What you can do with Weatherbit in Claude and ChatGPT

For operations teams and analysts using Weatherbit commercial APIs.

Plan around upcoming weather

Read current conditions and daily or hourly forecasts for a coordinate, including temperature, precipitation and wind.

Compare historical weather

Retrieve daily historical conditions over a bounded date range to compare temperature and precipitation across periods.

Inspect air-quality conditions

Read current pollutant concentrations and hourly air-quality forecasts for a coordinate when your Weatherbit plan includes access.

Review agriculture and energy forecasts

Retrieve agriculture and energy forecast data, including soil, evapotranspiration, degree-day and irradiance fields supported by your subscription.

Check remaining API quota

Read usage counters and reset times before planning further lookups. The usage check itself consumes one standard Weatherbit request.

How do I connect Weatherbit?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Weatherbit API key.

Copy your API key from your Weatherbit account dashboard. This hosted commercial integration requires a paid commercial-use subscription; Free, Trial and Hobbyist subscriptions do not license commercial use. Historical, air-quality, agriculture and energy endpoints need the corresponding plan access. Connecting checks /subscription/usage once and uses one standard Weatherbit request. Tool calls also consume your Weatherbit quota, separately from UsefulAPI usage. A new key creates a separate UsefulAPI identity. Your key is sent only to Weatherbit and is never returned in tool results.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http weatherbit https://weatherbit.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "weatherbit": {
      "url": "https://weatherbit.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "weatherbit": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://weatherbit.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add weatherbit --url https://weatherbit.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login weatherbit

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://weatherbit.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Weatherbit API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Each paid plan covers this Weatherbit server only. Ask your AI to run weatherbit_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with weatherbit_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with weatherbit_upgrade before then undoes the cancel.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)weatherbit_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featureweatherbit_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Weatherbit tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+weatherbit_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Weatherbit (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionweatherbit_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Weatherbit Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run weatherbit_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Weatherbit in Claude or ChatGPT?

Plan around upcoming weather. Compare historical weather. Inspect air-quality conditions. Review agriculture and energy forecasts. Check remaining API quota. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Weatherbit product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Weatherbit. The server calls the Weatherbit API with your own Weatherbit access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Weatherbit to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Weatherbit API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Weatherbit key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Weatherbit API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Weatherbit credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Weatherbit API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Weatherbit.

Can the AI change my Weatherbit data?

All 12 Weatherbit tools are marked read-only.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Weatherbit server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run weatherbit_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run weatherbit_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run weatherbit_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Weatherbit tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with weatherbit_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
