What is the Epwforge MCP server?

Epwforge MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. EPW & DDY weather files for any location — TMY, CMIP6 SSPs, UHI, extreme events, smoke.

What you get

EPWForge generates and morphs weather files (.epw, .ddy, .csv) for building energy simulation tools — EnergyPlus, OpenStudio, IES VE, eQUEST, and any workflow that consumes EPW. The platform supports:

What the assistant can call

Once Epwforge is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • find_station — Search the ~17,000-station GuzzStations catalog by name, country, or coordinates. Optional compact=True returns just the newest TMYx per station
  • analyze_weather — Statistical summary of an EPW. Three modes: url= (single file), urls=[] (2–10 file comparison), config={...} (synthesize a morphed scenario from
  • chart_weather — Inline SVG chart. Single-EPW types: diurnal, temp_carpet, wind_rose, monthly_boxplot, utci_carpet, economizer_carpet, pv_tilt_azimuth
  • generate_weather_file — Generate and return a downloadable weather file with the full morph stack. Format = epw / ddy / csv / zip / pvsyst. Supports ensemble=true (all SSPs

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: EPWFORGE_API_KEY, EPWFORGE_BASE_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Choosing this one

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Epwforge's toolset — find_station, analyze_weather, chart_weather and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by guzz-labs; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

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

Before you rely on it

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the epwforge mcp server does with a few real requests.

Available tools

ToolWhat it does
find_stationSearch the ~17,000-station GuzzStations catalog by name, country, or coordinates. Optional compact=True returns just the newest TMYx per station (6–10× smaller responses for chained agent workflows).
analyze_weatherStatistical summary of an EPW. Three modes: url= (single file), urls=[] (2–10 file comparison), config={...} (synthesize a morphed scenario from lat/lon — no EPW content returned). Optional include_full_ashrae, include_i
chart_weatherInline SVG chart. Single-EPW types: diurnal, temp_carpet, wind_rose, monthly_boxplot, utci_carpet, economizer_carpet, pv_tilt_azimuth, solar_under_events. Multi-EPW type: comparison.
generate_weather_fileGenerate and return a downloadable weather file with the full morph stack. Format = epw / ddy / csv / zip / pvsyst. Supports ensemble=true (all SSPs at once).

Frequently asked questions

It connects Epwforge to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 4 tools (find_station, analyze_weather, chart_weather, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Epwforge directly.
