Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Arcana every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

business

get_business_info

Start here. What Arcana is, its hours, location, and contact links, every part of what it offers, and links to each.

prepare

prepare_inquiry

Prepares a prefilled link for a private-event inquiry from whatever details are known. The person reviews the form and submits it.

private

get_private_event_offer

Returns Arcana qualitative private-event offerings and the inquiry form link.

reservation

get_reservation_options

Returns walk-in guidance and the public Resy reservation link.

submit

submit_inquiry

Sends a private-event inquiry to the Arcana booking team. Use only after the person has seen these details and asked you to send them. Requires first and last name, email, occasion, guest count, event date, start and end time, and one total budget amount in US dollars. Ask the person for anything missing. A reply goes to the email given.

upcoming

list_upcoming_events

Returns upcoming public events at Arcana as published on Resident Advisor and Luma, with a link to each listing. The list refreshes once a day, so the listing is the authority for tickets and changes.

Arcana — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Arcana do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_business_info, get_private_event_offer, get_reservation_options, list_upcoming_events, prepare_inquiry, submit_inquiry. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Arcana working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 303 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Arcana?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Arcana need an API key?

No. Arcana completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Arcana?

It answers our handshake in 303 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
