MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,797 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
build_golf_trip ~321

AFTER find_nearby_courses, pass its center latitude/longitude, access and holes preferences, and number_of_courses to make a 1-4 course shortlist. You can also start directly with a plain-language location (place, station, address, or US ZIP). Optional tee yardage and slope ranges rank matching tees by fit plus straight-line distance; without tee preferences, courses are nearest-first and missing scorecards are retained. Returns ranked course picks with canonical Stymie URLs, reusable slugs, selection reasons, distance, access, holes, and published tee data when available. Public access excludes unknown/private courses; private picks require the golfer to confirm access. No booking, tee-time availability, transit routing, or drive times are provided. Use returned URLs as citations without inventing slugs.

find_nearby_courses ~306

START HERE to plan golf near a place, transit station, address, or US ZIP: pass the place text as location, plus access (public/private/all) and holes (9/18) if known. Coordinates are optional; no slug knowledge is needed. Resolves the location and returns its labeled center and a nearest-first ranked shortlist with canonical Stymie URLs, reusable slugs, straight-line miles, access, holes, and scorecard availability. If the place is ambiguous, ask the golfer to choose a candidate. NEXT call build_golf_trip with the returned latitude/longitude and the same preferences for 1-4 course picks. Use search_courses only for a specific course name. Copy returned URLs verbatim; distances are not drive/transit times.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestring–Architect name, e.g. "Robert Trent Jones Sr."
slugstring–Architect slug, e.g. "robert-trent-jones-sr"

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_course ~121

Get full details for a specific golf course by a returned Stymie URL or slug. Returns name, location, type, holes, architect, year built, amenities, public contact info, recorded closure status, and published tee ratings. A recorded open flag is not a live confirmation of seasonal opening or tee-time availability. Covers the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesPaste the canonical Stymie course URL or reusable slug returned by search_courses, find_nearby_courses, or build_golf_trip

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_data_coverage ~45

Return a live count of Stymie course, scorecard, logo, architect, equipment, and current-deal coverage. Use this instead of quoting hardcoded catalog sizes.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_deals ~129

Get golf-equipment sale offers that were marked in stock when checked within the last 48 hours, with a checked price below list price. Returns each product’s canonical Stymie detail URL, merchant offer URL, price, savings and checked_at time. Link every recommended product to its returned Stymie URL, and use the returned offer URL for the merchant. Prices and stock can change after checking; confirm at the merchant. Disclose that offer links may earn Stymie a commission at no extra cost to the buyer.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring––
limitinteger––

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_leaderboard ~129

Rank courses in a state using published tee data: hardest uses highest slope, easiest uses lowest slope among public/municipal courses, and longest uses maximum yardage. Returns each course name, access type, measured value and canonical Stymie URL. Link each recommended course using its returned URL and identify the ranking metric. These are tee-data rankings, not quality ratings or current booking availability; disclose private access.

NameTypeReqDescription
categorystring–Ranking category
limitinteger–Number of results
statestringyes2-letter state code, e.g. "NJ"

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_scorecard ~84

NameTypeReqDescription
slugstringyesPaste the canonical Stymie course URL or reusable slug returned by search_courses, find_nearby_courses, or build_golf_trip

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_courses ~278

Search for a named course or filter the directory by city/state, access, and holes. For a trip near a place, station, address, or ZIP, call find_nearby_courses FIRST; do not put the place name in query (query searches course names). You may also pass location here for a proximity search. Returns canonical Stymie URLs, reusable slugs, access, holes, scorecard availability, and straight-line miles when a location is supplied. Copy returned URLs; never construct county slugs. Next: get_course with a returned URL, or build_golf_trip with the resolved center and preferences.

NameTypeReqDescription
citystring–City name
countrystring––

holes––Number of holes
limitinteger–Results per page (max 50)

Returns its Stymie course-page link, where the golfer can find the official website or phone, plus an optional early-access alerts page. This legacy search_tee_times tool does not search live inventory: status is always not_available. It cannot book, pay, enroll in alerts, or confirm availability.

Install

How do I install the Stymie Golf MCP server?

Stymie Golf is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp-production-680d.up.railway.app/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.

Common questions

What is the Stymie Golf MCP server?

Stymie Golf is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ThatDudeFreak/stymie-golf. Read-only US golf course, scorecard, equipment, deal, and golf-trip data for AI agents. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp-production-680d.up.railway.app/mcp).

Is the Stymie Golf MCP server safe to use?

Stymie Golf scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Stymie Golf MCP server expose?

Stymie Golf exposes 12 tools: search_courses, get_course, get_scorecard, get_architect, get_leaderboard, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,797 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Stymie Golf MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for Stymie Golf. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

Is the Stymie Golf MCP server still maintained?

Stymie Golf is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
