Swiss Culture Mcp
Connects Claude to Swiss federal cultural heritage data through four public APIs: geo.admin.ch for the ISOS inventory of protected townscapes, news.admin.ch RSS for Federal Office of Culture press releases and prize announcements, opendata.swiss CKAN for BAK datasets, and lebendige-traditionen.ch for Switzerland's 228 living traditions of intangible heritage. You get ten tools covering ISOS searches by place name or canton, tradition lookups, cultural prize queries, and news feeds. No API key required since everything runs on Open Government Data. Useful when you need Claude to answer questions about Swiss heritage sites, settlement types, or cultural policy without manually scraping federal portals. Ships with both stdio for Claude Desktop and streamable HTTP for browser deployments.
