MCP server metadata
- Name
- Yenta Directory
- Version
- 0.1.0
Yenta directory: find published venues, cities and destinations and act on them BY NAME — no reconnect. Every result is partner-approved and versioned with a `source` freshness reference. search_venues / search_destinations find one; the venue_* / destination_* tools then read a named venue or destination directly (pass a slug if ambiguous). Live results also carry an `mcp_endpoint` (under venues.dev.yentaknows.ai); connect there only to transact, e.g. booking. Read-only; no auth. Powered by Yenta.

search_venuesSearch published venues by name or description, optionally filtered by city, cuisine, price band, neighbourhood, whether the venue takes reservations, proximity (near a lat/long within a radius, nearest first) and opening hours (open on a given day/time, or open now) — all HARD filters that exclude on a miss, plus a HARD experiential-facet filter (facets, '<facet_type>:<value>' tokens from facet_vocabulary) — with prefer_cuisine, prefer_neighbourhood, avoid and prefer_facets as SOFT preferences that only rank a venue up or down and never drop it; each result carries the venue's capabilities and, when it is live, its mcp_endpoint.
Potential side effectsget_venueGet one published venue's summary, capabilities and live mcp_endpoint by its slug.
Inferred read-onlyget_venuesGet several published venues' summaries in ONE call by their slugs — the batch counterpart to get_venue, so a shortlist from search_venues needs no per-slug round-trip; the base view (identity, essentials, capabilities, booking, mcp_endpoint) is always returned, while include opts into heavier per-venue reads — hours, dietary (dietary-tag/allergen vocabulary), attributes (facets) and menu_summary — with items coming back in the requested order (a repeated slug resolves once) and not_found listing any requested slug that did not resolve to a published venue.
Inferred read-onlysearch_destinationsSearch published travel destinations by name; omit the query to list all, and connect to each result's mcp_endpoint for its listings, events and guides.
Inferred read-onlysearchSearch published venues and destinations together in one call, each result tagged with its kind (venue or destination); pass kind to scope to one type, query to match names and venue descriptions, and city to narrow venues, then use search_venues or search_destinations for type-specific filters such as cuisine, hours or area.
Inferred read-onlyget_destinationGet one published destination's summary and live mcp_endpoint by its slug.
Inferred read-onlysearch_menusSearch menu items across all published venues by text, city, required dietary tags and allergens to avoid, each result tagged with its venue so an agent can rank venues in one call.
Inferred read-onlyfacet_vocabularyThe closed facet vocabulary (vibe, cuisine, dietary, and more) plus today's live cuisine, price_band and neighbourhood values across published venues, the exact values search_venues' matching filters accept.
Inferred read-onlyvenue_profileGet a named venue's published profile summary — give its name (and city) or slug.
Inferred read-onlyvenue_menu_searchSearch a named venue's menu by text, required dietary tags and allergens to avoid; call venue_dietary_options first for the exact spellings.
Inferred read-onlyvenue_dietary_optionsList a named venue's declared dietary tags and allergens — the exact spellings venue_menu_search matches literally.
Inferred read-onlyvenue_linksGet a named venue's published booking and other links (connect to its mcp_endpoint to actually book).
Inferred read-onlydestination_overviewGet a named destination's summary: counts by category, currency, timezone.
Inferred read-onlydestination_facetsList a named destination's valid area, category and tag filter values.
Inferred read-onlydestination_listingsSearch a named destination's listings by text, category, area and tags (slugs from destination_facets); optionally near another listing.
Inferred read-onlydestination_listingGet one listing's full detail by its id, including a live linked venue's mcp_endpoint and linked_venue_slug to read or book it via the venue_* tools.
Inferred read-onlydestination_eventsFind a named destination's events overlapping a date window (default from today; a recurring event's span is not a single date — read its recurrence).
Inferred read-onlydestination_guideRead a named destination's editorial guides such as weather, getting here and safety.
