NYCfoodie MCP server

• compare_restaurantsFree

  Compare 2–3 named restaurants head-to-head as structured data (rating, price, tags, review summary). Use when the user asks to choose between specific places, e.g. 'should I go to X or Y?'.

• find_guidesFree

  Find curated editorial guides (ranked lists) matching a theme, e.g. 'best ramen'. Returns each guide with its ranked entries, blurbs and linked restaurants. Use when the user wants the editorial lists themselves rather than individual restaurant picks. Set include_entries=false to list guide titles and metadata without pulling every entry blurb.

• find_similarFree

  Find restaurants similar to a named one, scored by shared cuisine, occasion and neighbourhood tags plus guide co-occurrence. Use for 'like X' or 'alternatives to X' requests.

• get_restaurantFree

  Get the full picture for one restaurant in one call: Infatuation rating (0–10), price tier, address, reservation link, booking intel, review summary, tags and every guide it appears in. Use when the user names a specific restaurant. Full review prose is opt-in via include_prose (default: headline and summary only). review.headline is the source's actual headline when one exists, otherwise null — use review.summary for the descriptive text.

• guide_consensusFree

  Rank restaurants by how many distinct guides feature them, optionally filtered by theme. Use for 'where can't I go wrong' or safest-bet picks. Differs from find_guides: this returns ranked restaurants, not the guides themselves.

• search_restaurantsFree

  Search restaurants by free text, cuisine, neighbourhood, occasion or price, optionally near a point. Use when the user describes what they want (e.g. 'Italian date night in the West Village', 'ramen near me') rather than naming a specific restaurant. Free text matches names, tags, review prose and guide blurbs (e.g. 'cacio e pepe'). Returns compact matches with Infatuation rating (0–10), price tier, address and tags. Known-closed venues are excluded by default. Coverage for city='new-york' is the five boroughs plus the immediate metro (within 30 km of Manhattan). With no query or filters, returns the highest-rated venues.

• submit_feedbackwrite actionFree

  Record feedback on a tool result: a 1–5 rating, a comment, or both (at least one is required). Use after showing the user a recommendation to log what was good or wrong. Each call stores a new feedback entry; it changes nothing the user sees.

• top_ratedFree

  List the highest-rated restaurants (Infatuation 0–10 scale), with optional cuisine, neighbourhood and price filters. Use for 'best in the city' requests. Differs from search_restaurants: no free-text query, strictly rating-ordered.
