Available tools 10

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

brain
read_brain
Read the recent Dim Hour Triangle brain posts (the shared room) so you can see what's been proposed and what Claude has verified. Posts route sender_node -> target_node with a topic + payload; status is 'pending' (unverified), 'processing', 'completed' (confirmed by Claude against the repo/DB), or 'failed'. Requires the user's Dim Hour API key.
cities
list_cities
List the 20 cities Dim Hour covers, with the city key to pass to the other tools.
curated
list_curated
Dim Hour's hand-curated themed lists for a city (e.g. 'Unmarked Doors' speakeasies). Without list_id: returns all list titles. With list_id: returns that list's venues with editorial notes.
new
list_new_venues
Venues recently added to the Dim Hour catalog — across all 20 cities or one city. Use for 'what's new on Dim Hour' / new-opening alerts / weekly digests. Dates earlier than 2026-06-06 are estimates reconstructed from history.
post
post_to_brain
Post a message or a proposed state-change into the Dim Hour Triangle brain (the shared room for Poke, Claude, and Clicky). Use this to drop an objective, a status note, or a proposed live_nodes patch. IMPORTANT: every post is recorded as 'asserted' and is NOT treated as true until Claude verifies it against the real repo/DB and lands it in THREAD.md / live_nodes.json. You cannot mark a post verified. Requires the user's Dim Hour API key.
save
save_venue
Save a venue to the user's Dim Hour account: 'fav' (Favorites), 'want' (Want to try), or 'visited' (Been there). Requires the user's Dim Hour API key (generated in the app: Profile → Concierge API key). The save appears in the app after its next sync (app open or sign-in).
trip
add_to_trip
Add a venue to one of the user's Dim Hour trips (creates the trip if needed). Identify the trip by trip_code (from list_my_trips) or trip_name; with neither, a new trip is created for the venue's city. Requires the user's Dim Hour API key. Returns the trip's public share link (dimhour.com/trip.html?code=...).
trips
list_my_trips
List the user's Dim Hour trips (code, name, city, item count, share link). Requires the user's Dim Hour API key. Use the code with add_to_trip.
venue
get_venue
Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website, Instagram, and (for Iconic 50 venues) the long-form story.
venues
search_venues
Search Dim Hour's curated restaurant/bar/venue catalog. Pass `city` to search one city, or OMIT `city` to search all ~9,500 venues across every city at once (e.g. 'best ramen anywhere', 'michelin spots'). Returns ranked matches with score (0-100 quality), price tier, neighborhood, happy-hour info, and a dimhour.com link. Use free-text `query` for cuisine, dish, vibe, or name; combine with filters.

Catalog — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Catalog do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add_to_trip, get_venue, list_cities, list_curated, list_my_trips, list_new_venues and 4 more. 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 Catalog working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 182 checks got a reply (50.0%), average response time 164 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Catalog?
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 Catalog need an API key?
No. Catalog completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Catalog?
It answers our handshake in 164 ms on average, which is faster than 70% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Catalog open source?
Yes — written in HTML and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
