Ask an AI assistant about Love Dumfries
You can plug Love Dumfries straight into Claude, ChatGPT or whichever AI assistant you use. Once connected, it looks things up here as you chat — so what it tells you about Dumfries comes from our listings today, not from whatever it happens to remember.
It's free, there's nothing to sign up for, and it works the same whether you run a business in town or you're visiting for the weekend.
Things worth asking
Ask in your own words — you don't need to phrase it in any particular way. These are the kinds of questions it can answer from our listings.
“What's on in Dumfries this weekend?”
Upcoming events, with dates, venues and who is running them.
“Any live music in Dumfries over the next fortnight?”
Searches events by what they are as well as when.
“Find me a bike shop in Dumfries and tell me when it opens.”
Businesses, charities and community groups, with opening hours.
“What birds should I look out for around Dumfries in October?”
The wildlife guide, month by month.
How to connect it
Wherever your assistant keeps its connectors — some call them integrations, apps or custom MCP servers — choose to add a new one and give it this address:
Server address
https://lovedumfries.co.uk/mcp
No username, password or API key. If you're asked to choose a name for it, “Love Dumfries” will do.
Claude and ChatGPT
Open your settings and look for Connectors. Add a custom connector, paste the address above, and save. You may need to allow the assistant to use it the first time you ask a question about Dumfries.
Anything else
Any assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol can use it. If yours is configured with a file rather than a settings screen, it wants an HTTP server entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"love-dumfries": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://lovedumfries.co.uk/mcp"
}
}
}Then just ask. A good first question is “what's on in Dumfries this week?” — if the answer names real events with dates, it's working.
What it will and won't do
It's read-only
An assistant can look things up. It cannot add, change or delete anything on Love Dumfries, and it can't see anything that isn't already published on the website.
No email addresses
If an organisation can be contacted by email, the assistant will point you to its page on this site.
Wildlife stays where it is
Precise locations for particualr species are never given out.
A few at a time
Searches return up to 20 results, and your connection will be limited. It's built for looking things up in conversation, not for copying the directory wholesale.
If you run an organisation in Dumfries
Your listing is included automatically once it's published — there's nothing to opt into. That means when someone asks an assistant for what you do in Dumfries, you're among the answers, and the assistant is told to cite your page on this site.
It also means an out-of-date listing is now out of date in more places than one. Opening hours, your description and your upcoming events are all worth keeping current.
