Terms of use

The service

MCP for PADI connects AI apps to your PADI dive logbook. It is a free, independent open-source project run by Marco Visin, Lugano, Switzerland. There is no paid plan and no advertising.

Not affiliated with PADI or AI providers

MCP for PADI is an independent open-source project. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or any other AI provider. PADI is a registered trademark of PADI Worldwide Corp. MCP for PADI uses no PADI artwork or logos. Other product names belong to their owners.

Your account

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• Use an email address that is yours, and keep your password for MCP for PADI secret. Do not share your account. You are responsible for what happens with it.
• New accounts may need the administrator's approval or an invite code. Nobody has a right to an account.

Your PADI account

You connect your own PADI account by signing in with its e-mail address and password. Only connect a PADI account that is yours. The terms of PADI still apply to you. PADI offers no public interface for this: MCP for PADI uses the same interface as the PADI website, so it can stop working, or work differently, when PADI changes it.

What your AI apps do

The AI apps you connect act for you. They can read your logbook and certifications and, unless you turn on read-only mode, add, change and delete dives, change the units of your logbook, and send dives to a PADI Pro for verification. AI apps make mistakes, for example in a depth, a date or a unit.

You decide which apps you connect and what you ask them to do, and you are responsible for the result. Check important actions before you confirm them, and check your logbook on the PADI website. If your apps should only read, turn on read-only mode on the PADI account page. You can revoke an app's access at any time on the Connected apps page.

Acceptable use

When you use MCP for PADI, do not:

• log dives you did not make, or send false or unwanted verification requests to PADI Pros
• break the law, the terms of PADI or the rights of others
• reach accounts or data that you are not allowed to use
• overload or attack the service, or get around its limits or its security

If you find a security problem, please report it to marco@visin.ch instead of using it.

Free, and without guarantees

The service is free and provided as it is. We do our best to keep it running and secure, but we cannot promise that it is always available, free of errors or right for your purpose. We may change, limit or stop the service, or parts of it, at any time. If we stop it, we will try to announce it on this site in advance.

What the administrator can do

The administrator can approve or reject access requests, disable, enable and delete accounts, reset passwords, end app connections and change the server settings, for example turn on read-only mode for everyone. The administrator does this, for example, when these terms are broken, when an account seems to be in the wrong hands, or to protect the service and its users.

Ending your use

You can stop at any time: delete your account on the Security page, and your data is deleted as described in the privacy policy. We may suspend or delete your account if you break these terms, or when the service ends.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Marco Visin is not liable for any damage caused by using MCP for PADI or by not being able to use it. This includes lost, changed or deleted dives, wrong values in your logbook, verification requests that your AI apps send, and lost data. This does not limit liability for intent or gross negligence, or any other liability that the law does not allow to exclude.

Privacy

The privacy policy explains what data MCP for PADI stores, why, and for how long.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, for example when the service changes. The date at the top shows the last change. If you keep using MCP for PADI after a change, the new terms apply. If you do not agree with them, you can delete your account.

Applicable law

These terms are governed by Swiss law. The courts of Switzerland have jurisdiction, unless mandatory law says otherwise. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.
