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/mcpStreamable HTTP transport, stateless, no authentication.
