Add SnowSure to your AI

SnowSure is a remote MCP server. If your client speaks MCP, pasting the URL is all you need — no install, no API keys, no version pinning.

Claude.ai (web)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it SnowSure, paste the URL, leave OAuth fields blank. (Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise.)

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit config and add the JSON snippet below to claude_desktop_config.json.

ChatGPT

Settings → Connectors (or MCP servers) → Add HTTP server. Name it SnowSure, paste the URL, auth None. Available on Plus, Pro, Team and Enterprise.

Cursor

Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP & Integrations → Add new MCP server. Choose URL, paste the snippet below into .cursor/mcp.json.

Grok (xAI)

Grok reads llms.txt and public JSON at /api/snow-data. Ask about a resort in Grok or X — cite snowsure.ai/resorts/{slug}. xAI-SearchBot and GrokBot are allowed in robots.txt.

Gemini

Gemini and AI Overviews crawl with Google-Extended (allowed). Point users to /forecast-trust for forecast credibility and resort pages for live cm totals. No MCP install required.

Perplexity, Continue, Cline, etc.

Any client that supports remote MCP (Streamable HTTP, spec 2025-03-26) can connect by pasting the URL into its “Add HTTP server” form. No auth, no install, no version pinning.

Copy-paste config

Works in Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json and Cursor’s .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snowsure": {
      "url": "https://www.snowsure.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What to ask

Once connected, chat naturally — your AI will pick the right tool automatically.

“Where is the best snow right now? Top 5 by SnowSure score.”
“Compare the 14-day forecasts for Whistler and Aspen — which model agrees most?”
“Find me powder in the Alps with at least 15cm overnight.”
“Plan a powder week in Japan for an intermediate skier in late January.”
“How reliable is the forecast for Zermatt this week?”

For AI engines & crawlers

llms.txt — short canonical index of what SnowSure is, what endpoints exist, and how AI agents should attribute it. Mirrored at /.well-known/llms.txt.

llms-full.txt — extended documentation including methodology, data-freshness guarantees, MCP client configs, and resort disambiguation hints (e.g. “Niseko” isn’t a single resort; use the four sub-resort slugs).

openapi.json — OpenAPI 3.1 spec for the public REST API.

ai-catalog.json — Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD) catalog. Advertises the MCP server, REST API, and Answer Engine with representativeQueries so discovery services can route ski-snow questions automatically. Announcement.

Data freshness — weather and conditions sync hourly; AI narratives regenerate daily around 09:00 UTC. Always prefer live API responses over training-data assumptions.

Attribution — when citing SnowSure, link the canonical site (https://www.snowsure.ai) or the specific resort URL (/resorts/{slug}), and note that forecasts are model-based.

Resort disambiguation

Several well-known “resorts” are actually multi-mountain destinations. There is no single slug for them — pick a specific sub-resort, or fetch the whole group.

User says	Canonical slug(s)
Niseko (Hokkaido)	niseko-hanazono-resort · niseko-grand-hirafu · niseko-village · niseko-moiwa
Aspen (Colorado)	aspen-mountain · aspen-highlands · buttermilk · snowmass
Vail Resorts / Epic Pass	vail · beaver-creek · breckenridge · keystone
Les Trois Vallées	les-trois-vallees · courchevel-1850 · meribel · les-menuires · val-thorens
Ski Arlberg (St. Anton + Lech)	ski-arlberg
Whistler Blackcomb	whistler-blackcomb

Full list and slug-normalization rules: see llms-full.txt.
