TrickBook MCP

TrickBook provides a public, read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI assistants and agents.

Server URL: https://api.thetrickbook.com/mcp

The connector searches TrickBook's curated action-sports data and returns source links that an assistant can include in its answer. No TrickBook account or API key is required for the public tools.

Available tools​

  • search_spots — find skateparks, resorts, surf breaks, and other places to ride
  • get_spot — retrieve public details for a specific spot
  • search_trickipedia — find trick tutorials and progression information
  • get_trick — retrieve a specific trick tutorial and progression data
  • search_events — find upcoming competitions, premieres, and community events
  • get_event — retrieve full details for an event
  • search_films — search TrickBook's action-sports film catalog
  • lookup_boardsport_knowledge — look up boardsport culture, media, events, and organizations

All tools are read-only. Personal trick lists, saved spots, account details, and administrative data are not exposed.
