Find NYC public restrooms and their latest Parks inspection status, from NYC Open Data
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Ask Claude "where's the nearest public bathroom?" and get a real answer.
This is an MCP server, a small plugin that gives an AI assistant (like Claude Desktop or Claude Code) new abilities. This one lets it search New York City's official public restroom data, live from NYC Open Data. Once installed, you can ask things like:
- "Find a public restroom near Union Square that's open right now."
- "Which restrooms near me are wheelchair accessible?"
- "Is the bathroom at Jaime Campiz Playground actually clean?" (it looks up
the latest NYC Parks inspection report)
It adds two tools:
If you don't give it a location, it can detect yours automatically (details below). Everything is read-only: it only ever fetches public city data.
Install
You need Node.js 20 or newer. No download or setup beyond the snippet for your app.
Claude Code (one command):
claude mcp add nyc-restroom -- npx -y nyc-restroom-mcp
Claude Desktop: go to Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config and add this to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nyc-restroom": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "nyc-restroom-mcp"]
}
}
}Any other MCP client works the same way: have it launch npx -y nyc-restroom-mcp as a local (stdio) server.
