Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Curated UK running routes — search, recommend and find trail, road and parkrun runs.

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 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • recommend_route

    Recommend a UK running route that fits the runner. Use this when a user describes who they are and what they want — e.g. 'I'm a trail runner near Ambleside, 15k, avoid roads, something scenic and not too technical'. Returns a ranked shortlist with reasoning-friendly fields (surfa

  • search_routes

    Search Skamper's curated UK running-route database when the user gives concrete filters — name, location (lat/lng), distance range, max ascent, paved surface %, course shape, or national park. Returns up to 20 compact route summaries with canonical URLs. If the user instead descr

  • get_route

    Fetch the full details for a single Skamper route by its slug. Returns title, location, distance, ascent, surface, course shape, description, reviews, and the canonical page URL. A free Skamper account is required to download the GPX file from the page.

  • find_5k

    Find Skamper running routes close to 5 km (parkrun distance) near a location. Returns the nearest routes between 4.5 and 5.5 km. Great for runners asking 'a 5k near me'.

  • list_national_parks

    List the UK National Parks Skamper covers, with route counts and slugs. Use the slug with routes_in_national_park or search_routes (national_park=...).

  • routes_in_national_park

    List running routes inside a UK National Park. Pass the park slug (use list_national_parks to discover slugs).

  • browse_runlists

    Browse Skamper run lists — curated collections of routes (e.g. 'Best UK trail half-marathons'). Returns Skamper's editorial picks and the most recent public user-created lists. Use get_runlist to see the routes inside one.

  • get_runlist

    Fetch a Skamper run list by slug. Returns the list metadata and the ordered routes inside.

Common questions

Is Skamper safe?

It passed 2 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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 3 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?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa
