Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to www.thehikingworld.com. It runs from a package rather than a hosted endpoint, so there is no endpoint to match against that domain.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only hiking trail catalog that lets an assistant look up sourced trail facts, permit fees, regions and GeoJSON geometry.

What you can do: Search and list trails by country, region or distance, and list available countries and regions
Read a full trail record with distance, grade, permits and geometry link
Look up permit fee rows and build multi-trail permit checklists
Retrieve stored line GeoJSON for a trail, with schematic lines flagged
Fetch the public signing key and verification recipe, and recent confirmed permit fee changes
When to use it: Useful when an assistant needs to answer hiking route, permit fee or coverage questions from a sourced catalog, or to shortlist trails before planning a trip. Values that are not stored come back empty rather than estimated.
Requirements: Runs as a local stdio process, installed from the npm package. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Desktop-only; not available as a web executable.

Before you install

Read-only, with no credentials requested. Figures are only as complete as the stored catalog: missing values return null, and tiers range from verified-official to unverified, so check the tier, trail URL and readDate before relying on a fee or distance. Permit fees are informational and not a booking service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Thehikingworld in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Returns distinct country names from the catalog. Output: countries[] of strings. Use with list_regions to scope search_trails. Never invents figures; returns null when not stored.

Takes no parameters.

get_geojson

Get provenance

Returns the public signing key and verification recipe. Use to validate a get_trail signature, not for trail facts. Never invents figures; returns null when not stored.
