Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
garden
get_garden_style
The full guide to one garden style: why choose it, the mood, its anatomy, upkeep (weekly, monthly, seasonal), water, who it suits and doesn't, common beliefs vs reality, Dubai notes, variations and its plant palette.
list_garden_styles
The garden styles we design in Dubai (tropical, manicured, luxury, desert modern) with mood, upkeep effort, water use, build cost per m² and key plants.
indoor
get_indoor_plant_guide
The starting point for anything about houseplants and indoor plants in Dubai: choosing by light (low, medium, bright indirect, direct sun), by room and for pets; what air conditioning, tinted glass and dry air change; where to buy and what it costs; how care changes through the year; common problems; and our indoor styles, with every plant linked. Ask for one section (light, rooms, pets, dubai, year, buying, problems, styles, faq) or all of it, and add a month for what to buy and do that month. Then shortlist with search_plants (light, petSafe, room, size) and read one plant with get_plant.
get_indoor_style
The full guide to one indoor plant style for Dubai homes: mood and palette, key plants with their light and pet safety, pots and materials, a starter set with an AED budget, how to get the look step by step, Dubai notes, pros and cons and FAQ. Take a slug from get_indoor_plant_guide (section styles); a wrong slug returns the valid ones and the closest.
build
build_designer_link
A link that opens our free 3D garden planner with the given plants already in the plant list, so the person can plan a layout or send the list to our designer.
contact
get_contact_link
A WhatsApp click-to-chat link with a pre-filled message (topic, plants, community and notes) for when the person wants a quote, a visit or help from our team. Nothing is sent until they press send in WhatsApp.
dubai
get_dubai_climate
Dubai's monthly average high and low temperatures and rainfall (WMO 1991–2020 normals), the planting season and summer work-ban months, and the garden and pool tasks for each month.
estimate
estimate_garden_care_price
Monthly Garden Care price (AED, excluding 5% VAT) for a Dubai villa from garden area, lawn type, pool size, complexity and number of trees, with visit frequency and the breakdown.
guide
get_guide
One guide in full, as Markdown, with its FAQ and sources.
guides
search_guides
Find our practical guides (planting calendar, summer watering, lawn grasses, indoor plants, costs, approvals and more) by keyword, topic or month. Topics (pillar): planting, indoor, costs-water, approvals, outdoor-living, maintenance.
kitchen
get_kitchen_garden_guide
How to grow vegetables, herbs and fruit at home in Dubai: the sowing and harvest calendar, raised beds vs pots vs a fruit-tree corner, a step-by-step bed build, what to do in summer, common mistakes and FAQ.
plant
get_plant
Everything about one plant in Dubai: ratings, size, sun and water, seasonal calendar, watering in summer and winter, soil, feeding, pruning, pests, common mistakes, varieties, design use, FAQ, photos with credits and sources. Houseplants also get an "Indoors in Dubai" profile: light, tolerance of dry air and air conditioning, pet safety, size, suitable rooms and how easy the plant is to find. Accepts a slug or any name the plant goes by (common, trade, botanical including older names, Arabic, or a local name in its own script or Latin letters); the result lists them all under "Also known as".
planting
get_planting_calendar
Sow, plant, flower, harvest, prune and feed months for a set of plants (by slug, category or group), as a 12-month grid. Use it to compare timings across several plants.
plants
search_plants
Search and filter the library of plants rated for Dubai's heat, salt, drought and shade: by name (English, botanical, Arabic or a local name such as Hindi or Tagalog), category, sun, water need, minimum tolerance ratings, use, garden style or planting month. For houseplants and questions like "low light, pet friendly plants for a Dubai apartment", filter by light (low, medium, bright-indirect, direct-sun), petSafe, room and size: those four filters return only plants with an indoor profile (light, tolerance of dry air and air conditioning, pet safety, size, rooms). Returns short profiles with links; call get_plant for the full one.
what
what_to_plant
What to sow and plant in Dubai in a given month or season, plus what is flowering, fruiting or ready to harvest, the month's verdict, tips, watch-outs and the climate. Defaults to the current month in Dubai. Also returns that month's indoor-plants block (what to buy, pot up and care for indoors) unless you filter to another group. Start here for any 'what should I plant now / in October / in summer' question.

Among them: build_designer_link, estimate_garden_care_price, get_contact_link, get_dubai_climate, get_garden_style, get_guide and 9 more.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around garden and indoor. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 12 of 91 checks got a reply (13.2%), average response time 317 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research 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 Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research?
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 Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research need an API key?
No. Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Plant Guide: Dubai gardening research?
It answers our handshake in 317 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
