Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

create_alert

Set up an email alert for the user: LayUp watches for NEW matching slots (e.g. a cancellation freeing up a peak court) and emails them when one appears. Use when the user can't find a slot now and wants to be notified, or asks to 'monitor'/'watch'/'let me know when'. Requires their email. NARROW IT FIRST. An alert with no venues attached matches hundreds of slots, so the emails read as a dump rather than an alert: of 20 such alerts, 1 was ever confirmed and 8 died unconfirmed at the send cap. Call this without venue_names and the tool will NOT create an alert — it returns the venues LayUp covers in that area so you can ask the user which ones they want, and prompts for the days and times that suit them. Then call again with their answers. LayUp does the watching; the notification arrives by email, not in this chat.

emailstring, required

The user's REAL email address, as given by them (required — alerts are emailed here). Never invent, guess or substitute a placeholder like [email protected]; if you don't have it, ask the user first.

areastring

Where to watch, resolved geographically: a borough ('Hackney'), a neighbourhood ('Maida Vale'), a region ('North London'), or a postcode ('W9 2RF', 'SE1'). A postcode is the most precise option when the user gives one. NOT a venue name — to watch a specific venue use venue_names. Omit for all London.

sportstring

One of Football, Tennis, Squash, Padel, Swimming. Omit for any.

time_tostring

Latest London time-of-day, 'HH:MM'.

max_pricenumber

Only alert on slots at or under this GBP price.

time_fromstring

Earliest London time-of-day, 'HH:MM' (e.g. '18:00').

venue_namesarray

Pin the alert to specific venues BY NAME, exactly as shown in search results (e.g. ["Hay's Galleria", "Padel Box"]). Use this whenever the user names venues — the server resolves names to the right venue(s). Prefer this over venue_slugs.

venue_slugsarray

Pin the alert to specific venues by their exact venue_slug (only if you already have slug values from search_slots). For most cases use venue_names instead. Omit for any venue.

days_of_weekarray

Only alert on these days (e.g. ['Sat','Sun'] for weekends). The alert is standing — it keeps watching these days every week until the user unsubscribes. Omit for any day.

all_venues_in_areaboolean

Set true ONLY after the user has explicitly said they want every venue in the area rather than a chosen few. Without venue_names the tool refuses and hands you the venue list to offer them — area-wide alerts match hundreds of slots, are never confirmed and lapse unused.

This tool isn't marked read-only, so it may change something on the server or in an account you connected.

get_venue

List upcoming bookable slots at a single venue, identified by its venue_slug (as returned by search_slots). Use to drill into one venue after a search.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	Max slots to return (1-30, default 15).
venue_slug*	string	The venue_slug from a search_slots result.

list_sports

List the sports LayUp covers with a count of slots available in the next 7 days. Useful as a quick overview before a more specific search.

read-only

No arguments.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "additionalProperties": false
}

refine_search

Find out WHERE and WHEN there is availability, before asking the user a clarifying question. Takes the same filters as search_slots and returns counts by area, day, time band and price — not slots. Use it when the request is under-specified ('find me a tennis court', 'somewhere for a group') so the question you ask back is grounded in real supply: ask 'Wandsworth (8 venues) or Richmond (7)?' rather than an open 'which area?'. Also use it when a search returned nothing, to say which nearby area or time DOES have slots instead of reporting a dead end.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
area	string	Optional. Same geographic resolution as search_slots — borough, neighbourhood, region, postcode or venue name. Omit to see every area.
sport	string	One of Football, Tennis, Squash, Padel, Swimming.
date_to	string	ISO date or datetime — latest start. Defaults to 7 days out.
time_to	string	London-local latest start time of day, 'HH:MM'.
date_from	string	ISO date or datetime — earliest start. Defaults to now.
max_price	number	Maximum price in GBP.
time_from	string	London-local earliest start time of day, 'HH:MM'.

search_slots

Search bookable sports slots in London across every provider LayUp aggregates. Use when a user wants to find a court, pitch, lane, class or pickup game for football, tennis, squash, padel or swimming. Filter by sport, area/borough, date range, time of day and max price. Returns upcoming slots with venue, London-local time, price, provider and a booking link. Times default to the next 7 days.

read-only

Argument	Type	Description
area	string	Where to look. Resolved geographically, so any of these work: a borough ('Hackney'), a neighbourhood ('Shoreditch', 'Maida Vale'), a region ('North London', 'Central London'), a postcode or outward code ('W9 2RF', 'SE1'), or a venue name ('Clissold'). Returns venues near the resolved point, not just ones with the word in their name.
limit	integer	Max results to return (1-30, default 15).
sport	string	One of Football, Tennis, Squash, Padel, Swimming.
date_to	string	ISO date or datetime — latest start. Defaults to 7 days out.
time_to	string	London-local latest start time of day, 'HH:MM'.
date_from	string	ISO date or datetime — earliest start. Defaults to now.
max_price	number
