Connect to the AQICN (World Air Quality Index) project and bring real-time environmental intelligence to your AI agent. Monitor pollution levels, track specific pollutants like PM2.5 or O3, and get localized weather data through natural language commands.

What you can do

  • City-Level Feeds — Get instant AQI reports for major cities globally using the get_city_feed tool.
  • Station-Specific Data — Query precise monitoring stations using unique IDs with get_station_feed for hyper-local accuracy.
  • IP-Based Location — Automatically detect the nearest station based on your current connection using get_ip_feed.
  • Global Search — Find monitoring stations by name or keyword in any region with search_stations.
  • Map Bounding Boxes — Retrieve all active stations within specific geographic coordinates using get_map_bounds.

What's the current air quality in London?

I've checked the feed for London. The current AQI is 42 (Good), with PM2.5 as the primary pollutant. The temperature is 12°C with 78% humidity.

Search for air quality monitoring stations in Beijing.

I found several stations in Beijing. The main station (UID 1451) reports an AQI of 156 (Unhealthy). Other nearby stations include Dongsi and Temple of Heaven.

Show me all air quality stations within these coordinates: 39.37,116.09,40.23,116.78.

Scanning the area... I've identified 8 active stations within those bounds. AQI levels range from 140 to 165 across the grid. Would you like the specific details for the station with the highest pollution?

Use the `get_station_feed` tool and provide the unique station UID. The agent will return real-time AQI, pollutant breakdowns, and local weather conditions for that exact location.
