Overview

AI-generated overview

Dim Hour is a remote MCP server that lets an assistant search a curated catalog of restaurants, bars and venues across 26 cities, with scores, hours and full-ve

What you can do
List the covered cities and their city keys for use in other tools. Search venues by city or across the whole catalog, ranked by a 0-100 quality score with price tier and neighborhood. Find places for a specific occasion in one city, with ranked, citable results and a freshness receipt. Browse recently added venues for new-opening alerts or weekly digests. Read editorial themed lists for a city, or one list's venues with notes. Get one venue's full record: dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservations, awards and links, plus opening hours that state how old the data is.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant answers questions about where to eat or drink, plans an evening in one of the covered cities, or needs venue details such as hours, happy hour or reservation platform. Also suited to new-opening digests and editorial list lookups.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint; no package, environment variable or header is declared. No authentication is declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Hours are catalog data, not a live feed, and the server says how old they are; confirm before relying on them. Catalog figures in the description and tool text differ (city and venue counts), so treat counts as approximate. Results are read-only lookups; no writes are described.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Dim Hour 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.dimhour%2Fcatalog/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

List cities

List the 26 cities Dim Hour covers, with the city key to pass to the other tools.

Takes no parameters.

search_venues

Search venues

Search Dim Hour's restaurant, bar and venue catalog. Pass `city` to search one city, or OMIT `city` to search more than 21,000 venues across every city at once (e.g. 'best ramen anywhere', 'michelin spots'). Returns ranked matches with score (0-100 quality), price tier, neighborhood, happy-hour info, and a dimhour.com link. Free-text `query` matches each content word individually across cuisine, dish, vibe, and name (filler like 'best' or 'tonight' is ignored) - one strong keyword beats a sentence; combine with filters.

list_new_venues

List new venues

Venues recently added to the Dim Hour catalog — across all 26 cities or one city. Use for 'what's new on Dim Hour' / new-opening alerts / weekly digests. Scored places to eat and drink come first; hotels, malls, museums and landmarks carry no `score` and follow them. Recency orders within each group. Dates earlier than 2026-06-06 are estimates reconstructed from history.

Parameterscitydayslimit

get_venue

Get venue details

Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website, Instagram, and (for Iconic 50 venues) the long-form story.

Parametersidcityrequiredname

fetch

Fetch a Dim Hour venue

Get the full Dim Hour record for one venue by the id returned from `search`: description, signature dishes, address, hours, phone, happy hour, reservation platform, awards, website and Instagram.

Parametersidrequired

list_curated

List editorial lists

Dim Hour's editorial themed lists for a city (e.g. 'Unmarked Doors' speakeasies). Without list_id: returns all list titles. With list_id: returns that list's venues with editorial notes.

Parameterscityrequiredlist_id

find_places

Find places

Find places for a specific occasion in one city — the task-shaped entry point. Give the city and what the evening needs (a cuisine, a neighborhood, a budget, a vibe) and it returns ranked, citable venues with a freshness receipt. Prefer this over search_venues when you are planning rather than browsing.

Parameterscityrequiredlimitmax_pricelooking_forneighborhood

get_hours

Get opening hours

Opening hours for one venue, from the Dim Hour catalog. ALWAYS returns `as_of` and never claims to be live — hours are catalog data, not a live feed, and the receipt says how old they are. Measured 2026-09-16, 82% of venues carry hours; when a venue has none this ABSTAINS and says so rather than guessing. Confirm with the venue before relying on it.

75% 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.
