What is MCPTutorial Weather Server?
This is a tutorial project demonstrating how to build a weather server using the FastMCP framework. It utilizes the httpx library to fetch weather data from an external API (likely the NWS API).
How to use MCPTutorial Weather Server?
To use this project, follow the steps in the README: install uv, create a project directory, initialize a virtual environment, install dependencies (mcp[cli] and httpx), and create the weather.py file with the provided code. The code initializes a FastMCP server named 'weather' and uses httpx to interact with a weather API.

FAQ from MCPTutorial Weather Server
What is FastMCP?
What is FastMCP?
Based on the code, it is a framework for building servers, possibly with a focus on speed and efficiency, as suggested by 'FastMCP'.
What is httpx used for?
What is httpx used for?
It is used for making HTTP requests to external APIs, in this case, likely to fetch weather data.
What does uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx do?
What does uv add "mcp[cli]" httpx do?
It installs the mcp package (with the cli extra) and the httpx package as dependencies for your project.
What is the purpose of the USER_AGENT constant?
What is the purpose of the USER_AGENT constant?
It identifies the application making the API request, which is good practice for API usage.
Where does the weather data come from?
Where does the weather data come from?
The code uses the NWS_API_BASE constant, which suggests it retrieves weather data from the National Weather Service (NWS) API.
