INDIVIDUAL MCP TOOL

get_current_conditions

Answers "can I see the aurora right now?" for a location - a concise snapshot of AuroraReach's current score, yes/maybe/no recommendation, live aurora activity signals (kp gap, Bz, solar wind), current cloud/visibility conditions, darkness state, the reasoning behind the recommendation, a link to the live AuroraReach page for this location, and (by default) a few relevant bookable offers.

Related tools

search_locations — Resolve a place name (or browse a country) into AuroraReach location ids.
get_location — Get everything AuroraReach knows about a single location in one call: basic metadata, its current aurora condition/score, a historical sighting-report summary, nearby AuroraReach-tracked locations, a link to the full AuroraReach page for this location (more photos, detail and booking options live there), and (by default) a few relevant bookable offers.
get_aurora_forecast — AuroraReach's primary forecast tool: returns AuroraReach's own interpreted forecast for a location (not raw upstream NOAA/weather data) - a 0-100 score, a yes/maybe/no recommendation, a heuristic confidence, the best viewing window in the next 24h, cloud/weather impact, darkness/viewing suitability, and the individual signals behind the score.
get_global_activity — Returns AuroraReach's current worldwide aurora activity: the strongest continents, currently-active countries and cities (with scores, using the same threshold AuroraReach's public /highlights pages use), and any upcoming global geomagnetic storm windows (NOAA G-scale).
find_active_locations — Finds AuroraReach-tracked locations with a currently open/flagged aurora sighting event (status=active), optionally restricted to a country or a lat/lng radius.
get_nearby_locations — Given an AuroraReach location, returns other AuroraReach-tracked locations near it - distance, compass direction, current score and canonical URL for each.
find_best_viewing_locations — AuroraReach's opinionated answer to "where nearby should I drive?" - evaluates AuroraReach-tracked locations near an origin using the real forecast engine (same as get_aurora_forecast) for the requested date/time, and returns them ranked with score, conditions, distance, and a `why` explaining how each one compares to the top pick.
get_viewing_hotspots — Surfaces AuroraReach-tracked locations (towns/cities, not individual lookout points or photo spots) near a destination that are historically well-regarded for aurora viewing (ranked by rating and observation volume), plus a count of recent community aurora check-ins nearby as a real-activity signal, with an explicit date range and radius.
