Today is the operative word: we check NUM 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 5

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

num

num_get_place

Full record for one place, by the place_id that num_search_places returned. Each call counts against the daily read quota.

num_list_submissions

Lists the businesses and promotions this account has submitted, with the reviewer's decision on each. Free and unmetered.

num_search_places

Search NUM's travel directory: more than 2.5 million places — restaurants, bars, hotels, spas, tours and shops, deepest in Thailand and the UK. Requires at least one of q, city, country or category. Returns name, category, address, phone, website, coordinates and whether the owner has claimed the listing. Each call counts against the daily read quota.

num_submit_business

Submit a business to NUM for review. Free and unmetered. A person at 5arz reviews every submission before any traveller sees it, so the result is status 'pending_review', never an immediate listing. 'relationship' records whether the submitter owns the business, was engaged by the owner, or is a third party; reviewers verify it. Contact details must be ones the business has published — submissions with guessed or derived contact details are rejected. Re-sending the same external_ref updates the pending submission instead of creating a duplicate.

num_submit_promo

Attach a promotion, special, event or ad to a business previously submitted by the same account. Free and unmetered. A person reviews it before it is shown to anyone. Re-sending the same promo_ref updates the pending promotion instead of creating a duplicate.

NUM — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can NUM do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: num_get_place, num_list_submissions, num_search_places, num_submit_business, num_submit_promo. 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 NUM 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 119 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect NUM?

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 NUM need an API key?

No. NUM completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is NUM?

It answers our handshake in 119 ms on average, which is faster than 81% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is NUM 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.
