Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only travel data on every municipality in Japan, letting an assistant look up towns, sights, places to eat and stay in rural and small-town Japan.

What you can do
  • Browse prefectures and their towns with listing counts
  • Get a town overview: names, coordinates, access, official links, office contact and sample listings
  • Search listings by keyword, prefecture, town or category for sights, activities, food, lodging and day-to-day needs
  • Fetch a single listing by id with all published facts, page and source URLs, and checked booking links
When to use it
Useful when planning or answering questions about travel in Japan outside the big cities, or when you need town-level access details such as nearest station or whether a car is needed.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at bokenjapan.com; no authentication, environment variables or headers declared.
Before you install
Read-only data source; no writes or credentials involved. Content is third-party and may be incomplete — the server notes that null means not published, and booking links are only included when they returned HTTP 200 when checked. Love hotel entries carry an 18+ label that must be kept, and the server asks that pages be cited with attribution.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Boken Japan: rural and small-town Japan travel data in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.bokenjapan%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Score

83% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
