`@pipeworx/mcp-openholidays` via Pipeworx remote gateway (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openholidays/mcp) — 16 calls across all 4 tools, 100% success, p50=375ms (network-bound).

4 tools:

  • list_countries({language}) — 36 countries (30 European + BR, MX, ZA, BY, MD, SM, VA)
  • public_holidays({country, valid_from, valid_to, language}) — statutory public holidays with subdivision detail
  • school_holidays({country, valid_from, valid_to, subdivision_code, language}) — term breaks (Christmas, Easter, spring, summer, autumn)
  • list_subdivisions({country, language}) — regional codes for drilling into school/public holidays

Key gotchas:

  • ⚠️ BROADER THAN "EUROPE-FOCUSED": description says ~30 European countries but actually covers 36 including Brazil, Mexico, South Africa
  • ⚠️ Language parameter has NO effect on holiday NAMES: public_holidays(MX, language="es") still returns "New Year's Day" not "Año Nuevo". Similarly list_countries(language="fr") returns "Germany" not "Allemagne"
  • ⚠️ Invalid country codes return empty SILENTLY (count:0, no error) — same for unsupported date ranges
  • ⚠️ Switzerland has sub-canton-level subdivision codes (e.g., SO-DE, AG-RF-OB, AG-RF-SU) — much more granular than just 26 cantons
  • ⚠️ NL has extremely granular subdivision codes (OV-SW, NH-HU, DR-TY etc.) — hundreds of sub-regions
  • ⚠️ Brazil public_holidays in February returns 0 — Carnival is not a statutory public holiday
  • ⚠️ School holidays return DUPLICATE entries for same subdivision (Zurich Easter appears twice with same dates)
  • German summer holidays staggered by state: Saarland starts Jun 29, NW starts Jul 20, Bavaria starts Aug 3
  • Mexico school_holidays returns "End of lessons" Jul 15 as a single entry
  • South Africa: 13 public holidays all nationwide (Human Rights Day, Freedom Day, Youth Day, Heritage Day, etc.)
  • Gateway has 100 req/day anonymous rate limit (shared across all Pipeworx gateways per IP)
