- AI agent and MCP developers
- Worth noticing
- The example combines a Montana location filter with a verified-seller need; claim verification is explicitly opt-in.
Field notes
The listed interface includes six MCP tools and parallel HTTP routes, from querying and explaining rankings to retrieving site and claim records. Queries can combine weighted filters, and the example pairs a clothing category with a Montana location. Site owners can publish ALP metadata themselves or ask the router to draft it from their pages and schema.org markup; the page says self-published metadata scores higher.
