Available tools 7

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

suggest
suggest_listing
Tell My Noticeboard about one local community group, service, event or useful leaflet, citing the public page that announces it (source_url). A curator checks it against that page before anything is published. Community-led and voluntary activity, charities and public services only; not businesses. Give no individual’s own phone or email. Needs an API key. Returns a receipt; a retry with the same idempotency_key returns the same receipt.
suggest_source
Tell My Noticeboard where local community activity is announced: the address of a group’s own website, a parish, library or venue programme, or an iCal feed. We read the page ourselves; nothing is published on your word. Community-led and voluntary activity only. Needs an API key. Returns a receipt; repeat a call with the same idempotency_key to get the same receipt.
categories
list_categories
The topics (themes and the needs under them) used to tag listings. Codes work as the topic for get_resource_sheet.
resource
get_resource_sheet
A ready-made set of the best local, area-wide and national services plus resources for one topic, as a link worker would print.
service
get_service
Full details for one service: description, how to get help, contacts, opening times, address and when it was last checked.
services
search_services
Find community groups, charities and support services by need and place. Returns ranked listings with distance and when each was last checked. Search reach is a discovery hint, not proof of catchment or eligibility.
whats
get_whats_on
Sessions and activities happening at a time and place. Accepts a plain-English question such as "what can I do today in Bridport?" or "what's on next week for housebound people?". Cancelled dates are included and marked.

My Noticeboard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can My Noticeboard do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_resource_sheet, get_service, get_whats_on, list_categories, search_services, suggest_listing and 1 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 My Noticeboard 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 216 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect My Noticeboard?
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 My Noticeboard need an API key?
No. My Noticeboard completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is My Noticeboard?
It answers our handshake in 216 ms on average, which is faster than 62% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
