What assistants can ask BeachFinder

Beach search

Destination, distance, warm water, low wind, family, accessibility and amenities.

Current conditions

Water and air temperature, wind, UV, waves and currents where coverage exists.

Water activities

Surf, diving, snorkeling, rivers, whitewater and vanlife searches.

Activity providers

Surf, dive, SUP, kayak, whitewater, boat and beach services, plus campervan and motorhome rental or sales, RV dealers, van conversions, workshops and RV parks. Contact data stays out of assistant results.

Guides

Active practical, destination and GTA travel guides in BeachFinder's supported languages.

Community context

Anonymous aggregates of active reports, never raw user identities.

Provider requests the agent understands

The provider tool keeps the precise service and destination separate, then maps multilingual wording to BeachFinder's source-backed catalog without exposing direct contacts.

  • Where can I repair a surfboard near Hossegor?
  • Find a freediving center around Split.

Standalone Agent Skill

Skill for intent. MCP for live data.

Install the BeachFinder Skill so a compatible assistant can recognize requests about beaches, swimming conditions, surf, diving, snorkeling, whitewater, coastal vanlife and activity providers. The Skill chooses the right BeachFinder capability; the MCP server returns current, read-only results with canonical BeachFinder links.

Decision layer

Understands the request and selects the most useful BeachFinder search or comparison.

Live data layer

Twelve bounded MCP tools provide places, planning conditions, sources, freshness and links without exposing private contact data.

Security and privacy

  • Read-only tools; no booking, message, claim or profile modification.
  • No provider email, telephone or external website in agent results.
  • No raw community identities or exact provider-candidate coordinates.
  • Strict limits, bounded results and public quality gates.

Freshness and safety

Stable mapped facts and time-sensitive conditions are kept separate. Conditions are dated and fetched only for the highest-ranked results. BeachFinder never replaces official closures, flags, lifeguards or local authority advice.
