Ask your AI about the snow.
Add EM Snow to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any assistant that speaks MCP (the Model Context Protocol). It can then read live conditions, forecasts, snow history and quiet weeks for 5,100+ ski resorts, and link you back to the resort page.
https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp
That is the only thing you need. It is a remote server: nothing to install, no account, no key.
What your AI can do with it
Find a resort
- Search resorts by name, country or distance. search_resorts
- Nearby resorts around one you already know. nearby_resorts
Right now

- Where is it snowing: the freshest reported snow. where_is_it_snowing
- Webcams near the resort, with credit. get_webcams
- Snow reports from people on the mountain. get_snow_reports
Plan a trip
- Forecast: daily snow, temperatures, freezing level and wind-hold risk. get_forecast
- Best time to go: historical snow odds and quiet weeks. best_time_to_go
- Snow reliability and typical skiable days. snow_reliability
- Season recap of the last completed winter. season_recap
Take part
- Watch a resort: a one-tap link for alerts, no email asked. watch_resort
- Add a snow report you give it from the mountain. add_snow_report
- Suggest a missing resort for us to review. suggest_resort
Add it to your assistant
Claude (claude.ai, the mobile app and Claude Desktop)
- Open Settings > Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector.
- Name it EM Snow and paste the server address above. Leave authentication empty.
- In a chat, switch EM Snow on from the tools menu, then just ask.
Custom connectors depend on your Claude plan. On a Team or Enterprise plan an owner may need to add it first.
Claude Code: run this in a terminal.
claude mcp add --transport http em-snow https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp
ChatGPT
- Open Settings > Apps and, under advanced settings, turn on Developer mode (if your plan and workspace allow custom MCP apps).
- Choose Create, name it EM Snow, paste the server address and pick No authentication.
- Check the tool list it shows you, then create the app and select it in a chat.
Cursor
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project).
{
"mcpServers": {
"em-snow": {
"url": "https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp"
}
}
}
VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent mode)
Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace, or run MCP: Add Server from the command palette.
{
"servers": {
"em-snow": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp"
}
}
}
Any other MCP client
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (remote server).
- URL: https://snow.extreme-media.co.uk/mcp
- Authentication: none. Requests are JSON-RPC over POST; the server is stateless.
- Discovery card: /.well-known/mcp.json. Full technical notes: /mcp.md.
Things to ask
- Where is it snowing in the Alps this week?
- What is the best week to ski St Anton, and when is it quiet?
- How reliable is the snow in Tignes compared with Val Thorens?
- Is it worth going to Chamonix this weekend? Check the forecast and the lifts.
- Add a snow report for Tignes: 20 cm fresh this morning, lovely powder.
The rules for writing
Snow reports are only for passing on what a real person at the resort tells the assistant. They go live straight away and are labelled "via an AI assistant", so everyone can see where they came from. Please never let an assistant invent one.
Resort suggestions only join a queue that a person reviews. Nothing is added to the public resort list automatically.
Credit and limits
If your assistant shows EM Snow data, it should say it came from EM Snow and link the resort page it was given. Sources and licences are listed on the data credits page.
Reading is limited to 60 calls a minute and writing to 5 an hour, per address. It is free while we keep it free; heavy commercial use should talk to us first at [email protected].
We count tool calls per day to see what is useful. We never store your address: only a one-way hash, used to count distinct clients.
