• 🔐 JWT (EdDSA/Ed25519) and legacy API Key authentication
• 🔌 Custom API base URL support
• 🛠️ Complete tool integration

📦 Installation

Via Smithery

Recommended: Install automatically for Claude Desktop using Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @overstarry/qweather-mcp --client claude

Manual Configuration

1. First, get your credentials from the QWeather Console.
2. Start the server:

# stdio server

npx -y qweather-mcp

1. Configure environment variables (pick one of the two auth modes below).

🔐 JWT Authentication (recommended)

QWeather has announced that API Key authentication will be deprecated in 2027 and recommends migrating to JWT (EdDSA + Ed25519). Generate an Ed25519 key pair, upload the public key to the QWeather console, and configure:

QWEATHER_API_BASE=https://<your-host>.qweatherapi.com

QWEATHER_PROJECT_ID= QWEATHER_KEY_ID=

Either pass the PEM path…

QWEATHER_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/path/to/ed25519-private.pem

…or the PEM content directly (newlines preserved)

QWEATHER_PRIVATE_KEY="[PopNx MCP ตัดค่าที่หน้าตาเหมือนกุญแจออก]"

If both QWEATHER_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH and QWEATHER_PRIVATE_KEY are provided, the path takes precedence. For QWEATHER_PRIVATE_KEY, the literal two-character sequence \n is auto-converted to real newlines, so the single-line form above works in shells, .env files, and JSON configs.

JSON config example:

{

"mcpServers": { "qweather": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "qweather-mcp"], "env": { "QWEATHER_API_BASE": "https:// .qweatherapi.com", "QWEATHER_PROJECT_ID": " ", "QWEATHER_KEY_ID": " ", "QWEATHER_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH": "/path/to/ed25519-private.pem" } } } }

JWT details: tokens are signed with alg=EdDSA, iat is back-dated 30s to tolerate clock skew, exp = iat + 900s (15 min, well under QWeather's 24h cap), and tokens are cached and reused until ~30s before expiry. See the official authentication docs.

🔑 API Key Authentication (legacy)

QWEATHER_API_BASE=https://api.qweather.com

QWEATHER_API_KEY=

JSON config example:

{

"mcpServers": { "qweather": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "qweather-mcp"], "env": { "QWEATHER_API_BASE": " ", "QWEATHER_API_KEY": " " } } } }

Mode detection

The active mode is logged to stderr at startup, e.g. Weather MCP Server running on stdio (auth: JWT/EdDSA).
