TidesAtlas MCP

An official MCP server provided by TidesAtlas that allows AI agents to access worldwide tide times, heights, marine weather, sea temperature, and astronomical data for over 13,000 ports. It exposes 8 tools including tides, ports, countries, weather, marine, astronomy, conditions, and history, enabling integration with platforms like Claude and Cursor.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

What its tools do

10 tools, grouped by the hints the server advertises. Hints are self-declared, not verified behavior.

10 of 10 have a description · 10 of 10 declare behavior hints · 9 of 9 with parameters document them all

Checks and signals

Each line is separate evidence, not a trust score.

  • Passed Endpoint answered the live check ·
  • Passed Official MCP Registry namespace is tied to tidesatlas.com ·
  • Passed Endpoint is on the registry namespace domain ·
  • Availability 1 of 1 checks passed in 30 days

What you can do with it

  • Fetch tide times and heights for specific ports or coordinates
  • Retrieve marine weather and sea temperature data
  • Access astronomical data such as sun and moon phases
  • List available ports and countries for tide predictions

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http tidesatlas-mcp https://tidesatlas.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add tidesatlas-mcp --url https://tidesatlas.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable tidesatlas-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tidesatlas-mcp": {
      "url": "https://tidesatlas.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration

  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start tidesatlas-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "tidesatlas-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tidesatlas.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http tidesatlas-mcp https://tidesatlas.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
