VS Code Smarter Weather get_current_conditions

How to: VS Code Smarter Weather get_current_conditions

client:VS Code transport:streamable-http tool:get_current_conditions

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

    Ask for something get_current_conditions does. VS Code lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_current_conditions itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Smarter Weather's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

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 get_current_conditions never becomes available.

  • SMARTERWEATHER_API_KEY
  • SMARTERWEATHER_MCP_URL

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
