Buienradar MCP Server

Overview

This is an MCP server that fetches precipitation data for a given latitude and longitude using Buienradar. It exposes a single MCP tool, get_precipitation_for, which provides precipitation forecasts for the next two hours.

Installing via Smithery

To install Buienradar MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @wpnbos/buienradar-mcp-server --client claude

Configuration

First, make sure you have uv (and Python) installed.

To integrate this server with Claude for Desktop, update your configuration file at:

MacOS/Linux

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows

code $env:AppData\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Example configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "precipitation": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/buienradar-mcp-server",
                "run",
                "server.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/buienradar-mcp-server with the actual path where your server is located.

Restart Claude for Desktop for the tool to become available.

You might have to provide the full path for uv instead of just uv. To find the full path for your uv executable, on MacOS/Linux execute which uv.

Usage

If all went well, you should be able to ask Claude about any upcoming precipitation.

> Will there be any rain soon in Amsterdam?

> No rain predicted in Amsterdam for the next 2 hours.
