Getting Started
Start using Athenium weather data APIs and MCP server
Choose your integration method
Athenium offers two ways to access weather intelligence:
MCP Server (recommended for AI workflows)
The Weather MCP server lets AI assistants query weather data using natural language. No API integration code needed.
- Add the MCP server to your AI client (see quickstart)
- Authorize via OAuth when prompted (or use an API key with the Weather Risk MCP)
- Start asking questions about weather data
REST APIs (for programmatic access)
5 OpenAPI 3.1 APIs for direct integration into your applications.
- Get an API key from customer.support@athenium.com
