Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server giving assistants free 15-day snow forecasts and conditions for 667 ski resorts in North America and Japan.

What you can do
  • Retrieve 15-day snow forecasts for ski resorts in North America and Japan.
  • Look up current snow conditions at one of 667 covered resorts.
  • No individual tools are documented in the supplied listing, so exact operations are not described.
When to use it
Useful when planning or discussing ski trips and you want an assistant to pull forecast and snow-condition information for a specific resort in North America or Japan.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at rove-ski.com using streamable HTTP. Authentication is required via OAuth, with a bearer API key sent in the Authorization header, obtained from the provider's AI page. No local runtime or environment variables are needed.
Before you install
An API key is required and must be supplied in the Authorization header, so keep it private. The service is limited to the 667 listed resorts in North America and Japan, and forecast accuracy is not guaranteed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ROVE Snow Forecast in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.rove-ski%2Fsnow-forecast/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

Quick install

Create a free ROVE account, then connect https://rove-ski.com/mcp in an OAuth-capable Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or VS Code client. Choose one-click OAuth 2.1 sign-in and complete browser authorization where supported. ROVE supports PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration. Client account requirements and OAuth availability depend on the client and version.

Claude Code

sh
claude mcp add --transport http rove https://rove-ski.com/mcp -s user

Run /mcp in Claude Code, select ROVE, and complete the browser authorization flow where supported.

Codex

sh
codex mcp add rove --url https://rove-ski.com/mcp

VS Code / Copilot

sh
code --add-mcp '{"name":"rove","type":"http","url":"https://rove-ski.com/mcp"}'

Cursor

Merge this server into your existing MCP configuration without replacing other servers:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "rove": { "url": "https://rove-ski.com/mcp" }  }}

Claude and other remote MCP clients

Add https://rove-ski.com/mcp as a remote connector and choose OAuth sign-in. Complete browser authorization where supported. The Claude Directory listing is also available.

Headless and URL-only clients

Sign in to your free ROVE account and create a free personal API key at rove-ski.com/en/ai. Send it as an HTTP header:

http
Authorization: Bearer rove_YOUR_KEY

For clients that accept only a URL, use:

text
https://rove-ski.com/mcp?key=rove_YOUR_KEY

Replace rove_YOUR_KEY with your personal key. Prefer the header when supported to keep the key out of URLs and URL logs. Never publish your credentials.

Example configurations

Merge the relevant example into your existing configuration without replacing other servers:

  • Cursor: OAuth endpoint; finish sign-in in the client.
  • Codex: personal API key URL for headless use. The quick-install command above uses OAuth in clients that support it.
  • Claude Desktop header configuration: personal API key for clients supporting this transport format.
  • Claude Desktop via mcp-remote: personal API key header through a local bridge; requires Node.js and npx.
  • Gemini: personal API key URL.

Authentication and rate limits

All 14 read-only tools are free with a free ROVE account. Authenticated requests have a limit of 600 requests/min, whether using OAuth or a personal API key. Unauthenticated MCP transport requests return HTTP 401 with a WWW-Authenticate discovery challenge. OAuth endpoints and Glama metadata endpoints remain public.

Data and provenance

Forecast availability varies by resort and time. Missing or stale values remain unavailable, not zero. Operator status is not inferred from a scheduled opening date. Resort-level hit rates are shown only when at least 10 actual snow days and real station evidence exist. Estimated data and Japan resorts do not receive published resort hit-rate figures.

The historical verification ledger covers 435 stations across mixed networks, including 105 USDA NRCS SNOTEL stations. It is not a claim that all 435 are SNOTEL stations or that every resort has a matched station. See get_accuracy for methodology.

Every tool response includes canonicalUrl, observedAt, attribution, JSON text content, and structured content. Cite ROVE and preserve upstream citations. search returns id, title, url, and text; pass a returned ID to fetch. Fetch accepts internal catalog documents only and never retrieves arbitrary caller-supplied URLs.

Try it

  • "Compare Mammoth Mountain and Palisades Tahoe for the next five days."
  • "Find powder in Tahoe starting today."
  • "Plan a ski trip for a specific date range and explain forecast uncertainty."

85% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
