# OhMyWind MCP server Sailing passage planner for any coast, with high-precision tides on the French Atlantic. ## Links - Registry page: https://www.getdrio.com/mcp/fr-ohmywind-sailing-planner - Repository: https://github.com/qdonnars/ohmywind - Website: https://ohmywind.fr ## Install - Endpoint: https://mcp.ohmywind.fr/mcp - Auth: Not captured ## Setup notes - Remote endpoint: https://mcp.ohmywind.fr/mcp ## Tools - read_me - Return OhMyWind's calculation methodology as Markdown. Call this when the user asks how passage timing, complexity, or boat speed are computed (e.g. "comment c'est calculé ?", "what assumptions does the model use?", "is tacking modelled?"). The returned text covers: polar lookup, default efficiency 0.75, VMG / tacking correction, wave derate, single-pass timing, compare-windows mode semantics, Mediterranean simplifications (tides, currents), and what is intentionally NOT modelled in V1. Endpoint: https://mcp.ohmywind.fr/mcp - list_boat_archetypes - List the 7 boat archetypes with descriptive metadata. The LLM (or user) maps a commercial model (e.g. "Sun Odyssey 32") to one of these archetypes from the metadata — there is no server-side mapping. Endpoint: https://mcp.ohmywind.fr/mcp - get_marine_forecast - Fetch wind (and sea, when available) for a point and time window. Args: lat: latitude in degrees. lon: longitude in degrees. start: ISO-8601 datetime, timezone-aware (e.g. "2026-05-01T06:00:00+00:00"). end: ISO-8601 datetime, timezone-aware. models: optional list of model names; defaults to AROME for the Med. Note: the first request after inactivity may incur ~5s of cold-start. Endpoint: https://mcp.ohmywind.fr/mcp - plan_passage - Plan an A→B passage. Compare departure windows by default; pin a single departure only when the user gives an explicit time. ## Tool routing — read this first Before calling, classify the user's question: 1. **Pure weather lookup at a point** ("y aura-t-il du vent à Cassis samedi à 14h ?", "quelles vagues dimanche au cap Sicié ?") — call ``get_marine_forecast`` and answer in text. Do NOT call ``plan_passage``: there's no route to plan. 2. **Trajet question with a flexible date** ("Marseille → Porquerolles ce week-end", "demain ou après-demain", "dans les prochains jours") — call ``plan_passage`` in **compare-windows mode**: pass ``latest_departure`` (e.g. earliest+48h) and ``sweep_interval_hours`` (3 or 6 typically) so the user sees several departure scenarios side-by-side. Then pick 2-3 good ones and let the user choose. This is the **default** for trajet planning — same API cost as a single passage thanks to cache prewarm, much more value. 3. **Trajet with a precise hour pinned by the user** ("je pars demain à 8h", "départ Saturday 9am") — call ``plan_passage`` in single mode (no ``latest_departure``). Used for the final "show me the detailed plan for THIS departure" view, often after step 2. 4. **Methodology question** ("comment c'est calculé ?", "quelle efficacité par défaut ?") — call ``read_me``. Rule of thumb: if the user does NOT give an exact hour, prefer compare-windows. The widget renders one of the windows by default and the chat lets the user pick another. ## Returned payload Single mode: - ``passage``: per-segment timing report (distance_nm, duration_h, model used, segments[] with TWS/TWA/boat_speed/Hs, warnings). - ``complexity``: 1-5 difficulty score with wind/sea breakdown and a human-readable rationale. - ``openwind_url``: deep-link to ohmywind.fr/plan that renders the same passage in the standalone web app. Compare-windows mode (``latest_departure`` set): - ``mode``: ``"multi_window"``. - ``sweep``: ``earliest`` / ``latest`` / ``interval_hours`` / ``window_count``. - ``windows[]``: each entry has ``departure``, ``arrival``, ``duration_h``, ``distance_nm``, ``complexity`` (level + label + rationale), ``conditions_summary`` (tws_min/max, predominant sail angle, hs_min/max), ``warnings``, ``passage`` (full per-segment report), ``complexity_full`` (full score), ``openwind_url``. - ``meta_warnings``: top-level notes ("3 fenêtres ignorées …"). ## How it renders On hosts that support MCP Apps (Claude, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, VS Code Copilot, Goose, Postman, MCPJam), the response is automatically accompanied