Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 805 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name kaicast.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 6 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 805 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 805 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    34 of 34 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-06T11:43:40.901048Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 6

best_day

Which day in a window (max 7 days) is best for an activity at a destination — a spot, a region, or lat+lon with a radius — and why, versus the runner-up. Returns every day's best score, confidence, caveats and a KaiCast spot card for the winner. Free during early access.

Discovered
best_months

Ranks the calendar months for one thing at one place: an activity (dive, snorkel, freedive, whale_swim), a species (e.g. manta, whale shark), or calm seas / warm water / clear water. Says whether the ranking comes from multi-year data or curated research seasons, with confidence and caveats. A decision call: metered, free during early access.

Discovered
get_conditions

Facts for ONE covered spot over up to 7 days: 3-hour forecast periods with condition score (0-100) and rating, water visibility (ft), swell height/period/direction, wind, tide state and height, water temperature, plus tide events and data quality. Pass a spot id, or lat+lon to use the nearest covered spot within 30 km. Free.

Discovered
get_seasonality

What a place is usually like in a given month, for trip planning months ahead: per month, sea-surface temperature (p10/p50/p90 °C), wave height (p50/p90 m), wind (p50/p90 m/s), share of rough days, model water visibility (p25/p50/p75 m, low confidence), tropical-cyclone frequency, wildlife seasons, access rules and best activities. Every field carries its sources; curated seasons are drafts pending local review. Pass an area id, a spot id, or lat+lon, and optionally a month range. Free.

Discovered
list_coverage

Which regions and spots KaiCast covers, and whether each region supports ranked decisions (spot picks and best-day answers) or facts only. Also lists supported activities and how directly each is modeled. Anywhere not listed is not covered. Free.

Discovered
recommend_spot

Ranked top picks (max 5) for an activity in one area on one day — by region id, or lat+lon with a radius. Each pick has the best daylight window, why (from the published conditions), a confidence score with its factors, caveats, and a KaiCast spot card. Returns status "not_covered" / "conditions_only" / "activity_not_modeled" honestly instead of guessing. Activities: snorkel (native model), dive, freedive, spearfish (proxy model; spots in water closed to spearfishing are excluded), surf (not modeled). Free during early access.
