Airnow MCP Server

prsantos-com/airnow-mcp-server

The unofficial AirNow MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that enables integration between large language models (LLMs) and the AirNow API for U.S. air quality data. This server provides a comprehensive set of tools that allows LLMs to access and utilize real-time, forecasted, and historical air quality information.
