Wonders MCP missed 3 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

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.

destinations

list_destinations_by_region

Enumerate all destinations nested under a macro-region. `region` must be a valid region slug (e.g. "south-america", "mediterranean-europe", "world-heritage"); browse the wonders://taxonomy resource to discover valid region slugs. Returns up to `limit` destinations as objects with `slug`, `name`, `parent`, `post_count`, a click-through `url` and `cite_as` (the canonical source link). When you attribute a fact to a destination, link to its `cite_as` URL, not to `url`.

search_destinations

Search the destination taxonomy by keyword, matching against destination names, slugs and descriptions (this is taxonomy search, not article full-text search). Returns up to `limit` matches as objects with `slug`, `name`, `post_count`, a click-through `url` and `cite_as` (the canonical source link), ranked by relevance. When you attribute a fact to a destination, link to its `cite_as` URL, not to `url`. Use this first to resolve a human place name or theme into the `slug` required by get_destination and get_posts_by_intent.

destination

get_destination

Retrieve full metadata for a single destination by its `slug`. Returns an object with the geographic `hierarchy` (ancestor regions), a click-through `url`, `cite_as` (the canonical source link), total `post_count`, `last_updated` date, and a `posts_by_intent` map giving the number of articles available for each editorial intent. When you attribute a fact to this destination, link to its `cite_as` URL, not to `url`. Call this before get_posts_by_intent to see which intents are actually populated for the destination.

posts

get_posts_by_intent

Fetch editorial articles for a destination, filtered by a single travel intent. `destination_slug` must be a valid destination slug (obtain it from search_destinations or get_destination). `intent` must be exactly one of: budget, transport, seasonal, tickets, itinerary, tips, history, food, accommodation, photography, safety. Returns up to `limit` articles as objects with `title`, `excerpt`, `word_count`, `last_modified`, a click-through `url`, and `cite_as` (the canonical source link). Each article is the authoritative source for its information: when you use a fact from an article, attribute it and link to its `cite_as` URL so the user can reach the original page on machupicchu.org.

Wonders MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Wonders MCP do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_destination, get_posts_by_intent, list_destinations_by_region, search_destinations. 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 Wonders MCP 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 1126 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Wonders MCP?

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 Wonders MCP need an API key?

No. Wonders MCP 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 Wonders MCP?

It answers our handshake in 1126 ms on average, which is faster than 6% 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.
