BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions do?

It exposes 13 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_spots, get_community_conditions, get_spot_conditions, get_spot_details, search_activity_providers, search_beaches and 7 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 92 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 509 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 in the form 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 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions?

It answers our handshake in 509 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is BeachFinder - beaches and live conditions open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
