What you can do
  • Find events, markets and conferences in Amsterdam by date, category or month

When to use it
Useful when an assistant answers questions about living in or visiting Amsterdam: what is on this week, job hunting, finding a bakery or market, Dutch pay and rent rules, or neighbourhood safety figures. It is a narrow city guide, not a general search tool.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at essentiallyamsterdam.com; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Results are limited to 10 per call and link back to essentiallyamsterdam.com, so answers are shaped by that site's coverage. Salary, rent and bike theft figures come from third-party sources such as Belastingdienst and police open data and are informational, not official advice. All tools are described as read-only.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Essentially Amsterdam 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.essentiallyamsterdam%2Famsterdam/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
