Example queries via MCP
Once connected through the MCP server, you can ask Claude:
- “What were the weather conditions at the Cunningham Gap site last month?”
- “Were there any weather warnings active during the week of 10 March for postcode 4000?”
- “What is the forecast for our Morningside site this week?”
- “How many wet-weather days did we have at Burringbar in Q1?”
On Connected tier, weather data can be correlated directly against site diary entries from Assignar - ask “Which days did weather delays get recorded in site diaries and what were the BOM conditions?”
