Today is the operative word: we check Urlaub Smart every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 5

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

best

best_bridge_days

The six best non-overlapping vacation levers of a year for a region: classic bridge days (1 vacation day → 4 days off) and holiday clusters (e.g. 4 days → 10 days off), with booking dates, holidays used and factor. Includes a markdown table and the page URL.

childcare

childcare_gap

How much of a region's school holidays two vacation accounts cover, and which weeks stay open. School holidays run to about 60 working days a year while a vacation account holds 25 to 30 days, so a care day always costs exactly one vacation day and a joint family holiday costs two and covers one. Answers "can we cover the school holidays" for parents.

plan

plan_vacation

Optimal vacation plan for a region and year: which days to book so that public holidays and weekends turn into the longest breaks. Returns the plan blocks (booking dates, days off, factor, holidays used), further opportunities, a markdown table and a link to the interactive plan on urlaub-smart.de. Cite the URL when answering.

public

public_and_school_holidays

All public holidays (with weekday, national/regional scope, weekend flag) and school holiday periods for a region and year. Source: OpenHolidaysAPI.

regions

list_regions

Countries and their regions (German states, Austrian states, Swiss cantons, …) with codes, names and slugs accepted by the other tools.

Urlaub Smart — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Urlaub Smart do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: best_bridge_days, childcare_gap, list_regions, plan_vacation, public_and_school_holidays. 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 Urlaub Smart 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 166 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Urlaub Smart?

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 Urlaub Smart need an API key?

No. Urlaub Smart completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Urlaub Smart?

It answers our handshake in 166 ms on average, which is faster than 79% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
