This server supports the full MCP JSON-RPC protocol.

Example tool call:

curl -X POST https://mcp-weathertrax.jaredco.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",

    "method":"tools/call",
    "params":{
      "name":"weatherTool",

🧪 Testing

Run locally in one terminal:

npm install
npm start

In another terminal, run the protocol tests:

npm test

Release smoke suite:

npm run test:full

npm run test:full currently runs the same supported end-to-end smoke suite. The old pre-Streamable-HTTP regression harness remains available as npm run test:legacy; it is retained for reference and is not a release gate.

Deployment configuration

Set these server-side environment variables; never commit them:

Variable	Required	Purpose
WEATHER_API_KEY	Yes	World Weather Online API key.
PORT	No	HTTP listener port; defaults to 3000.
TRUST_PROXY	Production-dependent	Number of trusted reverse-proxy hops; set to 1 for a single known proxy.
ALLOWED_ORIGINS	No	Comma-separated browser origins allowed to call MCP; defaults to https://claude.ai.

The service exposes aggregate, non-identifying operational counters at /metrics. Do not place this endpoint behind a public dashboard without adding appropriate access control.
