Tools it offers

21 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

  • search_resortsFind ski resorts worldwide by name, country or distance. Returns at most 20 matches and does not expose the bulk resort index.
  • get_conditionsGet current snow, reported lift and run counts, weather and season state. Lift and run counts are reported status, not guaranteed live.
  • get_forecastGet the available daily snow, temperature, freezing level and wind-hold risk forecast, up to 10 requested days.
  • plan_my_dayBuild modelled suggested runs in time order from forecast weather, sun, snow and mapped terrain. Only plans days inside the reported winter season; summer lift or bike-park operation does not count as open for skiing. Ea
  • sun_on_the_mountainShow modelled sun and shade windows for eight slope aspects, with local terrain-horizon shading where DEM coverage exists.
  • route_on_mountainRoute between named pistes, lifts, the resort base or latitude,longitude coordinates using mapped OSM pistes and lifts. Names match accent-insensitively and partially (exact, then prefix, then contained words); a piste o
  • avalanche_dangerSummarise the regional avalanche bulletin covering a resort: EAWS in Europe, avalanche.org centres in the US and Avalanche Canada, with zone, issuing centre, issue and expiry times and a link to the official forecast. Ex
  • mountain_factsRead mapped OSM terrain inventory, lift fleet, vertical, longest run, carefully matched Wikidata facts, season dates and modelled snow reliability.
  • where_is_it_snowingRank the freshest recently reported snow from the cached EM Snow home-page ranking.
  • best_time_to_goGet historical snow odds from the local ERA5 archive and quiet-week guidance where the crowd scorer covers the resort.
  • season_recapSummarise the most recent completed ski season from the local ERA5 archive first.
  • snow_reliabilityGet an explainable snow-reliability score from long-run ERA5 snow depth.
  • nearby_resortsFind nearby resorts from the local EM Snow resort index.
  • get_webcamsGet nearby webcam images and their source links, with the required provider credit.
  • get_snow_reportsGet recent visible community reports, including whether each came from the website or was relayed by an AI assistant.
  • watch_resortReturn a one-tap EM Snow URL where the person can watch a resort and optionally add dates. This tool does not collect email.
  • add_snow_reportOnly relay a report from a person who is at, or was just at, the resort. Never invent a report. The report goes live immediately and is labelled as relayed via an AI assistant.
  • suggest_resortSuggest a missing resort for human review. This never adds it directly to the resort index.
  • get_extended_outlookGet a 16-day daily outlook (snowfall, temperatures, freezing level, maximum gusts and, for the first days, precipitation probability) from EM Snow's self-hosted GFS and ECMWF IFS models. Days 1 to 7 overlap get_forecast;
  • get_resort_mediaGet images for a resort that vision-capable assistants can show: nearby webcams with provider credit, a Wikimedia Commons photo with its per-file licence, author and source page, the EM Snow sun and shade teaser where on
  • fly_this_mountainGet a link that plays a simulated 3D tour of a resort in the EM Snow flyby (lifts up, named runs down, on the mapped piste network), or a tour of runs you name. Pick names match like route_on_mountain; ambiguous names re

Questions

What is the EM Snow MCP server?

Ski resort conditions, forecasts, avalanche danger, sun, routes and snow history for 5,000+ resorts. It is made by snow.extreme-media.co.uk and listed in the official MCP Registry as uk.co.extreme-media.snow/em-snow. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add EM Snow to Claude?

In the Claude app or claude.ai, open Settings, then Connectors, choose "Add custom connector" and paste https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http em-snow https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp

How do I add EM Snow to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT can use remote MCP servers as connectors. In ChatGPT settings, under Apps and Connectors, turn on developer mode if asked, create a new connector and paste https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp.
