Live weather and air quality (GAIA)

Official registry Maps, travel and weather

Weather, air quality and nearest live sensors anywhere, each with a signed receipt. Free, no key.

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

GAIA — physical-world oracle gateway

Own a weather station or air-quality sensor? Sell your readings through your own Hub + GAIA.

For an existing MQTT station, see the single-station MQTT adapter.

🌐 English · Русский · Español · Français · 中文 · Glossary

GAIA is a physical-world oracle gateway that sells Ed25519-attested sensor readings from virtual IoT devices as paid AIMarket v2 capabilities, and serves a Metis-envelope-compatible /v1/verify so the hub's Pay-on-Verified escrow can settle them — an honest reading gets the provider paid, a lying sensor refunds the buyer automatically.

It is the ecosystem's third oracle class: math oracles prove computations, Metis judges LLM output, GAIA grounds settlement in physics. The demo fleet is simulated (two co-located weather stations sharing one site truth, an air-quality node, an energy meter — models imitate BME280/SDS011/SCD30/Shelly-EM-class hardware), but every wire surface — manifest, invoke, receipts, provider signature, verify envelope, W3C WoT Thing Descriptions — is the real one.

Quickstart

# Container
docker pull ghcr.io/alexar76/gaia:latest
docker run --rm -p 9320:9320 ghcr.io/alexar76/gaia:latest

# From source (satellite checkout vendors oracle-core)
pip install -e vendor/oracle-core -e ".[dev]"   # or: pip install -e ../oracles/core -e ".[dev]"
python -m gaia.main                             # :9320

Poke it:

curl -s localhost:9320/.well-known/ai-market.json

Live devices — relay real public sensors

Set GAIA_ENABLE_LIVE=1 to register real public-API relays alongside the simulators. Every relay uses the same Ed25519 attestation + plausibility path. Unreachable upstream → DeviceOffline → 503 / {ok:false} → no debit. Upstream hosts are allowlisted (SSRF defence); invoke clients never supply a URL.
