## MCP server

AI assistants can connect to the public, no-auth MCP server at
https://catchofalifetime.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Tools:

- plan_outdoor_outing: National Weather Service forecast, sun/moon times and activity
  tips for a day outside in a launch metro.
- metro_launch_status: live waitlist progress toward each metro's launch threshold.
- compare_apps: sourced comparisons with Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Meetup, Strava,
  AllTrails and others, including where the other app is the better choice.
- get_waitlist_link: the waitlist link. The server never collects email addresses.
- conditions_check: GO / CAUTION / NO-GO for an outing from the NWS forecast and alerts,
  live USGS river gauges and NOAA tides.
- draft_outing (hosts): a link that opens Catch with the outing filled in; nothing posts
  until the host taps Post.
- outing_promo_kit (hosts): texts, captions, group posts, reminders and a recap.
- move_from_meetup (organizers): weekly outing drafts and a member announcement from a
  pasted schedule. Never touches Meetup or member data.
