Sunshine Atlas MCP server

A remote, read-only Model Context Protocol server that answers "where is it sunny?" with data: monthly 0–100 Sunshine Scores, day/night temperatures, rainfall and sea temperature for 3,833 destinations — every one with its own airport — from long-term climate normals. It serves the same open dataset published at sunshineatlas.com/data (CC BY 4.0, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21322408).

Live endpoint (no key, no signup):

https://sunshineatlas.com/api/mcp

Listed in the official MCP registry as com.sunshineatlas/sunshine-atlas. Docs page: sunshineatlas.com/mcp.

Tools

ToolAnswers
find_sunny_destinations"Where is it sunny (and warm) in November?" — ranked by that month's Sunshine Score, filterable by continent/country, minimum day temperature, swimmable sea (≥21 °C), population
get_destination_climate"When is the best time to visit Faro?" — full 12-month climate card for one destination (city, "city, country" or IATA code)
compare_destinations"Algarve or Crete in October?" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 destinations with a one-line verdict

Every result carries attribution and citable sunshineatlas.com destination URLs.

Self-host

The server is a single stateless Node file (fresh McpServer per request, plain JSON responses, binds to 127.0.0.1 — put it behind your reverse proxy). It reads one dataset file and hot-reloads it on mtime change.

npm install
curl -O https://sunshineatlas.com/data/sunshine-atlas-destinations.json
PORT=8787 DATA_FILE=./sunshine-atlas-destinations.json node server.mjs

GET /healthz reports status and destination count. server.json is the MCP-registry manifest.

Data & methodology

  • Sunshine Score = 100 × warmth × (0.5 + 0.5 × (0.55 × dryness + 0.45 × sunniness)), computed from long-term climate normals — methodology.
  • Sources: temperature, rainfall and sunshine from NASA POWER climatology (2001–2020); places & populations from GeoNames & OurAirports; sea temperatures via Open-Meteo Marine.
  • Dataset: sunshineatlas.com/data · CSV/JSON · CC BY 4.0 · mirrors on GitHub, Hugging Face, Kaggle.
