# Elsewheres

Elsewheres is a public map, calendar, and planning companion for events across New York City.

## Public MCP server

- Endpoint: https://elsewheres.world/api/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Access: anonymous and read-only
- Scope: public event, venue, place, taxonomy, schedule-context, and event-weather facts
- Server details: https://elsewheres.world/.well-known/mcp.json

Claude Code setup:

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user elsewheres https://elsewheres.world/api/mcp

Then ask Claude Code to use Elsewheres, for example: “Use Elsewheres to make a three-stop Brooklyn itinerary for August 10, 2026. I like film, art, and free events. Leave 45 minutes between stops.”

For itinerary work, call `events.itinerary` with explicit America/New_York date bounds and preferences. Inspect promising stops with `events.get`; `schedule.context` and `weather.event` can add context. Keep organizer URLs, confidence, and verification caveats in the answer.

The public endpoint has no write, administration, attendee, profile, private-location, or credential tools. It retains no MCP session. Itinerary travel context is straight-line venue distance, not verified routing, transit time, current venue hours, or event status. Always verify access, price, status, weather, and route at the organizer source before traveling.
