Gingerguide: European city walking tours tools (14)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • compare_citiesFree

    Compare two to four covered cities side by side, e.g. "Porto or Lisbon?" or "Seville vs Granada for Moorish history". Gives each city's sight count, days needed, strongest interests and historical periods, share of indoor sights and headline sights, says which city is stronger for each interest or period, and the distance between them. Based on the sight catalog only: not prices, weather, nightlife or beaches.

  • find_day_tripsFree

    Day trips from a base city to other covered cities and towns nearby, e.g. "day trips from Florence" or "a day trip from Munich for castles". Ranks destinations by distance, fit with the traveler's interests and periods, and fame, and lists what to see there in one day. Distances are straight-line; travel times are not included because trains, mountains and ferries change them a lot. Only covered cities are listed.

  • find_nearby_attractionsFree

    Sights closest to a latitude/longitude (for example the traveler's hotel or current position), sorted by walking time, optionally filtered by interests or category. If nothing is within the radius, returns the nearest covered city.

  • get_attractionFree

    Full details for one sight: long description, a notable fact, photo, coordinates, map links, visit minutes, and the nearest other sights with walking minutes. Use the attraction id from search_attractions or get_city_guide.

  • get_catalog_overviewFree

    Coverage of the Gingerguide catalog: number of cities, sights and countries, supported languages, and the exact values accepted by the category, interests and periods filters of the other tools. Call it first when unsure whether a city or filter value is supported.

  • get_city_guideFree

    One city's guide: overview, headline sights, lesser-known sights, and every sight with category, coordinates, visit minutes and a one-line description. Set detail to "full" to add the long description of every sight (large response).

  • get_visit_infoFree

    Practical facts for visiting one city: best months and crowd seasons, climate, annual events that change a visit, how to get from the airport, main station or cruise port to the centre (typical minutes), city passes, which sights are free, which need booking ahead, weekly closing days and dress codes. Every fact has a source and a check date. No prices or opening hours. Researched for some cities only; the answer says when a city is not covered yet.

  • list_countriesFree

    List covered countries with the ids of their cities.

  • plan_trip_itineraryFree

    Multi-day plan for one city: each day covers one or two walkable areas (with a public-transport hop between them), ordered as walking routes, plus sights that did not fit. Example: "three days in Vienna for art and music lovers".

  • plan_walking_tourFree

    Build an ordered self-guided walking route in one city that fits a time budget, e.g. "a two-hour historical walk in Rome". Picks sights by interests, periods and style, orders them to keep walking short, and returns each stop with walking minutes, suggested time on site, clock times and a Google Maps walking link.

  • recommend_attractionsFree

    Personalized picks in one city for a traveler's interests, favourite periods, preference for headline sights or hidden gems, indoor or outdoor, and time available. Each pick says why it was chosen. Use plan_walking_tour instead when the traveler wants an ordered route.

  • recommend_destinationsFree

    Suggest covered European cities that fit a traveler's interests or favourite historical periods, e.g. "best cities for Byzantine history" or "a city break for art and food in Spain". Ranks cities by how many of their sights match, and says why.

  • search_attractionsFree

    Search individual sights across all cities or within one city, by free text, category, interests, historical period, indoor/outdoor, visit length, free entry or distance from a point. Example: five Byzantine sights in Istanbul, Gothic churches in Spain, or free things to do in Rome. Returns name, description, coordinates, visit minutes and page URL for each match.

  • search_citiesFree

    Find covered European cities by name (in any of the six languages), country or region. Returns the city id needed by the other tools, sight count, summary and web guide URL. Omit query to list all cities.

Gingerguide MCP server and agent skills

Gingerguide is a self-guided audio walking tour app for iPhone and Android. It covers 129 European cities and 2,500+ narrated sights in 28 countries. Each sight has a researched 2 to 3 minute story, read by a lifelike AI voice, in English, Spanish, French, German, Turkish and Chinese. Cities work fully offline.

This repository lets AI assistants and agents use the Gingerguide catalog. It contains:

  • The connection details for the public Gingerguide MCP server at https://gingerguide.app/mcp.
  • Two agent skills (SKILL.md format) for audio tour lookup and one-day city walks.
  • Ready-to-copy client configs and curl examples.

The server is read-only. It needs no API key and no sign-in.
