly weather data
• Historical Data: Query past weather records with pagination and date filtering
• MCP Protocol: Full compatibility with Claude and other MCP clients
• Serverless: Runs on Cloudflare Workers with global edge deployment
• No API Keys Required: Uses SMHI's free open data APIs
• Smart Caching: Multi-level caching with Cloudflare Cache API and R2 storage for optimal performance
• Rate Limiting: Built-in request rate limiting to respect SMHI API limits

Forecasts use SMHI's SNOW1gv1 endpoint. The legacy PMP3gv2 forecast API was retired by SMHI on 2026-03-31.

Unit Tests

npm test          # vitest run

Covers transport behaviour (test/mcp-transport.test.js) and request accounting (test/request-limits.test.js). Both exist because of a real incident — see below.

🛡️ Protecting the request quota

The 2026-08 runaway incident

GET /mcp used to answer with a finite text/event-stream body: one data: line, then the stream closed. EventSource treats a closed stream as a dropped connection and reconnects after ~1s, forever. Three concurrent clients doing that generated ~420,000 Worker requests in four days against a 100,000/day account limit, and tripped Cloudflare's daily limit email.

The fix: a server with no server-initiated messages must answer 405 on GET, per the MCP Streamable HTTP spec. Conforming clients then stop retrying. test/mcp-transport.test.js locks this in.

What the in-Worker limiter can and cannot do

checkRequestLimits() now runs for every method, not just POST (it previously sat in the POST branch only, which is why the GET flood went unnoticed). But be clear about its scope:

An in-Worker limiter cannot protect the Cloudflare request quota. By the time it runs, the request is already billed. A 429 costs exactly as much quota as a 200.

Its real value is shedding load off the upstream SMHI APIs and failing loudly rather than silently. It is also backed by caches.default, which is per-colo, so the count is per-edge-location, not global.

Actually protecting the quota

Requests must be rejected before they reach the Worker:

1. Put the service on a real zone (not *.workers.dev) and add a WAF rate-limiting rule. Traffic blocked at the WAF is not billed as a Worker invocation.
2. Disable the workers.dev route once a custom domain is in place, so the unprotected hostname stops being reachable.
3. Note that the endpoint currently has no authentication — anyone with the URL can invoke it.

🏗️ Architecture

└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘

The server acts as a bridge between MCP clients and SMHI's weather APIs:

1. MCP Client sends JSON-RPC requests
2. Cloudflare Worker processes requests and calls SMHI APIs
3. SMHI APIs provide real-time weather data
4. Worker formats response according to MCP protocol

⚡ Performance & Caching

The server implements a multi-level caching strategy for optimal performance:

Cloudflare Cache API

• Current weather data: 15 minutes TTL
• Weather forecasts: 30 minutes TTL
• Station metadata: 1 week TTL
• Historical data: 24 hours TTL

R2 Storage (CSV Data)

• Standard CSV files: 24 hours TTL
• Recent year data: 1 hour TTL (more volatile)
• Historical data (>2 years): 1 week TTL (stable)

Rate Limiting

• 30 requests per minute maximum to respect SMHI API limits
• Automatic request throttling with user-friendly error messages

Configuration Requirements

# wrangler.toml - R2 bucket for CSV caching
[[r2_buckets]]
binding = "HISTORICAL_DATA"
bucket_name = "smhi-historical-data"

📊 Data Sources

All weather data comes from SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute):

• Observations API: Real-time weather station data
• Forecast API: Weather predictions up to 10 days
• Station Metadata: Information about monitoring stations

Sample Weather Stations

Note: Some stations have different names depending on the parameter type. Use search_stations_by_name_multi_param to find stations across all data types.

Active Filtering: By default, search tools only return stations with recent data activity. Set active_only: false to include all stations, including inactive ones.

🔧 Configuration

Required Configuration

The worker requires an R2 bucket for CSV caching:

# wrangler.toml - Required R2 configuration
[[r2_buckets]]
binding = "HISTORICAL_DATA" 
bucket_name = "smhi-historical-data"

Optional Environment Variables

# wrangler.toml - Optional configuration
[env.production.vars]
# Add public configuration here

# Optional secrets for authentication
[[env.production.secrets]]
API_KEY = "your-api-key-for-auth"

Authentication (Optional)

To enable API key authentication, set the API_KEY secret:

wrangler secret put API_KEY

🌍 Claude Integration

To use this server with Claude:

1. Desktop App: Add the server URL in Claude's MCP settings
2. API: Include the server in your MCP client configuration
3. Custom Integration: Use the JSON-RPC protocol directly

Example Claude conversations:

You: "Show me weather stations for snowmobile conditions"
Claude: "Let me get the snowmobile conditions monitoring stations for you."
[Uses list_snowmobile_conditions]
Claude: "Here are 18 weather stations organized by region for snowmobile conditions. The Arctic/Mountain region has Katterjåkk/Riksgränsen with both temperature and snow depth data..."

You: "What's the current temperature in Arvidsjaur?"
Claude: "Let me check the current temperature in Arvidsjaur for you."
[Uses get_station_temperature with station_id "159880"]
Claude: "The current temperature in Arvidsjaur is 15.8°C."

You: "Find weather stations near Stockholm"
Claude: "Let me search for weather stations near Stockholm."
[Uses search_stations_by_name_multi_param with query "Stockholm"]
Claude: "I found several weather stations near Stockholm, including Stockholm A (98230) and Stockholm-Observatoriekullen (98210)."

You: "Show me temperature data for Mosekälla from January 2024"
Claude: "Let me search for Mosekälla and get the temperature data."
[Uses search_stations_by_name_multi_param with query "Mosekälla"]
[Uses get_historical_data with station_id "155940", fromDate "2024-01-01", toDate "2024-01-31"]
Claude: "Found Mosekälla (station 155940) - here's the temperature data for January 2024..."

You: "Find weather stations near Adak (65.353°N, 18.5837°E)"
Claude: "Let me find the nearest weather stations to those coordinates."
[Uses get_stations_near_location with latitude 65.353, longitude 18.5837, radius_km 50]
Claude: "I found 4 temperature stations within 50km: Malå (20.5km), Malå-Brännan A (22.4km), Buresjön A (40.6km), and Arvidsjaur A (41.3km)."
