VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyLocation & LifestyleWeb Search & Scraping

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that gives an assistant real-time surf conditions, spot lookup and a go/no-go verdict for beaches worldwide via the Should I Go? API.

What you can do
Check real-time conditions for a specific beach, returning a score, verdict, wave height, wind, water temperature, trend and board recommendation. Find the nearest surf spot to given coordinates, or let it auto-detect location. List available surf spots, optionally filtered by country.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about current surf conditions, decide whether a session is worth it, or find and browse surf spots near a location or in a given country.
Requirements
Runs locally as a stdio process, typically launched with npx from the npm package shouldigo-surf-mcp, so Node.js is needed. It calls the public Should I Go? API; no API key is required. Network access is needed, and the nearest-spot lookup may use your location when coordinates are omitted.
Before you install
The server sends requests to the third-party Should I Go? API, and location coordinates or auto-detected location may be shared with it. Usage is rate limited to 60 requests per 15 minutes. Conditions are advisory only; verify before relying on them for safety decisions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Shouldigo Surf in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
