alltrails

alltrails is a skill for Claude Code from chrischall/alltrails-mcp. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,979 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only connection to AllTrails, a service for finding and reviewing hiking trails. It can access trail information, reviews, photos, weather, and selected data from a signed-in account.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding trails, checking details and reviews, viewing photos and weather, and reading saved trails, completed hikes, or activity feeds.
Why use it?
It gathers hiking information without manually searching AllTrails page by page. It requires a browser tab and may stop working if AllTrails changes its internal service.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alltrails scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

alltrails-mcp

Unofficial MCP server for AllTrails — read-only access to trail search, details, reviews, photos, weather, and a signed-in user's saved lists / completed trails / activity feed.

⚠️ AllTrails has no public API. This server reverse-engineers the internal one used by alltrails.com, which is fronted by DataDome bot protection and governed by AllTrails' Terms of Service. It may break at any time, and automated use may violate their ToS. Use at your own discretion for your own account.

Setup

Add to .mcp.json in your project or ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alltrails": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "alltrails-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Every API request routes through the fetchproxy browser bridge — it runs as a same-origin fetch inside your signed-in alltrails.com tab (DataDome fingerprints Node-originated requests, so there is no stored-cookie mode). Requirements: the fetchproxy Transporter extension installed, a signed-in alltrails.com tab open, and a one-time pair-code approval on first use. The x-at-key app key is never stored in code or config — it is captured live from the tab's own API traffic and held in memory only.

Tools

view — slim by default

Every tool marked view? below answers in one of two shapes, and the cheap one is what you get for free:

  • view: "compact" (the default) — a slim projection of just the fields you act on. Each tool's row says exactly which.
  • view: "full" — AllTrails' whole untouched record.

You do not pass anything to get the compact answer. Reach for view: "full" only when you need a field the projection drops — most often route geometry from alltrails_get_trail.

view is not detail. alltrails_get_trail also takes a detail (basic/medium/offline) argument, and that one is forwarded to AllTrails — it decides what the API sends us. view decides what we hand back to you. Full route geometry needs both: detail: "offline" to fetch it and view: "full" to keep it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
