Use this with an AI assistant

This site also speaks MCP, the protocol AI assistants use to call outside tools. Connect it once and your assistant can answer Louisiana hunting questions from the actual regulations, with a link to the page it read.

Server address

https://gamewarden.kingfish.la/mcp

Streamable HTTP. No account, no API key, no rate limit. Read-only — it cannot change anything, and it collects nothing about you.

What it is good for

Questions that need more than one lookup. "Can I hunt deer with dogs in Catahoula Parish on 15 December?" means finding which deer areas cover Catahoula, checking whether the parish is wholly open or split, and matching the date against the right season. The answer comes back with the printed page and a link, so you can check it.

Try asking:

Can I hunt deer with dogs in Catahoula Parish on 15 December?
What is open on public land in Iberville Parish this weekend?
Which licences do I need to hunt turkey as a non-resident?
What are the rules on baiting near the CWD zone?
What are Sherburne WMA's deer seasons, and does it need a self-clearing permit?

Adding it

Claude

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Paste the server address above. On Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http game-warden https://gamewarden.kingfish.la/mcp

ChatGPT

Settings → Connectors → Add. Choose a remote MCP server and paste the address. Custom connectors need a paid plan, and are configured per workspace.

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed

These read an mcp.json. Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "game-warden": {
      "url": "https://gamewarden.kingfish.la/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json. VS Code: .vscode/mcp.json, under a servers key rather than mcpServers. Zed: the context_servers block in settings.

Anything else

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP works. There is a discovery document at /.well-known/mcp.json. To check it by hand:

curl -X POST https://gamewarden.kingfish.la/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

What it can do

The eight tools an assistant can call, over 93 seasons, 55 areas and 21 licence fees.
Tool	Answers
`find_seasons`	What is open, where, when, and how it may be taken.
`lookup_parish`	Which deer areas cover a parish, and which WMAs sit inside it.
`list_wmas`	Find public land by parish or name.
`get_wma`	One area's seasons, rules, contacts and official map.
`find_licenses`	Which licences a hunt requires, and what they cost.
`search_regulations`	Everything else: weapons, tagging, baiting, CWD, shooting hours.
`get_deer_areas`	The ten deer areas and the parishes each covers.
`data_freshness`	How current this is, and what it does not yet track.

What it will not do

Known gap Rules change mid-season by Declaration of Emergency — chronic wasting disease boundaries, emergency closures, shrimp and oyster openings. Those appear in LDWF news, never in the pamphlet this is built from, and are not tracked yet. Anything time-critical, check with LDWF. The data_freshness tool says the same thing when an assistant asks.

It also covers hunting only, for now. The recreational fishing, commercial fishing, trapping and alligator regulations are fetched and their text is searchable, but their seasons and limits are not yet structured.

Why the citations matter

An assistant that states a bag limit with no source is asking you to trust it about something that carries a fine. Every answer here names the printed page and links to the text, because the point is not that you believe us — it is that you can check.
