Beachmap MCP server

Remote Model Context Protocol server for World Beach Map — beaches worldwide from Wikidata, each with twelve monthly sea-surface temperatures from NOAA OISST v2.1, its shore type, its Wikipedia article and its photograph credit.

Free, read-only, no key or account. Listed in the official MCP registry as com.europebeachmap/beachmap — the namespace keeps the site's former domain, because a registry namespace is bound to the name it was verified under and cannot be renamed. The old endpoint, https://europebeachmap.com/mcp, therefore keeps answering rather than redirecting: a JSON-RPC client reads a 301 as a protocol error, not as a new address.

Endpoint

https://beachmapworld.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP transport, stateless, no authentication.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http beachmap https://beachmapworld.com/mcp

Claude / ChatGPT / other clients with remote MCP support — add https://beachmapworld.com/mcp as a custom connector, or use the generic config:

{ "mcpServers": { "beachmap": { "type": "http", "url": "https://beachmapworld.com/mcp" } } }
