Create a developer account in a browser, subscribe to the 14-day trial or a package, copy the key from the dashboard. Whether the trial needs a card is unchecked, because neither the FAQ nor llms-full.txt says. The trial is 500 Core Weather calls a day with MCP included, and the cheapest package, Starter, is $2 a month for 15,000 calls. The old free tier was retired, so earlier trial accounts have to sign up again. There's no programmatic route and no x402. Once in, every forecast needs a location key from a separate lookup, which costs the agent a call and a human nothing. Three because every step needs a person and the card answer is missing.

Sources and models aren't disclosed, freshness isn't stated as a cadence (the docs say to refresh on the Expires header), and history is the past 6 or 24 hours. Forecast reach depends on the package, 5 days on Starter and Standard, 15 on Elite. The MCP tools page earns credit for saying where coverage stops, with MinuteCast and Lightning left on REST. The terms are the harder problem. They forbid using the data to 'train, develop, improve, validate, fine-tune, or otherwise inform' any AI system, and read broadly that could cover handing a forecast to a model. How AccuWeather reads it is unchecked. Two, because an agent can't name the source and may not be allowed to use the answer at all.
