valet-parking-directory
Public read-only MCP server backed by GetValetParking.com directory of US valet operators.
Find this server on the Official MCP Registry.
What this is
GetValetParking.com directory exposes a Model Context Protocol server at https://api.getvaletparking.com/mcp over the Streamable HTTP transport. The server is public, read-only, and unauthenticated. It serves the same data that powers the directory pages at getvaletparking.com: 789 US valet operators across 31,186 cities, with 9 service taxonomies (wedding, corporate, restaurant, hotel, hospital, etc.).
Agents call it when a user asks about valet parking in a location. The server returns operator profiles with addresses, phone numbers, websites, services, FAQs, and tipping notes. Search by coordinate, by city slug, by service, or by name prefix.

}Tools
| Tool | Title | Description | Cost (points) |
|---|---|---|---|
valet_list_services | List Valet Services | List the 9 canonical valet service slugs with display name and category. Use this when an agent needs to validate or discover the supported service taxonomy before composing a follow-up search. Returns the in-bundle catalog; no upstream call; no isError path. | 1 |
valet_get_operator | Get Operator | Get the full operator profile by slug including address, phone, website, services, venues_served, FAQs, and tipping note. Use this when an agent has a slug from a search tool or directory URL and needs the complete profile to rank or present. Returns isError on slug 404 or upstream outage. | 2 |
valet_search_cities | Search Cities | Search the cities directory by name prefix with population-ranked results. Use this when an agent needs to resolve a partial city name into a canonical city slug plus state slug plus lat/lng before composing valet_find_operators_in_city or valet_find_operators_near. Empty array if no matches. | 1 |
valet_find_operators_in_city | Find Operators in City | List valet operators serving a city slug plus state slug, optionally narrowed by service. Use this when an agent has a city already disambiguated and wants its operator roster ranked premium tier first then name. Empty array if no listed operators. | 1 |
valet_search_by_service_and_city | Search by Service and City | Search valet operators by service slug plus city slug across all matching states. Use this when an agent has both a service slug and a city slug and wants a cross-state tier-then-name ranked list. Invalid service slugs surface the 9 canonical alternatives. | 1 |
valet_find_nearest_operators | Find Nearest Operators | List nearest valet operators within a 100-mile cap of a coordinate, optionally narrowed by service. Use this when a user is in a city with no listed operators and you need the closest available fallback ranked nearest-first. Empty array if nothing within 100 miles. | 3 |
valet_find_operators_near | Find Operators Near | Find valet operators within a given radius of a coordinate, ranked premium tier first then distance. Use this when you have a coordinate and an event-context radius (5mi single venue, 25mi metro, 50mi regional). radius_miles is required; empty array if no matches. | 3 |

Example transcripts
Three example transcripts capture the canonical first prompt "Find me valet parking near Austin, Texas" in three clients. Screenshots will land with the Phase 11 asset kit (target 2026-07).

Each transcript will show the prompt, the agent's tool call (valet_find_nearest_operators or valet_search_cities then valet_find_operators_in_city), and the readable result for the user.
Data freshness
Operator data refreshes daily at 03:00 UTC via a Cloudflare Worker reconcile from Payload CMS to Typesense. The data_freshness field on every tool response includes the indexed_at timestamp plus source. If Payload-vs-Typesense drift exceeds 5%, tool responses return a transient 503 with retry-after; 1-5% drift adds a data_freshness.warning field with the current drift percentage. Server-card available at https://api.getvaletparking.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
Rate limits and abuse circuit
The server enforces a per-(IP, session) cost-points budget of 100 points / 60 seconds rolling window. The cost table above lists the per-tool cost. Per-IP abuse circuit: more than 1,000 calls/day for 2 consecutive days trips a 24-hour tarpit. Per-tool kill switches are available to the operator as a manual override.
