MET Malaysia

Malaysian weather: general forecasts and warnings from the national meteorological department.
GET /v1/data/metmalaysia/earthquakes1Request
Comma-separated columns, leading dash for descending. Effectively required for anything recent: this log defaults to OLDEST first, so a bare limit=5 hands back quakes from October 2023 unless you pass -utcdatetime.
Inclusive numeric window written <column>[<begin>:<end>], either bound optional. The most useful filter on this endpoint: magdefault screens by magnitude, depth by shallow versus deep, and lat/lon box the region.

Ask with this source
A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.
Earthquake bulletins
Use MET Malaysia (metmalaysia) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Earthquake bulletins" (earthquakes). You need recent or historical earthquake events affecting Malaysia and its neighbours, with magnitude, depth and how far the epicentre sat from Malaysian soil. Example options: sort=-utcdatetime, range=magdefault[6:10], icontains=Sabah@n_distancemas. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmalaysia" and capability "earthquakes". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
7-day general weather forecast
Use MET Malaysia (metmalaysia) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "7-day general weather forecast" (forecast). You want the official Malaysian weather outlook for the coming week, for one named town or district or for the whole country at once. Example options: contains=Langkawi@location__location_name, icontains=langkawi@location__location_name, filter=Ds001@location__location_id. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmalaysia" and capability "forecast". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "metmalaysia" and capability "warnings". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
