What is Weather Bridge MCP?
This is a Spring Boot application that acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, providing AI agents like GitHub Copilot with access to weather data. It bridges the gap between AI models and weather APIs using standardized tools.
How to use Weather Bridge MCP?
To use this server, you need to set up a Spring Boot project, add the necessary MCP dependencies, implement a Weather API client, configure the MCP server, implement MCP tools, create model classes for weather data, configure VS Code for integration, and then run the application. You can then use GitHub Copilot in agent mode to ask weather-related questions.
