Agents Overview

Different MCP-compatible agents excel at different tasks. Use these guides to connect your preferred interface, provide credentials once, and start asking weather questions immediately.

Supported agents

• Claude: Best for rapid iteration and complex prompts with tight tool controls.
• ChatGPT: Provides both browser and Playground experiences with easy code export.
• Copilot & IDEs: Keep weather-aware assistance inside VS Code, JetBrains, or terminals.

Shared configuration

• Endpoint: https://mcp.api.xweather.com/mcp
• Authentication: Authorization header (Bearer <client_id>_<client_secret>) when possible, or api_key query parameter if the agent lacks header support.
• Tool selection: Start with the default set, then refine using Filtering & Tool Scoping.

Once you are connected, experiment with prompts like “Show me a chart of lightning strikes near O'Hare over the last 3 hours” to watch the agent select the appropriate tool.
