Is BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 213 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions need an API key?

No. BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions open source?

Yes — 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
