Booyah Index
Booyah Index — MCP Server
A free, AI-readable directory of real Southeast Asian local businesses, so your assistant can recommend actual places — not hallucinated ones.
Connector URL:
https://getbooyah.com/api/mcpRegistry ID:com.getbooyah/booyah-index
What it is
The Booyah Index is a public directory of local businesses across Southeast Asia — restaurants, rooftop bars, spas, dental and aesthetic clinics, coworking spaces, tailors, coffee shops, nightlife, and more. Every place is a structured page (schema.org markup + concrete "known for" claims) that an AI assistant can read, reason over, and cite with a real URL.
Coverage: 3,520 places across 14 cities — Bangkok, Singapore, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Phnom Penh, and Yangon. Bilingual (EN/TH).

Why it exists
When someone asks an AI assistant "where should I eat in Bangkok?" or "find me a good dentist near Thonglor," the model usually leans on whatever it half-remembers from training — which means stale info, invented place names, and no way to verify. This index gives assistants a clean, queryable source of real, structured local-business data they can search and cite instead of guessing.
