Available tools 3

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

court

get_court

Everything the directory holds about one venue: courts, surfaces, floodlights, indoor season, accessibility, reservation programmes, coordinates, and the source each fact was read from. Takes the slug returned by find_courts.

courts

find_courts

Search the directory of places to play tennis in New York City. Filter by borough, by how you get on a court (walk_on, reservation, private_club), by indoor play, by floodlights, or by minimum court count. Returns each venue with its page URL.

how

how_to_play_tennis_in_nyc

Start here 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 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_courts, get_court, how_to_play_tennis_in_nyc. 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 2 of 92 checks got a reply (2.2%), average response time 340 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 with the file path 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 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Nyc Tennis Courts?

It answers our handshake in 340 ms on average, which is faster than 48% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
