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 the GitHub account JCrossman for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

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

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search Parks Canada campsites and prepare reservations, with the user approving and paying.

What you can do: Search Parks Canada camping availability anonymously through the assistant, without signing in for lookups. Prepare reservation details for a chosen site. Handle account and booking flows through a local Chrome session, with account sessions kept encrypted on the user's device. Require explicit approval through the MCP host before any consequential action proceeds. Leave payment to the user, completed in their own browser.
When to use it: Useful when planning a Parks Canada camping trip and wanting an assistant to look up availability and assemble a reservation before the user finishes the booking and pays themselves. Suited to users who want to stay in control of account access and payment.
Requirements: Runs locally via npx from the npm package @open-state/camping. Needs Node.js 20 or newer, Google Chrome for account and booking flows, and an MCP host that supports form elicitation for consequential tools. No API keys or environment variables are declared.

Before you install

Account sessions are stored encrypted on the device, so the machine and MCP host should be trusted. Consequential actions need approval through the host, and payment is done by the user in the browser, so no payment credentials are handled by the server. It is an independent project, not affiliated with Parks Canada or the Government of Canada.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Open State: Camping - Parks Canada 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.
