name: ikuzo description: Manage maps, spots, and travel plans on Ikuzo (ikuzo.app) — a location-based exploration app. Use when creating/editing maps, adding/searching spots, planning trips with day-by-day itineraries, finding nearby places, or managing travel logistics. Triggers on map management, spot tracking, trip planning, location discovery, and "where should I go" questions.

Ikuzo

Ikuzo is a map & travel planning app. Access via MCP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST).

Connection

Endpoint: https://ikuzo.app/api/mcp
Auth: Bearer token (from TOOLS.md or user config)
Protocol: JSON-RPC 2.0 — POST with {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"<tool>","arguments":{...}}}

Tools

Maps

• maps_list — list all maps (owned + shared)
• maps_get(mapId) — get map details
• maps_create(title) — create a new empty map, returns map with ID

Spots

• spots_list(mapId, ...) — list/filter spots in a map. Filters: status[], type[], period[], momentFrom/To, text, limit, offset, fields[]
• spots_get(spotId) — get spot details
• spots_create(mapId, title, gps{lat,lng}, ...) — create spot. Optional: description, type, status, period[], moment{date, repeat, reminder[]}
• spots_update(spotId, ...) — update any field (including moment, rating)
• spots_delete(spotId) — soft delete (recoverable)
• spots_nearby(lat, lng, ...) — find spots near a point across ALL accessible maps. Optional: radius (km, default 10, max 500), mapIds[], all spot filters. Returns sorted by distance.
• spots_box(north, south, east, west, ...) — find spots in bounding box. Same filters as nearby.

Travel Plans

• travels_list — list all travel plans
• travels_get(travelId) — get plan with steps
• travels_create(title) — create plan
• travels_update(travelId, title) — rename plan
• travels_delete(travelId) — delete plan

Steps (within a travel plan)

• steps_add(travelId, type, ...) — add step. type="spot" requires spotId, type="day" requires title. Optional: orderKey
• steps_update(stepId, ...) — update position or title
• steps_delete(stepId) — remove step

Utility

• ping — test connection
• schema — get valid values for type, status, period
• quota — check API usage (doesn't count against quota)

Schema Reference

See references/schema.md for valid spot types, statuses, and periods. Call schema tool at runtime if unsure.

Key Patterns

Find spots to visit nearby

spots_nearby(lat, lng, radius=20, status=["a","b"])

Status a = "Ikuzo!" (priority), b = "To Visit"

Seasonal spots with upcoming moments

spots_list(mapId, momentFrom="2026-03-01", momentTo="2026-04-30")

Create a trip itinerary

1. travels_create(title) → get travelId
2. steps_add(travelId, type="day", title="Day 1 - Arrival")
3. steps_add(travelId, type="spot", spotId="...") for each spot
4. Repeat day dividers + spots for each day

Efficient listing (reduce tokens)

Use fields to request only what you need:

spots_list(mapId, fields=["_id","title","gps","status","type"])

Image URLs

Spot images use Ikuzo's CDN:

https://ik.offbeatjapan.org/ikuzo/{imageId}.{ext}?tr=h-{height},w-{width}

Where imageId and ext come from the spot's image[] array.
