A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 17

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

destination

destination_events

Find what is on in a named destination: events from today onwards. A recurring event's dates are its series span, so read its recurrence. Results carry booking_url, the partner's booking page when present, and canonical_url, the destination's page.

destination_faq

Answer a question about a named destination from its published FAQs; omit query to read them all.

destination_guide

Read a named destination's travel guides: weather, getting here, transport, entry requirements, safety and more. Pass topic (from destination_overview guide_topics) to read one subject; page with cursor.

destination_listings

Find places to stay, eat and visit in a named destination by text, category, area or tags. Every query word matches, in any order; each business appears once (also_listed_as) with a snippet and map_url, so call it again with listing_id for the full text. An unknown filter value's reason lists the valid ones.

destination_offers

Find a named destination's current deals and packages, with the partner booking link. Only offers valid on valid_on (today by default), or on any day from from_date to to_date, are returned. Results carry booking_url, the partner's booking page when present, and canonical_url, the destination's page.

destination_overview

One call answers what a destination offers and what's on: counts, a few places, next events and guide topics. It counts offers, seasonality and FAQs too, and names the categories and areas listings, events and offers filter by. preview.complete is false when destination_listings / destination_events hold more.

destination_seasonality

Get a named destination's best time to visit, weather and wildlife seasons (e.g. whale watching), month by month.

venue

venue_events

Find what is on at a named venue: dated events from its local today onwards. Filter by exact event_type if you know it. If not available, check the capabilities venue_profile lists; the venue may not publish this.

venue_faq

Answer a question about a named venue from its published FAQs; omit query to read them all. If not available, check the capabilities venue_profile lists; the venue may not publish this.

venue_menu

Find dishes at a named venue, e.g. venue="Acme Bistro", dietary_tags=["vegan"], allergens=["milk"]. Filter by text, tags, allergens or max_price; unfiltered, item lists its dietary tags, example dishes and allergen counts. If not available, check the capabilities venue_profile lists; the venue may not publish this.

venue_profile

Get a venue's hours, address, map, phone, booking and links by name or slug, e.g. venue="Acme Bistro". It also holds cuisine, attributes, menu_summary and capabilities (the other venue_* tools that answer for it); hours_summary is ready to quote.

cities

list_cities

List the cities that have published restaurants and bars. A city can also be a travel destination, such as Los Cabos: search_venues finds its venues, and destination_overview and destination_listings read the destination's own board.

fetch

fetch

Read a search result's full page: a restaurant's menu, dietary options, hours and events, or a destination's. Returns Markdown text with its citable url. Ids look like "venue:acme-bistro", "venue:acme-bistro:menu", "destination:los-cabos" or "listing:los-cabos:1234".

menus

search_menus

Find dishes across all venues by text, city, dietary tags or allergens to avoid. Each item is tagged with its venue, so one call compares venues; for one named venue use venue_menu.

search

Search venues, travel destinations and places inside destinations by name or keyword. Returns results of id, title and url; pass an id to fetch for the full page. For filters use search_venues, search_menus or destination_listings.

send

send_feedback

Send Yenta a report: data that is missing or looks wrong, a tool that was hard to use, or anything else. Stored for Yenta's team and never shown publicly; the answer carries a reference. Leave out personal details.

venues

search_venues

Find restaurants and bars by city, cuisine, opening time or features. Filters are HARD, prefer_* and avoid are SOFT (rank only), and query is a name, a keyword or a short description. Each result has slug, capabilities, open_now and distance_km; a destination city's venues are here, its listings in destination_listings.

Yenta Directory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Yenta Directory do?

It exposes 17 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: destination_events, destination_faq, destination_guide, destination_listings, destination_offers, destination_overview and 11 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 →

What is Yenta Directory mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around destination and venue. 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 Yenta Directory working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1063 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Yenta Directory ever remove tools?

Yes. destination_facets, destination_listing, facet_vocabulary, get_destination and 6 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

Is Yenta Directory 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.

How do I connect Yenta Directory?

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 Yenta Directory need an API key?

No. Yenta Directory completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 17 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Yenta Directory?

It answers our handshake in 1063 ms on average, which is faster than 3% 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.
