Tools of Istanbul MCP
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`istanbul_city_services_nearby`Summarize WiFi near a static reference point and district-level libraries/culture. district (all 39 Istanbul districts) is exclusive with place/coordinates; district-only place names also return district address lists, without WiFi or invented distances. Radius applies only to WiFi with a point. For Acıbadem, specify 'Acıbadem, Kadıköy' or 'Acıbadem, Üsküdar'. Not full address geocoding.

`istanbul_datastore_query`Run a bounded SELECT over records from one allowlisted CKAN resource. SQLite dialect: use table records and published column names. GROUP BY and aggregates are supported; no writes, arbitrary functions or application DB. A complete bounded capture is required, never partial counts. The server enforces an outer result limit (default 20, max 100) even if SQL omits LIMIT. Only resources configured in CKAN_SQL_ALLOWED_RESOURCE_IDS are available.

`istanbul_event_detail`Inspect a search event_id or performance_id: sessions, observed offers and provenance. IDs must come from event search, never a URL. Biletinial detail is refreshed with bounded caching when configured. Ticketmaster details use the latest indexed feed; prices and ticket availability remain unknown. Missing or retired catalogue coverage is not cancellation. Preserve start_time_basis, source_time_conflict and per-performance warnings; published HTML session times can resolve inconsistent JSON-LD offsets. Flexible-entry tickets have start_at=null; use event_date and do not present source_start_at as an appointment, opening hour or scheduled visit. Preserve admission_window and excluded_weekdays. entry_date_restricted=true marks an explicitly prohibited ticket date; it is not a cancellation claim. catalogue_retired means retained local sessions are inactive; source_unavailable means active local records exist but their source snapshot is unusable. not_found without retained history cannot explain whether a deploy reset or provider change removed an earlier record. participation_conditions contains bounded source statements from the event's description/rules/facts, with provenance, observation time, expired/unknown status and unverified_topics. These are provider claims, not legal rights, venue-wide accessibility guarantees or personal eligibility confirmations. offers[].terms distinguishes admission count, price profile and unknown units. Optional party_size/ticket_profile or mixed party and budget_includes_fees produce price_quote for each source session without changing its selection or filtering the series. Party prices remain observed subtotals, not checkout. Use description or each performance's about.text to explain the event topic in 1–2 sentences. Missing text does not establish a plot or theme.

`istanbul_events_plan`Build deterministic one-day event options, with ICS and calendar links. Each performance includes about.text when published; explain its topic in 1–2 short sentences, preserving uncertainty when a description is unavailable. min_events (1–max_events) expresses a REQUIRED minimum; for exactly two stops set min_events=2,max_events=2. required_categories requires one of each named type, unlike interests (only allowed types). Complete options satisfy both; partial_options separately list missing_events/missing_categories and do not generate calendars. fulfillment.status/reason_codes explain complete, partial, unverified-budget or unmet requests; never present a partial as a full plan. party_size/ticket_profile or a mixed party map price the whole group at every stop. max_price_try is the total observed party basket across ALL stops, not a per-person cap. budget_includes_fees keeps unknown fee totals unverified. price_quote ticket quantities, total_price_scope and checkout_total_verified separate observed subtotals from live checkout/seat guarantees. date: YYYY-MM-DD or today/tomorrow, default today in Europe/Istanbul. Use selected event_ids (1–20 from search/detail) or district discovery. A selected performance_id keeps that exact session; an event_id allows its series sessions. Missing/ambiguous replacements require a new selection. Selected IDs still respect date and the 18:00–23:59 default window; provide the session's date and explicit start_time/end_time for daytime selections. interests accepts up to five search categories. Window is same-day HH:MM. interests restricts allowed categories; unrelated fallback is never added. When the user is explicitly participating as an adult, exclude_child_only=true removes known upper age limits below 18 before the 20-candidate plan budget; selected child-only sessions are rejected with child_only_age_range.

`istanbul_events_search`Search indexed Istanbul event sessions; use event_detail for full verification. Dates: YYYY-MM-DD or today/tomorrow (Europe/Istanbul), default next 7 days, maximum 31 days. Times: HH:MM within a day. Started sessions are excluded by default, even for explicit dates. Use include_past=true for retained active past sessions; this is not an archive and expired prices stay unknown. result_info.filter_counts explains exclusions. start_time_basis records the source of the time. source_time_conflict=true means published Istanbul HTML session times took precedence over conflicting JSON-LD times; preserve per-event warnings and verify the ticket page. timing_kind=flexible_entry has event_date but start_at=null: its source_start_at is catalogue metadata, never a visit or reservation time. Show the date and ticket link, and verify opening hours/admission conditions. Clock-filtered searches exclude date-only flexible tickets; excluded_unverified_time counts them. admission_window holds published opening/last-entry/closing clocks, not an appointment. Source excluded_weekdays uses Monday=0..Sunday=6; restricted dates are excluded and counted in excluded_entry_date. Detail retains them for inspection with entry_date_restricted=true, never an admission guarantee. Categories: concert, theatre, opera_ballet, standup, family, festival, exhibition, workshop, sport, seminar, other. District: one of Istanbul's 39 districts. Coordinates must be paired; Turkish aliases such as tiyatro, konser, çocuk, atölye are accepted. query searches titles by default; query_scope=all also searches venue names. Empty/whitespace query means no text filter. match_mode=words (default) matches complete normalized words, so Sıla does not match Silahşör. Use match_mode=prefix explicitly for stems/autocomplete; prefix matches are related title matches, never proof of artist identity. radius defaults to 5000m, max	Search indexed Istanbul event sessions; use event_detail for full verification.
