README
# BeachFinder MCP  **Turn "Where should I swim today?" into a source-backed answer.** BeachFinder gives AI assistants read-only access to public discovery across **184,900 beaches, lakes and swimming spots worldwide**. It can rank places for a user's real intent, compare options, add current planning signals where coverage exists, and always return a canonical BeachFinder link. ## Why connect BeachFinder? - Find beaches, lakes, bathing places and natural swimming spots by destination or consented location. - Compare water and air temperature, wind, gusts, UV, waves and currents where available. - Search for surf, diving, snorkeling, river, whitewater and vanlife-relevant locations. - Discover source-backed water-activity providers without exposing private or direct contact data. - Find practical destination, GTA 6 and football travel guides. - Read anonymous community-condition summaries without user identities. - Open every result on BeachFinder or continue in the iOS and Android app. BeachFinder supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish, Russian and Indonesian. ## Questions to try - "Find three calm swimming spots near Nice and explain why each one matches." - "Compare the current water temperature, wind and UV at beaches around Miami." - "Find beginner-relevant surf spots and source-backed surf providers near San Sebastian." - "Show snorkeling or diving spots around Crete without guessing visibility or safety." - "Find a lake for swimming near Munich and link me to the full BeachFinder pages." - "What do recent anonymous community reports say about this beach?" ## Connect in Claude 1.

Enable Developer Mode in ChatGPT settings. 2. Add a remote MCP server. 3. Enter `https://getbeachfinder.com/mcp` and choose no authentication. 4. Scan the tools, enable BeachFinder and test a destination search. Public directory availability depends on each assistant's review process and region. ## What the assistant receives Results are compact and designed for useful recommendations: - place name, type and public location context; - reasons for the ranking and a confidence label; - freshness and source attribution; - current planning signals when available; - canonical `getbeachfinder.com` page; - BeachFinder app link. The visual MCP App can render a responsive result list and OpenStreetMap view. ## 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. - [AI and MCP documentation](https://getbeachfinder.com/ai-search) - [Privacy policy](https://getbeachfinder.com/privacy.html) - [Terms of use](https://getbeachfinder.com/terms.html) - [Support](https://getbeachfinder.com/support) - [Download BeachFinder](https://getbeachfinder.com/app) ## Server details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | MCP endpoint | `https://getbeachfinder.com/mcp` | | Transport | Streamable HTTP, stateless | | Authentication | None for public read-only tools | | OpenAPI | `https://getbeachfinder.com/openapi.json` | | Version | `1.0.1` | | Data attribution | Data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); weather and marine planning signals from documented providers including Open-Meteo | This public repository contains directory metadata and documentation only.
