Kitesurf Forecast MCP

Minimal MCP server exposing two tools:

• spot.forecast{lat, lon, hours?} → Open-Meteo Marine hourly wind & waves (knots, meters)

• tide.predictions{station_id, begin_date, end_date, time_zone?, units?} → NOAA CO-OPS tide highs/lows

Deploy (Vercel)

1. Fork/clone → push to GitHub.

2. Go to vercel.com → New Project → Import your repo.

3. Build output is the default (Node on serverless). No env vars required.

4. On success you get: https://.vercel.app

Related MCP server: surfline-mcp

• Browser: open the root URL to see discovery JSON.

• cURL example (forecast): curl "https://.vercel.app/api/index.js" # should be handled by routes

Use in MCP host

Claude Desktop mcp.json

{ "mcpServers": { "kitesurf-mcp": { "url": "https://.vercel.app" } } }

Then ask: "Using kitesurf-mcp, call spot.forecast for lat=41.39, lon=-70.51, hours=24".

Notes

• Open-Meteo returns wind in knots when wind_speed_unit=kn.

• NOAA tides require a station id; find one at tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov.
