Calls to Private Clubs cost nothing. This page covers the data license, how the API pages results, the rate limit headers and the limits on the MCP server.

​
Pricing

Calls to the Private Clubs MCP server and API are free, with no account or API key needed. Searching, saving, comparing and enquiring with clubs on theprivateclubs.com are free too. Business plans for clubs, brands and creators are on the pricing page.

​
Data license

Under the data license, non-commercial use is free with attribution. Commercial use, bulk data access and API integrations beyond the public endpoints need a commercial license, and the license page gives the contact.

​
API page size

Stop paging when page * limit reaches total. A page past the last one, however large, returns 200 with an empty clubs array and the real total.

​
Rate limit headers

Every API response sends these two headers:
They advertise a policy of 120 requests per 60 seconds. Keep within 120 requests a minute. The values are the same on every response, so do not read remaining as a live count. If a request fails with a 500 or 503, wait and retry with backoff.

​
MCP limits

The MCP server has no request rate limit. When a search needs more than 25 or 100 clubs, use the API with paging. See Troubleshooting for the exact error messages.
