Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

best

best_day

Which day in a window (max 7 days) is best for an activity at a destination — a spot, a region, or lat+lon with a radius — and why, versus the runner-up. Returns every day's best score, confidence, caveats and a KaiCast spot card for the winner. Free during early access.

conditions

get_conditions

Facts for ONE covered spot over up to 7 days: 3-hour forecast periods with condition score (0-100) and rating, water visibility (ft), swell height/period/direction, wind, tide state and height, water temperature, plus tide events and data quality. Pass a spot id, or lat+lon to use the nearest covered spot within 30 km. Free.

coverage

list_coverage

Which regions and spots KaiCast covers, and whether each region supports ranked decisions (spot picks and best-day answers) or facts only. Also lists supported activities and how directly each is modeled. Anywhere not listed is not covered. Free.

recommend

recommend_spot

Ranked top picks (max 5) for an activity in one area on one day — by region id, or lat+lon with a radius. Each pick has the best daylight window, why (from the published conditions), a confidence score with its factors, caveats, and a KaiCast spot card. Returns status "not_covered" / "conditions_only" / "activity_not_modeled" honestly instead of guessing. Activities: snorkel (native model), dive, freedive, spearfish (proxy model; spots in water closed to spearfishing are excluded), surf (not modeled). Free during early access.

KaiCast Ocean Conditions — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can KaiCast Ocean Conditions do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: best_day, get_conditions, list_coverage, recommend_spot. 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 KaiCast Ocean Conditions working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 496 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect KaiCast Ocean 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 KaiCast Ocean Conditions need an API key?

No. KaiCast Ocean Conditions completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is KaiCast Ocean Conditions?

It answers our handshake in 496 ms on average, which is faster than 27% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
