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://<your-app>.vercel.app
Test
- Browser: open the root URL to see discovery JSON.
- cURL example (forecast):
curl "https://<your-app>.vercel.app/api/index.js" # should be handled by routes
Use in MCP host
Claude Desktop mcp.json
{ "mcpServers": { "kitesurf-mcp": { "url": "https://<your-app>.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.
