MCP server for solar generation forecasts via the open Quartz Solar Forecast model (Open Climate Fix)
Project description
solar-data-mcp-forecast
MCP server wrapping the open Quartz Solar Forecast model (Open Climate Fix) — the forecast domain of solar-data-mcp. No API key needed.

"Is today unusually sunny?" (forecast vs PVWatts typical-year) |
Run standalone: uvx --from solar-data-mcp-forecast solar-forecast-mcp — but see the
model-install note below; most users want the combined
solar-data-mcp
server, which adds the other three domains plus the skill and report layer.
Installing the model
quartz-solar-forecast pins pydantic==2.6.2, which conflicts with the MCP SDK,
so it is not a declared dependency. Install it alongside (it runs fine on newer
pydantic; the pin is conservative):
$ pip install solar-data-mcp-forecast
$ pip install --no-deps quartz-solar-forecast
$ pip install pv-site-prediction xarray xgboost openmeteo-requests requests-cache retry-requests
Without the model installed, the server still starts and its tools return an error containing these instructions.
Using forecasts with the combined solar-data-mcp server
An ephemeral uvx environment cannot hold the side-install above. Use a
persistent venv and point your agent at its entry point:
$ python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/solar-data-mcp
$ ~/.venvs/solar-data-mcp/bin/pip install solar-data-mcp
$ ~/.venvs/solar-data-mcp/bin/pip install --no-deps quartz-solar-forecast
$ ~/.venvs/solar-data-mcp/bin/pip install pv-site-prediction xarray xgboost openmeteo-requests requests-cache retry-requests
Then in the agent config, replace "command": "uvx", "args": ["solar-data-mcp"]
with "command": "~/.venvs/solar-data-mcp/bin/solar-data-mcp".
