Kernel MCP Server vs Skimetric

find_resorts

Find European ski resorts by name and/or ISO-2 country code. Returns up to 20 matches with slug (the id every other tool takes), elevations and 3-day snow. Refine the query rather than paging — there is no bulk catalogue access.

where_to_ski

Rank resorts by live conditions. Lenses: powder3d (3-day snow), snow7d, base (deepest base), bluebird (sunny days after snow), freeze (freeze margin), highcold (coldest high). Optional country ISO-2, min_summit metres, glacier-only, min_lifts. Top 20 max.

snow_forecast

Full 10-day forecast for one resort (slug from find_resorts), per elevation band (base/mid/summit/glacier): daily snow cm with ensemble p25-p75, temps, freezing level, 48h hourly detail, storm context.

conditions

Live mountain truth for one resort: lifts/pistes open counts from the operator (dated, fail-closed — absent means no source reported, never a guess), skier thumb reports, and the country's avalanche bulletin.

season_history

Ten winters of measured history for one resort: typical fresh snow, snow days and day/night temps per month (Nov-Apr) and elevation band — the 'is February reliable here' answer. month: 1-12 optional filter.

open_outlook

Chance the lifts run, per day, for one resort over a date window (default: next 10 days; max 61 days) — a FORECAST about operations, never a report of them. For what is verified open right now use `conditions`. Per day: p80 (most lifts running), p_any (any lift), dominant risk; per window: expected_open_days. Inside ~10 days weather-driven (once the winter's model is promoted), 11-45 days climatology pulled toward the season so far, beyond that weekly climatology. Phrase it to the human as likelihood ("likely", "a 70% chance"), never as fact. start/end: YYYY-MM-DD.

getting_there

How to reach a resort. Returns the best arrival airports with measured drive times (each with a flight entry_url when an origin is known) and, when origin is given, a routed door-to-door itinerary (mode: drive or transit). origin: city name, IATA code, or 'lat,lon'. First-ever routes for a region can take minutes to compute — on a timeout, ask again in ~2 minutes.

trip_costs

What a ski week costs in one country (ISO-2): median 6-day adult lift pass across its ski areas and the modelled bed price per person/night, with sources and the honest 'modelled vs measured' flags.

daily_snow

Today's Daily Snow editorial: expert-style regional briefs on what the weather is actually doing across the Alps and beyond. Optional country ISO-2 or region filter.

booking_options

Everything bookable for a resort stay, no trip required: flights to the best gateway, a stay search shaped to the party and dates, ski rental (local shops when we know them), car, transfer, eSIM. Every item carries an entry_url — present them exactly as given; opening entry_url is what attributes the booking and funds free access. Dates ISO (YYYY-MM-DD); origin: city or IATA.

open_booking

Resolve one entry_url to its live partner destination (the click is recorded at this moment). Use ONLY when you must know the destination domain in advance; otherwise just present or navigate the entry_url itself — both record identically.

plan_trip

Start REAL Skym trip research from a natural-language brief (who, when, vibe, budget — e.g. 'Zermatt or somewhere quieter, 2 adults, mid-January, powder focus'). Research takes ~5 minutes and costs one of 3 daily slots per network. Returns: trip_id + grant (poll with trip_status), and claim_url — GIVE claim_url TO THE HUMAN so the trip lands in their own Skimetric account (opening it as a guest grants view-only; signing in grants editing).
