MCP Server Project (Proof of Concept)

What is BayernCloud MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the BayernCloud Tourismus API to AI assistants like Claude. It provides search, filtering, and geo tools for Bavarian tourism data — events, tours, points of interest, and gastronomy.

How to use BayernCloud MCP Server?

Set up a BayernCloud Tourismus API token, clone the repo, install dependencies with npm, and build. For local use with Claude Desktop, add the stdio configuration to claude_desktop_config.json. For a public HTTP server, run npm run start:http and configure Claude as a remote MCP server pointing to the /mcp endpoint.
