Hamptons Verified
Fact-checked answers about the Hamptons and North Fork — what's open right now, what quietly closed, and what a beach permit actually costs.
Documentation
This guide is the first in the Hamptons your AI can talk to directly. You chat in your own Claude or ChatGPT — no API keys, no new account, nothing to install. Ask below — first-timers connect once (~30 seconds).

First time here? Connect your AI once (~30 seconds)
- Open claude.ai → Settings → Customize → Connectors
- Click “Add” and choose the custom connector option
- Name it “Hamptons Verified”, paste this URL, leave the optional OAuth fields empty, and hit Add:
https://hamptonsverified.com/api/ai/mcpCopy URL
Tip: on the connector's Tool permissions screen, switch “Needs approval” to “Allowed” — every tool is a read-only lookup.
Check it worked: ask your assistant “which Hamptons restaurants have closed recently?” A connected one answers with venue names, closing dates and a source for each. If it hedges, apologises for a connector problem, or talks about Hamptons restaurants in general, the tools are not loaded — and anything it tells you about what is open is coming from its training data, not from us.
Done — I’m connected
Other assistants
Any assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol can use the same URL (for stdio-only clients: npx mcp-remote https://hamptonsverified.com/api/ai/mcp). No AI at all? The weekend planner and the search bar above cover the same ground by hand.
What it can answer
- What’s open right now, by town — computed live from verified hours
- Places — restaurants, breakfast, nightlife, wine, wellness, ice cream, farm stands, oyster farms
- Upcoming events, each with its official source link
- Every beach’s parking-permit and dog rules
- What has closed — and whether a place you remember is still there. Every AI recommends restaurants that shut years ago; this one can check first, with the date and who reported it.
- Community help, in Spanish and English — free immigration legal advocacy, sliding-scale clinics, food pantries and their opening days, ESL and citizenship classes, tenant-rights and wage-theft lines, Spanish Mass times. Ask in either language; the answer quotes the guide’s own Spanish.
- Getting here — Jitney, Cannonball, ferries and seaplanes at the operators’ current fares, plus whether Route 27 is inside one of its published crawl windows right now, and when the next one starts.
Answers are question-shaped and capped by design — a concierge, not a data feed — and every answer links back to the verified listing here.
