weather_timeline
Pack: visualcrossing · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/visualcrossing/mcp
Get daily weather for a location — works for BOTH historical weather (past dates) and forecast (future or no dates). Use this for HISTORICAL weather and “weather on a past date” questions, e.g. “what was the weather in Paris on 2023-07-04” (location: “Paris”, start_date: “2023-07-04”). Pass start_date alone for a single day, or start_date + end_date for a range (weather timeline). Returns per-day temp/min/max, humidity, precipitation, wind, and conditions. Example: weather_timeline({ location: “London”, start_date: “2024-01-01”, end_date: “2024-01-07” }).
