Unlock the wonders of South Korean tourism directly within your AI assistant! This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server powered by the official Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) API. Equip your AI with the ability to discover vibrant festivals, serene temples, delicious restaurants, comfortable accommodations, and much more across Korea.
Once connected, the assistant can call this tool directly:
The server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 7 environment variables: KOREA_TOURISM_API_KEY, MCP_TRANSPORT, MCP_HOST, MCP_PORT, MCP_LOG_LEVEL, YOUR_KTO_API_KEY, LOCAL_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Korea Tourism Api sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Releases — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
