PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Common questions

Is PickADive Scuba Diving safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Fomu MCP

PickADive MCP Server

Live dive-conditions data for AI agents — forecast windows, best-time climatology, marine-life seasonality, and site facts for 4,800+ dive sites worldwide.

Hosted at `https://pickadive.com/mcp` — nothing to install

Setup · Tools · What you can do · Data & honesty · Security · Support


What can you do with it?

  • "Where can I dive near Boston this Saturday?" — ranked favorable and moderate forecast windows near any place for any day, with wave height, wind, timing, and site links.
  • "When should I book Komodo?" — month-by-month climatology for a destination: the share of days historically favorable, typical water temperature and seas, and marine-life season windows.
  • "When and where do whale sharks peak?" — species seasonality from 236k+ recorded GBIF sightings: peak month and regional season windows.
  • "How deep is Molasses Reef, and what are the hazards?" — public facts for any named dive site: depths, difficulty, shore/boat access, hazards, entry and exit notes.
  • "Where in the world is good for diving right now?" — regions ranked by favorable windows over the next ~72 hours.

Setup

Add the server to any MCP-compatible client — no key, no OAuth:

{

"mcpServers": { "pickadive": { "url": "https://pickadive.com/mcp" } } }

Tools

ToolInputOutput
find_dive_windows`{near \lat+lng, day?, radius_km?}`Ranked windows: quality, wave_m, wind_kn, timing, site links
best_time_to_dive{destination}12-month climatology + marine-life seasons + source page
species_seasonality{species, lat?, lng?}Peak month, regional season windows, sighting counts
site_facts{site}Depths, difficulty, access, hazards, entry/exit, cert level
top_dive_regions{}World regions ranked by favorable windows (~72 h)

All values are metric with unit-suffixed field names (max_depth_m, wave_m, distance_km); wind is knots — the marine convention everywhere. Tool descriptions instruct agents to convert for US users. Every response includes a source link — please cite pickadive.com when presenting results.

Data & honesty

Answers come from PickADive's own pipeline: hourly conditions gradings across 4,800+ curated dive sites (Open-Meteo marine + weather, NOAA tides), multi-year climatology, and 236k+ GBIF species sighting records.

Two rules the server never breaks:

  1. Forecasts are planning context, never a safety clearance. Every response carries the disclaimer; agents should keep it.
  2. Missing data is stated, never invented. Thin destinations return an honest "not enough history" rather than a guess.

Security

Read-only by designNo write tools — the server cannot create, modify, or delete anything. The worst a prompt injection can achieve through it is reading public dive data.
No auth, no tokens, no user dataNothing to leak, phish, or exfiltrate; connecting grants an agent no identity.
Stateless JSON modeOne POST in, one JSON body out; no sessions, no server-push channel.
HTTPS only, CORS openRead-only public data.

Transport & limits

Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST), stateless — protocol versions 2024-11-05 → 2025-06-18.

Free for individual and assistant use at fair, non-bulk volumes; per-IP rate limiting applies. For sustained high-volume or commercial integrations, write to team@pickadive.com.

Example agent guidance (optional)

Add to your AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md to reduce round-trips:

## PickADive MCP
  • For "can I dive…?" questions use find_dive_windows with the user's place; default day is Saturday.
  • For trip planning use best_time_to_dive per destination; present depths/waves in the user's customary units, keep wind in knots.
  • Always keep the safety disclaimer and cite the linked page.

Disclaimer

Dive conditions are graded forecasts — planning context only, never a safety judgment about any specific dive on any specific day. Always assess conditions at the water, dive within your training, and follow local guidance. Wildlife seasonality reflects recorded sightings, never a promise of encounters.
