Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check IndiaRestros 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 8

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

about
about_dataset
Counts, sources, top cities, how ranking works and how to read confidence.
dishes
search_dishes
Find specific dishes on restaurant menus across India: item name, price in INR, veg/non-veg, menu section, and the restaurant (name, area, url). E.g. q "paneer tikka" city "bengaluru" max_price 300 veg true, or "masala dosa in indiranagar". Covers restaurants whose menus we hold (growing daily); if nothing is found, fall back to search_restaurants with the dish words.
menu
get_menu
Menu sections and items with prices in INR and veg/non-veg marks, with the menu source and date. Null when no menu is on file.
place
get_place
A city (city:<slug>) or area (loc:<city>:<area>) with counts by kind and cuisine and its areas.

IndiaRestros — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can IndiaRestros do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: about_dataset, get_menu, get_place, get_restaurant, list_places, report_correction and 2 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 IndiaRestros working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 17 of 17 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 519 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect IndiaRestros?
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 IndiaRestros need an API key?
No. IndiaRestros completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is IndiaRestros?
It answers our handshake in 519 ms on average, which is faster than 24% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is IndiaRestros open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence 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.
