Available tools 4

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

activity
get_activity_details
Get one activity using an ID returned by search. Includes dated sources, uncertainty and optional disclosed external attraction-admission referrals. No live inventory, reservations, payment or paid digital products.
compare
compare_family_options
Compare 2-4 IDs returned by search in the same city. Preserve failed and unknown constraints; do not present unknown facts as confirmed. Published admission subtotals are not checkout quotes.
family
search_family_activities
Search family records for Denver, San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, Washington DC, New York City or Boston. Cities other than Denver and San Diego cover venues with official-page verified fields only. Use query for a named venue (for example Midway) instead of loading every result. Ask for adult count and every child age before a budget or age-fit request. Budget is USD admission only, never total outing cost. Unknown hard constraints are excluded. Follow next_offset for pagination.
plan
plan_family_outing
Recommend one outing and a distinct sheltered backup when evidence and constraints allow. Requires complete party. Filters remain strict; editorial suitability must fit every child. visit_date records intent only: opening, reservations and availability remain unverified. No travel-time or whole-outing-budget support. Return shortages honestly. No booking is performed.

KidPaths Family Outings — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can KidPaths Family Outings do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_family_options, get_activity_details, plan_family_outing, search_family_activities. 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 KidPaths Family Outings working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 8 of 91 checks got a reply (8.8%), average response time 862 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists KidPaths Family Outings 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 KidPaths Family Outings?
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 KidPaths Family Outings need an API key?
No. KidPaths Family Outings 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.
How fast is KidPaths Family Outings?
It answers our handshake in 862 ms on average, which is faster than 7% 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.
