FAQ from Miklat MCP

What cities does Miklat MCP currently support?

Currently only jerusalem is supported, with 198 public shelters. The list_cities tool confirms which cities are available.

How can I contribute shelter data for a new city?

Submit a pull request to the upstream Miklat-MCP-Data repository with a GeoJSON file following the documented schema. The MCP server periodically pulls data from that repository.

What transport protocol does Miklat MCP use?

It uses streamable HTTP transport. The endpoint URL is https://mcp.jlmshelters.com/mcp. No authentication or API key is required.

Is the shelter data guaranteed to be accurate?

No. The README states that data is gathered periodically and no guarantee of accuracy or completeness is offered. Shelters may change between updates. Users should not rely solely on this data for personal safety or emergency preparedness and should verify with official municipal sources.

How can I run the server locally for development?

Clone the repository, run npm install, then npm run dev to start a local dev server at http://localhost:8787. Deploy to Cloudflare Workers with npm run deploy.
