  • get_current_conditions — Get comprehensive current data (temperature, flow, forecasts) for a specific location
  • get_today_summary — Get minimal current temperature and swimming recommendation
  • get_widget_data — Get current data for all locations at once
  • get_historical_data — Get historical time series data for temperature, flow, and air temperature

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • get_cities — Get a list of all available monitoring locations along the Aare river
  • get_current_conditions — Get comprehensive current conditions for a specific location

  • get_widget_data — The get_widget_data tool exposed by this server
  • get_historical_data — Get historical time series data for water temperature, flow, and air temperature

Credentials and setup notes

  • Node.js 18 or newer

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at aareguru-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Where it fits

This sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Aareguru MCP's toolset — get_cities, get_current_conditions, get_today_summary and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by baking-bread; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Aareguru MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
