Kahve Tabela MCP — Türkiye's heritage, food, and coast

A public, read-only MCP server over Kahve Tabela, an independent open-data atlas of Türkiye: 32,330 cultural-heritage places, 4,106 regional dishes (1,679 of them carrying a TürkPatent geographical-indication registration), and the Mavi Koy coastal atlas.

Hosted — nothing to install, no key, no account.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as com.kahvetabela/public-read.

Connect

Any client that speaks the streamable HTTP transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kahvetabela": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kahvetabela.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or check it by hand:

curl -s https://kahvetabela.com/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_places`	Find heritage places by province, district, category, or free text
`get_place`	Fetch every field of a single place by id
`nearby_places`	Places around a coordinate by distance, optionally with the drive-mode audio note
`get_page_markdown`	Read a supported page as compact markdown instead of HTML
`search_dishes`	Search regional dishes, optionally limited to GI-registered ones
`get_dish`	Fetch one dish by slug, with its registration type and number
`search_mavi_koy`	Search the coastal atlas for coves, beaches, and shore points
`get_mavi_koy_place`	Fetch one coastal entry by slug

Every tool takes an optional lang of tr or en. Full input schemas come from the server's own tools/list — that is the authority, not this table.

What is actually in the data

Heritage — museums, archaeological sites, castles, mosques, churches, tombs, monuments; category, province, district, coordinates. 28,820 records carry a Wikidata identifier.
Yöre Sofrası — regional dishes; the GI-registered ones link to their official TürkPatent registry entry with registration type and number.
Mavi Koy — coves, beaches, and coastal points.

Public data only. No user accounts, no e-mail addresses, no moderation queue on this surface. Proximity-duplicate records are filtered out, so the server never returns an id that redirects.

The compilation layer is Kahve Tabela's. Underlying records come from public sources — Kültür Envanteri, OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, and the TürkPatent GI registry — and republishing raw data means honouring the original source's license (ODbL, CC variants). Each record names its own source, and the full breakdown lives on the open-data page.

The dataset has a persistent DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21532565.
