## What weather-tools does, in the publisher's words

Demonstrates the two most involved parts of Agent Plugins 1.0.0 in one plugin:

- mcp.json with a stdio MCP server, using a plugin-relative command (./bin/weather-server.sh) and ${PLUGIN_ROOT} / ${PLUGIN_DATA} placeholder expansion in args, env, and cwd.
- extensions in plugin.json plus a matching com.example.client/ extension directory, per spec section 8.

bin/weather-server.sh is a stub: it does not implement the MCP protocol. Swap it for a real MCP server (any language, speaking MCP over stdio) to make this plugin functional.

From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized. Full text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ETroll/tmp-plugins/HEAD/plugins/weather-tools/README.md

## Skills

- weather-lookup: Look up current weather and short-term forecasts using this plugin's bundled weather-server MCP tool. Use when the user asks about current weather or a forecast for a location.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- weather-server: transport: stdio; command: ./bin/weather-server.sh --cache-dir ${PLUGIN_DATA}/cache; env: WEATHER_CONFIG
