National Parks MCP Server

Resolve a place name, US state, or free-text query to National Park Service parks — the required first step before the detail tools.

Full trip-planning detail for one or more parks by parkCode: description, activities and topics, entrance fees and passes, operating hours by area/season, contacts, directions, a free-text weather overview, representative images, and the NPS page for everything else.

Campgrounds at a park or across a state: amenities (potable water, showers, RV dump station, toilets, trash collection, RV access), reservable vs. first-come-first-served site counts, reservation guidance and booking URL, accessibility, and fees — answering "where can I camp at Zion, and can I get an RV hookup?"

Covers the NPS editorially-curated activity list (distinct from a park's raw activity tags in nps_get_park). Accepts a single 4-letter park code or a single two-letter state code, and at least one is requir

Scheduled events at a park within a date range — ranger programs, festivals, tours, interpretive events — answering "what's happening at Yellowstone this weekend?" with title, dates and times, location, category, fee, and registration links. Get park codes from nps_find_parks. Paginates by page number, not offset. Many parks list few or no events; an empty result is not an error.
