Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

European mountain routes, huts, access and forecasts with sources and explicit unknowns.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_route_briefs

    Compare up to six known routes in one compact evidence packet: grade, timing conflicts, selected equipment, linked huts, access, notices and optional dated daylight. Preserves per-route errors and source provenance. Partial results must not be treated as complete; no booking, liv

  • get_capabilities

    Inspect actual catalogue coverage, output JSON schemas, data version, units and unsupported operations before planning. Unknown data is not evidence of absence.

  • get_notices

    Read dated notices with publication validity, explicit scope uncertainty and recurrence hints. Supply slug and the trip date; omitted date means today (UTC), echoed in requestedDate. Expired notices may describe recurring regulations; expiry is not evidence that access is open. V

  • resolve_peak

    Resolve a canonical peak ID, external Wikidata/OSM ID, current slug or exact name to its current slug and citable URL. Example input: {"id":"Ben Nevis"}. Use canonical IDs to recover from renamed slugs.

  • get_changes

    Compare a watched set of peaks with a previous snapshot. Returns content changes, removals and an updated snapshot. No changes means no new source data, not proof that conditions are unchanged. Date-dependent notice status must still be checked.

  • get_daylight

    Compute sunrise, sunset and civil twilight for the exact calendar date and IANA zone. UTC instants handle daylight saving and polar days. Terrain and weather can reduce usable daylight.

  • search

    Search peaks.fyi by mountain name, alternative name, country, range or climbing request. Returns citable peak IDs and URLs. Use fetch to read a result; use search_peaks for explicit filters and pagination. An empty result means no match in this catalogue, not that the mountain do

  • fetch

    Read a peak search result by catalogue slug as a citable text document. Example input: {"id":"ben-nevis"}. This retrieves catalogue documents, not external website URLs; use your own browsing tool for publisher pages. Includes routes, season, access, hazards, huts, notices and pr

  • get_peak

    Get compact peak facts and route IDs. Example input: {"slug":"ben-nevis"}. Optionally request access, huts, seasons, hazards or provenance sections. For fact questions search may already suffice. For current weather use get_weather; for hut booking information use get_huts. Resea

  • get_route

    Get one route by peak slug and routeId from get_peak: grade, equipment, key passages, stages, trailhead, timing, confidence and geometry QA. Failed, truncated or outline geometry must not be used for navigation. Times are estimates. No live route safety or opening guarantee.

  • get_route_point

    Look up a named waypoint or difficult passage on a route. Returns source notes, known coordinates, nearby stage names, key passages and relevant equipment. Missing coordinates or conditions remain unknown; this is not live navigation guidance.

  • get_huts

    Read huts, documented seasonal operation, source years and booking/contact URLs for a peak. Beds means capacity, never vacancies. Live availability, reservations, rental inventory and current opening status are unknown. Do not infer next year's opening dates from a dated season;

  • search_routes

    Find routes satisfying all supplied constraints on the SAME route, including difficulty, glacier travel, style and computed round-trip hours. Unknown glacier status is excluded by glacier filters. Searches all candidate peaks; use nextCursor until null for complete results. Coord

  • get_weather

    Get published weather for a peak and optional summit/hut/trailhead target. Set targetId and start/end for a bounded planning response; unfiltered forecasts can be large. Point samples are separate from accumulated rain/snow intervals and complete-window totals. Check target cover

  • search_peaks

    Find and compare mountains with explicit country, elevation, season, difficulty and glacier filters. All filters are hard constraints; never silently relaxed. Returns compact peak summaries, IDs, total and nextOffset. Read get_peak and get_route before recommending a route: peak-

Common questions

Is peaks.fyi — Mountain Routes, Huts & Weather safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (3.1.0) reached the registry 9 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
