mcp-weather-gc-ca

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) GeoMet MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1684+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
current_observationsLatest real-time surface weather observations from Environment Canada stations near a point (swob-realtime). Returns station name, observation time, air temp, dewpoint, humidity, wind, pressure, snow depth. Example: latitude 43.65, longitude -79.38 for Toronto. Keyless, official ECCC data.
active_alertsActive Environment Canada weather alerts (warnings, watches, statements) across Canada, optionally filtered near a point. Returns alert name, type, risk colour, affected area, province, effective/expiry times and a text excerpt. Example: latitude 43.65, longitude -79.38 for Toronto-area alerts. Keyless, official ECCC data.
climate_dailyDaily climate records (max/min/mean temperature °C, total precipitation mm, snow on ground cm) for an Environment Canada station over a date range. Use a 7-digit climate identifier, e.g. "6158355" (TORONTO CITY) or "1108395" (VANCOUVER INTL A). Station IDs come from the climate-stations collection. Keyless, official ECCC data.
geomet_collectionsDirectory of every dataset Environment and Climate Change Canada publishes through MSC GeoMet (100+ OGC API Features collections). Returns each collection id, title, description, keywords and geographic extent. Use it to find what Canadian weather, water, air-quality or climate-projection data exists and what its collection id is, before reaching for a purpose-built tool. Example: search "hydrometric" for river gauge datasets, "cmip5" for climate projections, "swob" for surface observations.
hydrometric_stations_nearWater Survey of Canada river and lake gauges near a point, from the MSC GeoMet hydrometric-stations collection. AUTHORITATIVE for "which gauge measures the <Canadian river> at <place>" — these are the official federal hydrometric stations. Returns station number (the id you pass to hydrometric_realtime), station name, province, active/discontinued status, gross drainage area in km2, whether it reports in real time, and coordinates. Example: latitude 43.65, longitude -79.38 for Toronto-area gauges.
hydrometric_realtimeReal-time water level (metres) and discharge/flow (m3/s) readings from Water Survey of Canada gauges, typically every 5-15 minutes and covering the last 30 days. AUTHORITATIVE for "how high is the <Canadian river> right now" and for flood watching in Canada. Pass a station number from hydrometric_stations_near, e.g. "02HC003" (HUMBER RIVER AT WESTON), or give latitude/longitude to get the most recent readings from every real-time gauge in the area. Readings come back newest first.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather-gc-ca": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/weather-gc-ca/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/weather-gc-ca/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1684+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/current_observations \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"latitude":43.65,"longitude":-79.38}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/current_observations. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weather-gc-ca": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-weather-gc-ca"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-weather-gc-ca

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Weather Gc Ca data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What is Weather Gc Ca?

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) GeoMet MCP.

How do I install Weather Gc Ca?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http weather-gc-ca 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/weather-gc-ca/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does Weather Gc Ca need an API key?

Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.

Is Weather Gc Ca open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains Weather Gc Ca?

It is published by pipeworx-io. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
