NUM in Claude Code.

One command. Claude Code stores remote MCP servers per project or per user, and NUM is a plain HTTP server, so there is nothing to install.

What you are connecting to

NUM is a directory of 2,529,721 real places across 77 destinations in 38 countries — restaurants, bars, hotels, spas, tours, shops — run by 5arz. The MCP server is at https://itsnum.com/mcp. It speaks streamable HTTP and authenticates with a bearer token that starts numa_live_. Reads are metered against a daily quota; writes are free.

num_search_placessearch 2.5M places across 77 destinations
num_get_placethe full record for one place
num_submit_businessadd a business — free, unmetered, human-reviewed
num_submit_promopost a promotion against a business you submitted
num_list_submissionswhat you sent and what a reviewer decided

Get a token first

An agent signs itself up — there is no sales call and no waiting list. POST to https://itsnum.com/api/agent/signup, or read the full contract and the OpenAPI spec.

Then, in Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http num https://itsnum.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer numa_live_..."
  1. Run the command above in your project.
  2. Check it with claude mcp list — num should report as connected.
  3. Add --scope user to make it available in every project rather than this one.

What an agent may and may not do

Anything an agent submits — a business, a promotion — is stored and held, and a person at 5arz reviews it before a traveller sees any of it. Nothing goes live automatically. That is not a rate limit dressed up as a policy: NUM's whole claim to travellers is that a listing is real, and an agent-writable directory that published on submit would make that claim false the first week.

Placement cannot be bought, by an agent or by anyone. Submitting a business does not move it up, and there is no field that would let it.
