03 · What Vedurstofa MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

- Forecast scraping is fragile. Per-station forecasts are extracted from inline JavaScript on vedur.is pages. When the HTML changes, the scraper falls back to the national text forecast and marks the response degraded: true. File an issue when you see it. - Forecast station coverage is limited to ~13 major named stations. Others share a regional page or have no scrapeable forecast. - Units are metric: °C, m/s, hPa, m
