Openaq Mcp Server

Overview

Openaq Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to OpenAQ v3, enabling them to find air-quality stations and read pollutant observations from government monitors. Through MCP, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other clients can call air-quality data as native tools without manual data transfer.

You can deploy Openaq Mcp Server in two ways: use the hosted endpoint at https://openaq.caseyjhand.com/mcp with zero setup, or install locally via npx -y @cyanheads/openaq-mcp-server. Both require the OPENAQ_API_KEY environment variable for authentication. The current release is v0.1.8, licensed under Apache-2.0 with source code available at cyanheads/openaq-mcp-server on GitHub.

Openaq Mcp Server belongs in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim the listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
