Fish and chips, from your AI assistant

Ask your assistant "where can I get fish and chips?" and it finds chip shops near you, with opening hours, prices and reviews from chippynear.me. Add this URL to your assistant as an MCP server or connector. It's public and needs no sign-in.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

  1. Go to Customize > Connectors and click Add.
  2. Choose Custom > Web, name it fish-and-chips and paste the URL.
  3. Choose no sign in, then click Add.

Free plans allow one custom connector.

Tip: save your location. So it doesn't have to ask where you are each time, tell it your town once. In Settings > General, add a line like "I'm based in Leatherhead, Surrey" to the instructions Claude keeps in mind across chats.
