`weather_timeline`

Pack: visualcrossing · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/weather_timeline for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

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” }).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`location`	string	yes	City name (e.g. “Paris”, “New York, NY”) or “lat,lon” (e.g. “48.8566,2.3522”).
`start_date`	string	no	Optional start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Past dates return HISTORICAL weather; future dates return forecast. Omit for the default 15-day forecast.
`end_date`	string	no	Optional end date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Only used when start_date is also given; produces a date-range timeline.
`units`	string	no	Unit group: “metric” (°C, km/h — default), “us” (°F, mph), or “uk”.
`_apiKey`	string	no	Optional — your own Visual Crossing API key for higher limits; omit to use the shared Pipeworx key.
