London Tourist Map MCP

A free, public MCP server that gives AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client) the facts behind this map: 463 London sights and hidden gems, opening hours checked on official websites, current ticket prices, seasonal closures, the nearest Tube station and whether it is step-free, plus a day-by-day trip planner. Every answer links back to the interactive map.

All three are read-only: they never change anything or act on other systems.

• london_place_info: one place's facts: opening hours for each day with the date they were checked, last entry, seasonal closures, ticket price, how long a visit takes, the nearest station and its step-free access, accessibility and address. Understands nicknames such as "the V&A" or "Kew Gardens".
• plan_london_trip: a 1-7 day sightseeing plan grouped by area in walking order, with closed days avoided, and a link to the interactive plan with the route, lunch stops, a booking checklist and a printable PDF.
