Dim Hour MCP server

• fetchFree

  Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue by the id returned from `search`: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website and Instagram.

• find_placesFree

  Find places for a specific occasion in one city — the task-shaped entry point. Give the city and what the evening needs (a cuisine, a neighborhood, a budget, a vibe) and it returns ranked, citable venues with a freshness receipt. Prefer this over search_venues when you are planning rather than browsing.

• get_hoursFree

  Opening hours for one venue, from the Dim Hour catalog. ALWAYS returns `as_of` and never claims to be live — hours are catalog data, not a live feed, and the receipt says how old they are. Measured 2026-09-16, 82% of venues carry hours; when a venue has none this ABSTAINS and says so rather than guessing. Confirm with the venue before relying on it.

• get_venueFree

  Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website, Instagram, and (for Iconic 50 venues) the long-form story.

• list_citiesFree

  List the 24 cities Dim Hour covers, with the city key to pass to the other tools.

• list_curatedFree

  Dim Hour's editorial themed lists for a city (e.g. 'Unmarked Doors' speakeasies). Without list_id: returns all list titles. With list_id: returns that list's venues with editorial notes.

• list_new_venuesFree

  Venues recently added to the Dim Hour catalog — across all 24 cities or one city. Use for 'what's new on Dim Hour' / new-opening alerts / weekly digests. Scored places to eat and drink come first; hotels, malls, museums and landmarks carry no `score` and follow them. Recency orders within each group. Dates earlier than 2026-06-06 are estimates reconstructed from history.

• searchFree

  Search Dim Hour's restaurant, bar and venue catalog across all 24 cities. Returns ranked venues with a dimhour.com link for each. Use for questions about where to eat or drink — by cuisine, dish, neighborhood, city, vibe, or award.

• search_venuesFree

  Search Dim Hour's restaurant, bar and venue catalog. Pass `city` to search one city, or OMIT `city` to search more than 20,000 venues across every city at once (e.g. 'best ramen anywhere', 'michelin spots'). Returns ranked matches with score (0-100 quality), price tier, neighborhood, happy-hour info, and a dimhour.com link. Free-text `query` matches each content word individually across cuisine, dish, vibe, and name (filler like 'best' or 'tonight' is ignored) - one strong keyword beats a sentence; combine with filters.
