VS Code Smarter Weather Resource/getting-started

How to: VS Code Smarter Weather getting-started

client:VS Code transport:streamable-http resource:getting-started

Add Smarter Weather to VS Code

  1. 01

    Open .vscode/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "servers": {
    "weather": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.smarterweather.com"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart VS Code.

  2. 03

    getting-started is surfaced wherever your client lets you attach context. It is context to attach, not an action to run.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that Smarter Weather is connected and that you are looking at its resources rather than its tools.

Requires agent mode. MCP: Open User Configuration puts the same block in every workspace. VS Code docs

Set these first

Smarter Weather will not start until these are set, so it never reaches VS Code.

  • SMARTERWEATHER_API_KEY
  • SMARTERWEATHER_MCP_URL

Same resource, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling resources/list on 24 September 2026. A listing does not declare its resources, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each resource's type and contents.
