"Rust (stable)" understates the floor. rmcp, darling and time declare
rust-version 1.88, and cargo metadata resolves both crates to 1.88.

The Ruby aside said 3.3 also satisfies the gems. anthropic requires
>= 3.2.0 and mcp >= 2.7.0, so the gem floor was 3.2, and 3.2 reached EOL
on 2026-03-31. CI runs 3.4, which is what the READMEs now state.

The Go and Rust clients take a command plus arguments, not a path to a
server script.

Removed the commit-message convention, which is attributed to the MCP
contributing guidelines but does not appear in them. Added the
AI_POLICY.md link that CONTRIBUTING.md points to.

A Simple MCP Weather Server written in Rust

A minimal MCP server that exposes US weather data from the National Weather Service API as two tools:

  • get_forecast – get the forecast for a location (takes latitude and longitude)
  • get_alerts – get active weather alerts for a US state (takes a two-letter state code)

This example accompanies the Build an MCP server tutorial.

Prerequisites

  • Rust 1.88+ and Cargo

Build and run

cargo build --release
./target/release/weather

Or, during development:

cargo run

The server communicates over stdio, so running it directly just waits for a client on stdin. To see it in action, launch it from one of the client examples in this repository, for example:

cd ../mcp-client-rust
cargo run -- ../weather-server-rust/target/release/weather

Structured content

Both tools declare an output_schema and return structured_content. get_forecast returns an object; get_alerts returns a top-level JSON array, which protocol revision 2026-07-28 is the first to allow — see Structured Content in the spec.

Note that an array-rooted schema requires a 2026-07-28 client: rmcp sends it as written on every connection rather than projecting it down, so an older client rejects the tool list.
