Local-first air-quality MCP for AI agents — AirGradient, AirThings, PurpleAir, IQAir, Awair.
⚡ One-command install — pick your runtime:
- Delx Wellness for Hermes:
npx -y delx-wellness-hermes setup- Delx Wellness for OpenClaw:
npx -y delx-wellness-openclaw setupOr wire it standalone into Claude Desktop / Cursor / ChatGPT Desktop — see the install section below.
Default is stdio. Optional Streamable HTTP — no session id, JSON responses, loopback only:
npx -y wellness-air --http
# GET http://127.0.0.1:3000/health
# POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp (sessionless)
Env: WELLNESS_AIR_HOST, WELLNESS_AIR_PORT, WELLNESS_AIR_TRANSPORT=http.
Wellness Air is a local MCP server that exposes air-quality readings to any MCP-aware AI agent. It ships with first-class AirGradient support (open hardware + free public API — no auth needed for the 2,000+ public sensors in the worldwide feed). AirThings and PurpleAir are implemented (bring your own free API credentials); IQAir AirVisual and Awair are on the roadmap.
If wellness-air helps your agent, please star the repo. Stars make the project easier for other AI builders to discover and help Delx keep shipping local-first wellness infrastructure.
# 89 is a real, public AirGradient sensor (Prem Tinsulanonda School, Thailand).
# Swap in one near you from https://www.airgradient.com/map/ — copy the numeric
# locationId from the URL.
WELLNESS_AIR_DEFAULT_LOCATION=89 npx -y wellness-air doctor
WELLNESS_AIR_DEFAULT_LOCATION=89 npx -y wellness-air current
That's it — no token, no signup, no telemetry. Public reads use AirGradient's token-free worldwide feed, so any locationId in that feed works out of the box.

Coach: "Recovery's low AND the bedroom AQI was unhealthy last night.
Skip outdoor cardio today — try mobility + low-intensity strength indoors with HEPA running."
Most agents miss the room-quality variable entirely. wellness-air closes that gap.
