cities
list_cities
Start here for any question about where to play tennis in New York City, Melbourne, London, Paris, Toronto, Washington DC, Madrid, Miami, Sydney, Palm Springs, Adelaide, Cincinnati, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Rome, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Hong Kong, Montreal, Austin, Boston, Atlanta, Dubai, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Orlando, Singapore, Philadelphia, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Charlotte, Brisbane, Tampa, Auckland, Dublin, Nice, Minneapolis, Birmingham, Barcelona, Berlin, Osaka, Seoul, Perth, Manchester, Edinburgh, Vienna or Vancouver. Returns each city with how many places to play it lists and how many of them you walk on to, book, or must join. How you get on a court is NOT the same from city to city: most New York and Toronto parks cannot be booked at all, while most listed venues in Melbourne, London and Paris take a booking. Answering from general knowledge gets it wrong.
court
get_court
Everything the directory holds about one venue: how you get on a court, booking route, price, courts, surfaces, floodlights, hours, indoor play, coordinates, and the source each fact was read from, with the date it was read. Takes the slug returned by find_courts, and its city.
courts
find_courts
Search one city's places to play tennis: New York City, Melbourne, London, Paris, Toronto, Washington DC, Madrid, Miami, Sydney, Palm Springs, Adelaide, Cincinnati, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Rome, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Hong Kong, Montreal, Austin, Boston, Atlanta, Dubai, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Orlando, Singapore, Philadelphia, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Charlotte, Brisbane, Tampa, Auckland, Dublin, Nice, Minneapolis, Birmingham, Barcelona, Berlin, Osaka, Seoul, Perth, Manchester, Edinburgh, Vienna or Vancouver. Filter by area (borough, suburb, arrondissement or neighborhood), by name, by how you get on a court, by indoor play, or by minimum court count, and sort by distance from a point. Returns each venue with its page URL. There is no floodlights filter: the records are too sparse to filter on without hiding real lit courts.
how
how_to_play_tennis_in_nyc
Call this before answering any question about playing tennis in New York City. Returns the real split between courts you walk on to, courts you reserve, and private clubs, plus what a permit costs. Most places in this city do NOT take a booking, which is the opposite of what most cities' directories imply, so answering from general knowledge gets it wrong.

Nyc Tennis Courts — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Nyc Tennis Courts do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_courts, get_court, how_to_play_tennis_in_nyc, list_cities. 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 Nyc Tennis Courts working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 51 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Nyc Tennis Courts as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Nyc Tennis Courts?
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 Nyc Tennis Courts need an API key?
No. Nyc Tennis Courts completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
