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.

alert

create_alert

Set up an email alert for the user: LayUp watches for NEW matching slots (e.g. a cancellation freeing up a peak court) and emails them when one appears. Use when the user can't find a slot now and wants to be notified, or asks to 'monitor'/'watch'/'let me know when'. Requires their email. A confirmation email is sent first — the user must click confirm before any alerts fire (so always tell them to check their inbox). LayUp does the watching; the notification arrives by email, not in this chat.

slots

search_slots

Search bookable sports slots in London across every provider LayUp aggregates. Use when a user wants to find a court, pitch, lane, class or pickup game for football, tennis, squash, padel or swimming. Filter by sport, area/borough, date range, time of day and max price. Returns upcoming slots with venue, London-local time, price, provider and a booking link. Times default to the next 7 days.

sports

list_sports

List the sports LayUp covers with a count of slots available in the next 7 days. Useful as a quick overview before a more specific search.

venue

get_venue

List upcoming bookable slots at a single venue, identified by its venue_slug (as returned by search_slots). Use to drill into one venue after a search.

LayUp Sports Booking — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can LayUp Sports Booking do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_alert, get_venue, list_sports, search_slots. 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 LayUp Sports Booking working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 22 of 91 checks got a reply (24.2%), average response time 652 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is LayUp Sports Booking still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists LayUp Sports Booking 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 LayUp Sports Booking?

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 LayUp Sports Booking need an API key?

No. LayUp Sports Booking 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 LayUp Sports Booking?

It answers our handshake in 652 ms on average, which is faster than 20% 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.
