Tablog MCP Server
This server allows your LLM to search for restaurants in Tablog, a website that is used locally in Japan to rate restaurants and often works better than Google Maps for planning which restaurants to visit in Japan!
Right now, the server is only able to search for restaurants, given the cuisine and location in Tokyo, and can filter by the maximum cost in Yen. There are a lot more filters that can be added!
Example prompts:
Give me a list of izakayas in Kichijoji with great local reviews, max 3000 yen. Any good vegan or vegetarian restaurants around Harajuku? What’s a cheap but popular curry spot in Akihabara? Where should I eat okonomiyaki in Tokyo? Ideally under 2500 yen.
