Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to getbeachfinder.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only remote MCP server for finding beaches, lakes and swimming spots worldwide, with current water, weather and wind planning signals.

What you can do: Search beaches, lakes, bathing places and swim spots by city or consented coordinates, ranked for swimming, family, warm water, low wind, surf or accessibility
Search activity-specific locations: surf spots, dive and snorkel sites, river and whitewater spots, and van or camping spots near beaches
Find water-activity providers such as surf schools, dive centers and rental or tour operators, plus published destination and travel guides
Get details and current water, weather, wind, UV, wave and current signals for one spot, or an anonymous aggregate of community reports
Compare two to five spot IDs side by side using documented facts and available conditions
When to use it: Useful when someone asks where to swim, surf, dive or paddle near a destination, wants current conditions compared across nearby beaches, or needs local activity providers and travel guides with source-backed links.
Requirements: Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no API key, account or environment variables are needed for the public read-only tools. Network access to the provider's endpoint is required.

Before you install

All tools are read-only and cannot book, message or edit anything. Conditions are planning signals only, not safety declarations; official closures, flags and lifeguards take priority. Exact coordinates are accepted only with user consent. Provider results omit direct contact data, and results link out to the provider's own site and app.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.getbeachfinder%2Fbeachfinder/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Safety and privacy

BeachFinder never declares that swimming is safe. Forecasts and community observations are planning signals. Official closures, beach flags, lifeguards and local authorities always take priority.

All tools are read-only. They cannot book, message, claim, moderate or edit anything. Provider results exclude email, phone, external website and private contact data. Exact user coordinates are accepted only when the user consents and are not written to application logs.
