Searches BC Parks campsites and day-use passes by date, equipment type, and amenities. Returns real-time availability across all parks, weather forecasts, alerts, and direct links to official BC Parks reservations. Never books on your behalf.

Example request: "Find a campsite for a 32-foot RV with electrical hookup near Vancouver for the long weekend."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Parks Open to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://parksopen.ca/api/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- parksopen_search_campsites: Use this when exact dates or equipment fit matter, for questions like 'is X available', 'find a site for the long weekend', or 'which parks have space for a 32 ft RV'. It reads observed campsite availability across Canadian park reservation systems (BC Parks today) from public re
- parksopen_park_availability_calendar: Use this when the user asks 'when is X free', 'how busy is X', or 'which weekend should I try' for ONE named park. It returns nightly open counts for the next 8 weeks, whole-stay counts for four weekends, fill rate, and booking rules. For exact equipment fit or specific dates acr
- parksopen_find_open_parks: Use this when the user has not named a park and wants PARKS ranked by soonest opening or estimated drive time, such as 'where can I camp this weekend' or 'anything near Vancouver with space'. It uses the default tent-compatible inventory and can filter confirmed amenities. Do not
- parksopen_check_alerts: Use this when checking current closures, fire bans, advisories, or nearby wildfires for one park or system-wide. Run it before recommending a park in summer; these are 'verify before you travel' notices, never a booking or safety claim.
- parksopen_check_weather: Use this when the user asks about forecast conditions or air quality at a named park. It returns the Environment Canada forecast (daily high/low/conditions, about 6 days) and AQHI for the nearest station; if the park is beyond range it says so and never invents temperatures.
- parksopen_check_day_passes: Use this when the user asks whether a BC Parks day-use pass is required, available, sold out, not released yet, or closed for a date, park, access area, or AM/PM slot. It returns every tracked access area and time slot for the requested parks across the live three-day booking win
- parksopen_park_info: Use this when the user asks about reservation policy, fees, pets, fires, facilities, or park descriptions, such as 'does X allow dogs' or 'when do reservations open'. It returns slower-changing facts from the provider's published pages with sources. Do not use it for availability
- parksopen_get_booking_link: Use this when a search is complete, or when the user already knows the park and dates, to create a deterministic official reservation link with park, dates, and equipment pre-filled. The user completes the booking there; Parks Open never books, holds sites, takes payment, or trea
