Storied Collection Venues — remote MCP server

Read-only MCP server (Streamable HTTP, stateless, JSON responses) serving Storied Collection venue data live from the Google Sheet 1voQY3AHxjEasFCy3L2T1i1JsdzaD52AZnieFhASRLsM, tab Properties. 5-minute cache (CACHE_TTL_SECONDS); if a refresh fails, the last good data keeps being served.

Endpoint: POST /mcp (GET / = health check)

Tools

  • search_venues: query, country, min_sleeps, max_price + max_price_currency (GBP/EUR, no conversion), max_minimum_nights, helipad, ev_charging, guest_house, sort_by
  • get_venue: fuzzy, accent-insensitive name lookup, with suggestions when nothing matches
  • list_countries: countries with venue counts and currencies

Every price comes back with its currency. Values are never converted. Parsing rules: "3,000"→3000, "100+"→100 (the original text is kept in sleeps_display), "1600s"→1600, "On request"/blank→null. Blank Yes/No cells → null (unknown), and boolean filters leave those venues out.

Data source (pick one)

  1. Public sheet (default): share the sheet as Anyone with the link can view. The server reads the gviz CSV endpoint.
  2. Service account: set GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON to the key JSON and share the sheet (Viewer) with the service account's email.
  3. LOCAL_CSV=path.csv: local file, for testing only.

Run / test

npm install && npm run build npm start # reads the public sheet; or LOCAL_CSV=your.csv npm test # SDK client end-to-end calls npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli http://localhost:3000/mcp --transport http --method tools/list

Deploy (free options)

  • Render / Railway / Fly.io: any Node host. Run npm run build && npm start; PORT is respected.
  • Google Cloud Run: gcloud run deploy --source . (free tier). Lets you use a service account without a key file.
  • Cloudflare Workers would need a port to the Workers runtime (no Express). The data logic in src/data.ts carries over.
