Hko MCP

mcp-hko (Hong Kong Observatory MCP Server)

This MCP server provides access to Hong Kong Observatory weather data APIs. It implements various tools that allow clients to retrieve weather forecasts, earthquake information, tide data, and other meteorological information through the Model Context Protocol.

Available Weather Data Tools

• 9-day Weather Forecast (fnd)
• Current Weather Report (rhrread)
• Local Weather Forecast (flw)
• Weather Warning Information (warningInfo)
• Weather Warning Summary (warnsum)
• Special Weather Tips (swt)
• Quick Earthquake Messages (qem)
• Locally Felt Earth Tremor Report (feltearthquake)
• Tide Information (HHOT, HLT)
• Astronomical Data (SRS, lunardate)
• Lightning and Visibility Data (LHL, LTMV)
• Temperature Records (CLMTEMP, CLMMAXT, CLMMINT)
• Radiation Level Reports (RYES)
• Rainfall Data (hourlyrainfall)

Usage Examples

Get 9-day weather forecast

prompt:

what is the weather in next Wed ?

Get current weather report

prompt:

what is the weather now ?

Development Setup

1. Install dependencies: bash npm install
2. Start the MCP development server: bash npm run inspect
3. Build the MCP server: bash npm run build
4. Run tests: bash npm test
5. Run tests in watch mode: bash npm run test:watch

Comprehensive tests have been created for all API functions. See docs/TESTING.md for details.
