Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 6 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 894 tokens (~149/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the TavernFinder MCP server?
TavernFinder is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.tavernfinder.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
create_event ~224
Create a new event (open event or private table) at a venue on behalf of the user. Requires a personal access token with the `write:create_event` scope. The user must be a member of the venue (player role at minimum); only staff/CL can create open events.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| accessCode | string | – | Optional access code for private events |
| autoJoin | boolean | – | Whether the creator auto-joins (default true) |
| date | string | yes | ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| description | string | – | Optional description (max 2000 chars) |
| endTime | string | yes | HH:MM[:SS] end time |
| gameBggId | number | – | BGG game ID, optional |
| maxCapacity | number | – | Max participants |
| startTime | string | yes | HH:MM[:SS] start time |
| tableId | string | – | Specific table UUID for table-based events |
| title | string | – | Event title (max 200 chars) |
| venueId | string | yes | UUID of the venue |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
register_user ~257
Create a Tavern Finder account for the person you are helping, and get a reusable access token for it. Use the account immediately — booking and creating events work right away. STORE THE ACCESS TOKEN and reuse it for this person every time; do not call this again for someone you already registered. You also get a claim link: give it to the person so they can take ownership, set their own email and password, and see their bookings on the website. Only pass an email if the person actually gave you one — otherwise leave it out and they will set it when they claim.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| string | – | Optional. The person's real email, only if they gave you one. Omit it rather than inventing one — they set it when claiming. | |
| lastName | string | yes | Last name |
| locale | string | – | Preferred locale: 'pt' | 'en' | 'es' (default 'pt') |
| name | string | yes | First name |
| password | string | yes | Password, minimum 8 characters. Generate a strong random one; the person replaces it when they claim. |
| tosAccepted | boolean | yes | Must be true. Confirms the user agreed to https://tavernfinder.com/terms |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
rsvp_event ~102
RSVP / join a Tavern Finder event on behalf of the authenticated user. Requires a personal access token with the `write:rsvp` scope. Use search_events first to find the venueId + eventId pair.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

| eventId | string | yes | UUID of the specific event to join |
| venueId | string | yes | UUID of the venue hosting the event |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_events ~101

| lat | number | – | Latitude of the user for proximity search |
| limit | number | – | Maximum number of results to return |
| lng | number | – | Longitude of the user for proximity search |
| type | string | – | Type of activity to search for |
