Read BLACKBOOK’s city guides from Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant that supports MCP: places by neighbourhood, sights, the best time to go and what is on.
1. What it is
The connector gives an assistant read access to every city guide on blackbookapp.co/guides. Each guide is curated by BLACKBOOK and organised by neighbourhood: coffee, lunch, dinner, bars, stays, training, things to do and shopping, with practical notes, the best time to visit, month-by-month weather and events, and the main sights.
When an assistant answers from a guide, it gives the link to the full guide on this site.

4. Things to ask

- Find me a padel court in Dubai.
- When is the best time to visit Abu Dhabi, and what is on in February?
- I have a weekend in Tokyo. Which neighbourhoods should I look at first?
5. Read only, and your data
The connector only reads. It cannot make bookings, change anything or reach any account. It does not ask for your name, email or any personal information. Your hosting provider records standard technical request data in its logs, as it does for every page on this site; see our privacy policy for how we handle data.
Opening hours, events and availability change, so an assistant should suggest checking before you travel.
6. Support
