About Marine

Marine is an MCP server for coastal marine conditions that wraps the Open-Meteo Marine API without authentication. It provides current wave conditions and multi-day forecasts for water activities and maritime planning.

Key features

  1. 01Retrieve multi-day wave forecasts
  2. 02Check current wave conditions
  3. 03Return wave height, period, and direction

Use cases

  1. 01Plan surfing and other water activities
  2. 02Make plans based on current sea conditions

MCP support

It exposes get_wave_forecast and get_current_waves to MCP clients through Pipeworx or as a local stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project README

mcp-marine

Marine MCP — wraps marine-api.open-meteo.com (free, no auth)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1882+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
get_wave_forecastGet multi-day wave forecasts for coastal locations (e.g., "Hawaii", "California Coast"). Returns max wave height, period, and dominant direction per day. Use when planning water activities or monitoring upcoming swell.
get_current_wavesCheck real-time wave conditions at a coastal location. Returns current wave height, period, and direction. Use for immediate surfing, boating, or maritime planning decisions.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marine": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/marine/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/marine/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1882+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_wave_forecast \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"latitude":21.3099,"longitude":-157.8581,"days":5}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_wave_forecast. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-marine"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-marine

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Marine data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
