Meteoswiss Llm Tools — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Meteoswiss Llm Tools (MCP Server) and scored it 45/100 (orange). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 5 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A base64 string of 128+ characters appears in a documentation file. Encoded prompt injection hides the hostile instruction in base64 — invisible to keyword filters — and relies on the agent's ability to decode it at runtime. There is no normal authoring reason to embed a multi-hundred-byte base64 blob in skill docs.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Swiss weather data for AI assistants — powered by MeteoSwiss Open Government Data (OGD), the same data behind the MeteoSwiss app and website. Free, no API key required.
[meteoswiss-mcp.ars.is](https://meteoswiss-mcp.ars.is/) — try the hosted service instantly, no setup needed.
This repo is also a working answer to a design question: how should you give AI agents access to a public dataset? It implements the same MeteoSwiss data access twice — as an agent skill (markdown instructions plus bash scripts, no server) and as an MCP server (structured tools, fuzzy matching, caching, hosted). The two approaches are compared honestly in the skill vs. MCP case study.
A third piece, meteoswiss-forecast-evals, demonstrates eval-driven interface design: a promptfoo suite measuring how well 13 LLMs read the forecast JSON, which settled a real design decision — local-time timestamps beat UTC, with hour-level lookups scoring ~100% vs. ~0%.
What the tools provide:
curl/awk/jq: ~630 lines of markdown and bash, zero infrastructure. → packages/meteoswiss-skillsRead the comparison: [Skill vs. MCP Server: Two Ways to Give AI Agents the Same Data](docs/skill-vs-mcp.md).
Both approaches answer the same weather questions. Which to install depends on your agent:
| MCP Server | Agent Skill | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Standalone server exposing 7 structured tools via MCP | Markdown instructions + 5 bash scripts the agent runs directly |
| Works with | Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, any MCP client | Claude Code, Cursor, any agent with shell access |
| Coverage | Forecasts, current weather, stations, pollen, climate series, website search | Forecasts, current weather, stations, pollen |
| Extras | Fuzzy matching, geocoding, caching, DE/FR/IT prompts, structured JSON | No server, no Node.js — just curl, awk, jq |
| Size | ~6.6k lines TypeScript, tested in CI | ~630 lines markdown + bash |
| Install | One-liner (hosted), npm, or Docker | Plugin marketplace, Skills CLI, or symlink |

Use the hosted instance (no installation):
# Claude Code
claude mcp add meteoswiss https://meteoswiss-mcp.ars.is/mcpFor Cursor, install from the Cursor Directory or add manually via Settings → MCP.
Or self-host with Docker:
docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/eins78/meteoswiss-mcp:latestSee the meteoswiss-mcp README for Claude Desktop setup, environment variables, and full documentation.
Install via the Claude Code plugin marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add eins78/meteoswiss-llm-tools
/plugin install meteoswiss-skills@meteoswiss-marketplaceOr with the Skills CLI:
pnpx skills add https://github.com/eins78/meteoswiss-llm-tools.git#packages/meteoswiss-skills --global --agent claude-code --allSee the meteoswiss-skills README for manual installation and details.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
meteoswissLocalForecast | Multi-day forecasts by postal code, station, or place name |
meteoswissCurrentWeather | Real-time measurements (temperature, wind, humidity, pressure) |
meteoswissStations | Search station network by name, canton, or coordinates |
meteoswissPollenData | Pollen concentration data from monitoring stations |
meteoswissClimateData | NBCN climate series — temperature, precipitation, sunshine, and climate indicators going back decades |
search | Search MeteoSwiss website content (DE, FR, IT, EN) |
fetch | Fetch full content from MeteoSwiss pages |
Works with both approaches — just ask in any of Switzerland's four languages:
| Package | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
meteoswiss-mcp | MCP server with structured tools, fuzzy matching, and geocoding | |
meteoswiss-skills | 1.0.0 | Agent skill — direct HTTP access, no server needed |
meteoswiss-forecast-evals | — | LLM eval suite for the forecast JSON format (standalone, not a workspace member) |