by an interactive widget — the live ohmywind.fr/plan view served via the ``ui://openwind/plan-passage`` resource declared on this tool's ``_meta``. The widget reads ``openwind_url`` from the structured output and embeds the matching plan view as an iframe. On hosts without MCP Apps support (Cursor, Le Chat, terminal), present a short text summary of the result (route, ETA, complexity, warnings) and offer ``openwind_url`` as the "View full plan →" link. ## ALWAYS include the openwind_url(s) in your text reply Even when the widget renders inline, the user wants the link spelled out so they can open the full app, share it, or bookmark it. Treat this as a hard requirement, not a fallback: - **Single mode**: end your reply with a Markdown link built from the ``openwind_url`` field, e.g. ``[Voir le plan détaillé →]()``. Always use that value verbatim, never a URL you compose yourself: it points at the environment this server is configured for, which is not always the production site. - **Compare-windows mode**: list 2-4 of the most relevant windows and give each its own link, e.g. ``- Sam 2 mai 09h · 11h12 · ⚡2/5 — [voir →](url)``. The user picks one from the chat, not the widget. Phrase the link with intent ("voir le plan détaillé", "ouvrir cette fenêtre dans l'app"), not just a bare URL — the user should know what clicking does. ## Args waypoints: list of ``{"lat": ..., "lon": ...}`` dicts (>=2). Caller keeps the polyline off land — add intermediate waypoints to skirt capes and peninsulas. departure: ISO-8601 datetime, timezone-aware. archetype: one of ``list_boat_archetypes()`` names. efficiency: multiplier on polar speed. ``0.85`` racing, ``0.75`` cruising (default), ``0.65`` loaded family cruising, ``0.55`` heavy seas / fouled hull. segment_length_nm: target sub-segment length. Default 10 nm balances precision vs Open-Meteo budget; drop to 5 for tight coastal work, raise to 20 for long offshore legs. model: wind model. Default ``"auto"`` tries AROME (≤48 h) → ICON-EU (≤5 d) → ECMWF IFS 0.25° (≤10 d) → GFS (≤16 d). Pass an explicit name to bypass. max_hs_m: optional max significant wave height (meters) over the route — pass it if you have a sea-state estimate from ``get_marine_forecast`` and want it factored into the score. Defaults to wind-only scoring. motor_threshold_kn: optional sail-speed floor (knots) under which the simulator switches to engine power. Must be paired with ``motor_speed_kn`` (either alone is ignored). Typical value 2 kn — sailors fire up the engine rather than crawl in light wind. Leave unset for 100% sail. Range (0, 10]. motor_speed_kn: optional speed under engine (knots) applied to segments where the sail estimate falls under ``motor_threshold_kn``. Typical 5-6 kn for a cruising boat. Range (0, 12]. ## Compare-windows mode (latest_departure set) When ``latest_departure`` is provided, the tool switches into a window-comparison call: it walks departure times from ``departure`` up to ``latest_departure`` every ``sweep_interval_hours`` (default 1 h). Returns ``{"mode": "multi_window", "sweep": {...}, "windows": [...]}`` instead of the single-passage payload. Each window contains ``departure``, ``arrival``, ``duration_h``, ``distance_nm``, ``complexity``, ``conditions_summary``, ``warnings``, and its own ``openwind_url``. ``target_eta``: optional ISO-8601 datetime. When set, only windows that arrive within ±2 h of the target are returned. If none match, all windows are returned with a ``meta_warnings`` note. ## Failure modes Raises ``ForecastHorizonError`` if the chosen model's horizon doesn't cover the passage and ``model != "auto"``. The error message names the failing model and suggests longer-range alternatives. Endpoint: https://mcp.ohmywind.fr/mcp ## Resources - ui://openwind/plan-passage - MCP Apps UI resource — renders the plan inline (no nested iframe). Receives the tool's ``structuredContent`` over postMessage (per the MCP Apps spec — the host pushes results to the iframe via a JSON-RPC dialect on the postMessage channel) and binds the inner iframe's ``src`` to ``openwind_url`` from the result. Defensive against multiple message shapes — different hosts have different framings, and the spec is young — and falls back to a deep-link CTA if no result arrives within 6 s.
