What your AI can do with Dish Directory
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_listings”: Search published restaurants by text, place and category.”
“Use “get_listing”: Get one published restaurant by its slug.”
“Use “list_places”: List countries, regions and cities that have restaurants.”
“Use “list_categories”: List categories with their restaurant counts.”
How secure is the Dish Directory MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Dish Directory holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Dish Directory (dishdirectory.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Dish Directory adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

https://dishdirectory.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Dish Directory MCP server?
Yes — Dish Directory operates its own remote MCP server at dishdirectory.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Dish Directory to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Dish Directory in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Dish Directory's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Dish Directory runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Dish Directory MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Dish Directory in minutes. No credit card required.
