mcp-airq-cloud 0.1.4

MCP server for air-Q Cloud API — access air quality data from anywhere

mcp-airq-cloud

MCP server for the air-Q Cloud API — access air quality data from anywhere.

Unlike mcp-airq (which communicates directly with devices on the local network), this server uses the air-Q Cloud REST API to retrieve sensor data remotely.

Tools

Tool	Description
list_devices	List configured air-Q Cloud devices
get_air_quality	Get latest sensor readings (supports device/location/group selection)
get_air_quality_history	Get historical data within a time range

All tools are read-only — the Cloud API does not support device configuration or control.

Installation

pip install mcp-airq-cloud

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/CorantGmbH/mcp-airq-cloud.git
cd mcp-airq-cloud
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Configuration

You need a Cloud API key and the 32-character device ID for each device. Both can be obtained at my.air-q.com.

Option 1: Environment variable (inline JSON)

export AIRQ_CLOUD_DEVICES='[{"id": "de45d2ed777780c96c0deae7a220b745", "api_key": "your-api-key", "name": "Living Room"}]'

Option 2: Default config file (recommended)

Place a JSON file at ~/.config/airq-cloud-devices.json — no environment variable needed:

[
  {"id": "de45d2ed777780c96c0deae7a220b745", "api_key": "your-api-key", "name": "Living Room"}
]

Option 3: Custom config file path

export AIRQ_CLOUD_CONFIG_FILE=/path/to/devices.json

Option 4: Global API key

If all devices share the same API key, set it once:

export AIRQ_CLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export AIRQ_CLOUD_DEVICES='[{"id": "de45d2ed777780c96c0deae7a220b745", "name": "Living Room"}]'

Device config fields

Field	Required	Description
id	yes	32-character cloud device ID
api_key	no	Per-device API key (falls back to AIRQ_CLOUD_API_KEY)
name	no	Friendly name (defaults to first 8 chars of ID)
location	no	Location for grouping (e.g. "Wohnzimmer")
group	no	Group for grouping (e.g. "zu Hause")
