fyndling-mcp

Built for medieval market fans, reenactors, and living-history enthusiasts — and the AI assistants that help them plan. Fyndling MCP gives AI clients direct access to two niche European datasets:

  • Medieval events — query 2,000+ markets, concerts, castle experiences, and living-history events across 20 European countries by location + radius + date range (updated weekly)
  • Permanent POIs — meaderies, mead producers, castles, and medieval restaurants, also searchable by geo-radius
  • Historical recipes — 1,100+ recipes from six cookbooks spanning the 13th–17th century, with modern German adaptations, structured ingredient lists, and original manuscript transcripts
