Kahve Tabela MCP — Türkiye's heritage, food, and coast

A public, read-only MCP server over

Kahve Tabela, an independent open-data atlas of

Türkiye: 32,330 cultural-heritage places, 4,106 regional dishes

(1,679 of them carrying a TürkPatent geographical-indication registration),

and the Mavi Koy coastal atlas.

Hosted — nothing to install, no key, no account.

Listed in the official MCP Registry as `com.kahvetabela/public-read`.

Connect

Any client that speaks the streamable HTTP transport:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kahvetabela": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://kahvetabela.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or check it by hand:

curl -s https://kahvetabela.com/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Tools

Every tool takes an optional `lang` of `tr` or `en`. Full input schemas come

from the server's own `tools/list` — that is the authority, not this table.

What is actually in the data

• Heritage — museums, archaeological sites, castles, mosques, churches,

tombs, monuments; category, province, district, coordinates. 28,820 records

carry a Wikidata identifier.

• Yöre Sofrası — regional dishes; the GI-registered ones link to their

official TürkPatent registry entry with registration type and number.

• Mavi Koy — coves, beaches, and coastal points.

Public data only. No user accounts, no e-mail addresses, no moderation queue

on this surface. Proximity-duplicate records are filtered out, so the server

never returns an id that redirects.

Attribution and licensing

The compilation layer is Kahve Tabela's. Underlying records come from public

sources — Kültür Envanteri, OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, and the TürkPatent GI

registry — and republishing raw data means honouring the original source's

license (ODbL, CC variants). Each record names its own source, and the full

breakdown lives on the open-data page.

The dataset has a persistent DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21532565.
