MCP server for discovering rescue dogs from European and UK organizations. Search, filter, and get detailed profiles of dogs available for adoption. ## Connect ### Remote (recommended) No install. Add the endpoint as a custom connector or remote MCP server: ``` https://mcp.rescuedogs.me/mcp ``` It speaks MCP streamable HTTP, needs no authentication, and is read-only. ### Local (npm, stdio) ```bash npm install -g rescuedogs-mcp-server ``` Then add it to your client's MCP config. For Claude Desktop that is `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` on Windows: ```json { "mcpServers": { "rescuedogs": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "rescuedogs-mcp-server"] } } } ``` ## Available Tools ### rescuedogs_search_dogs Search for rescue dogs with comprehensive filtering. ``` "Find medium-sized dogs good for first-time owners" "Show me golden retrievers available to adopt in the UK" "Find low-energy dogs suitable for apartments" ``` **Parameters:** - `query` - Free-text search - `breed` - Filter by breed name - `breed_group` - Filter by FCI group (Herding, Sporting, etc.) - `size` - Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, XLarge - `age_category` - puppy, young, adult, senior - `sex` - male, female - `energy_level` - low, medium, high, very_high - `experience_level` - first_time_ok, some_experience, experienced_only - `home_type` - apartment_ok, house_preferred, house_required - `adoptable_to_country` - ISO country code (GB, IE, FR, DE) - `organization_id` - Restrict to one rescue (see `rescuedogs_list_organizations`) - `good_with_kids`, `good_with_dogs`, `good_with_cats` - boolean - `limit` (1-50, default 10), `offset` - pagination - `include_images` - Include dog photos (default: false, max 5 dogs) - `image_preset` - `thumbnail` (200x200) or `medium` (400x400) - `response_format` - `markdown` (default) or `json` ### rescuedogs_get_dog_details Get full details for a specific dog including AI-generated personality profile. ``` "Tell me about the dog with slug 'buddy-12345'" "Show me details for Max" ``` **Parameters:** - `slug` - Dog's URL slug (required) - `include_image` - Include photo (default: true) - `image_preset` - `thumbnail` or `medium` (default) - `response_format` - `markdown` (default) or `json` ### rescuedogs_list_breeds Get available breeds with counts and statistics. ``` "What breeds are available?"

They are currently located in the UK, Germany, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Turkey and Cyprus, and most rescues ship across the EU, EEA and UK. US, Canadian and Australian rescues are not covered. Use `rescuedogs_list_organizations` to see where each rescue ships, and `rescuedogs_get_filter_counts` for the live list of destination countries - coverage changes as organizations are added. ## Country Codes Use these codes for the `adoptable_to_country` parameter: | Code | Country | |------|---------| | GB | United Kingdom (UK also accepted) | | IE | Ireland | | DE | Germany | | FR | France | | ES | Spain | | IT | Italy | | NL | Netherlands | | BE | Belgium | | AT | Austria | | RO | Romania | | GR | Greece | | BG | Bulgaria | | CY | Cyprus | Dogs can be adopted to countries where the rescue organization ships to. Use `rescuedogs_list_organizations` to see which countries each organization serves. ## Data Source All data comes from [rescuedogs.me](https://www.rescuedogs.me), which aggregates listings from independent rescue organizations. At the time of writing that is roughly 1,400 available dogs across 96 breeds from 11 organizations; call `rescuedogs_get_statistics` for current figures. About 99% of dogs carry an AI-generated personality profile. The platform is powered by the open-source [rescue-dog-aggregator](https://github.com/ssatama/rescue-dog-aggregator) project, which handles collection, breed standardization, AI personality extraction, and the public API. ### How the data is gathered, and how to be removed Listings are collected from the public adoption pages of each rescue organization. Nothing behind a login, paywall or `robots.txt` restriction is collected, and no personal data about adopters or staff is stored. Every result links to the rescue's own adoption page. This project sends people to the rescues; it does not take applications, take payment, or stand between an adopter and an organization. If you run one of these organizations and want your listings removed, changed, or credited differently, open an issue on [rescue-dog-aggregator](https://github.com/ssatama/rescue-dog-aggregator/issues) or contact the maintainer. Removal requests are honoured, and no justification is required. ## Transports | Transport | Entrypoint | Used by | |-----------|-----------|---------| | stdio | `dist/index.js` (`npm start`) | Local clients, the npm package, Smithery | | Streamable HTTP | `dist/http.js` (`npm run start:http`) | The remote endpoint at `/mcp` | The HTTP transport is stateless: every request gets its own server instance, so there are no sessions to expire and it scales horizontally without shared state. SSE is not implemented - it is deprecated in the MCP SDK, and the current spec revision defines only stdio and streamable HTTP. The public endpoint is rate limited per IP, 120 requests/minute and 3,000 requests/hour. `/health` is exempt. Those ceilings are deliberately generous. Hosted MCP clients egress from small shared IP pools, so a per-IP bucket is shared by everyone behind that client; the limits exist to stop a scraper hammering the backend, not to ration normal use. Run it locally: ```bash npm run dev:http # tsx, no build step # or npm run build && npm run start:http ``` Then point the [MCP Inspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector) at `http://localhost:3000/mcp` with transport "Streamable HTTP".
