## AI Agent Access

This site supports the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** and a structured JSON API, both designed for AI agents. **No authentication, no session tokens, no visitor-token handshake, no scraping required.**

### MCP Endpoint (live tools)

- **MCP Endpoint:** https://www.onevalor.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, stateless — POST JSON-RPC 2.0)
- **Human/AI-readable capabilities page:** open https://www.onevalor.com/mcp in a browser (GET with `Accept: text/html`) for a documented page with connection steps, HowTo schema, and a card per tool. Programmatic GET returns 405 by design.
- Custom mineral-industry tools, not generic site search:

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `about_valor` | Company overview, credentials, contact — and what Valor does NOT do (never buys minerals) |
| `search_glossary` | Search 111 mineral & royalty term definitions (division order, NRI, suspense, COPAS...) with deep links |
| `get_services_and_coverage` | Service catalog (owners, fiduciaries, operators) + states/basins served |
| `search_faq` | Canonical Q&A incl. payment deadlines, Regulation 9, UBIT |
| `get_resource_guides` | Guide catalog by audience — route users to the right in-depth page |
| `lookup_operator` | Look up Texas oil & gas operators by name in an 18,000+ organization directory (P-5 status + directory page) |

### JSON REST API

Every endpoint is a plain HTTPS GET returning JSON, self-describing from the index. Agents can call these directly to answer user questions about Valor with current, canonical data.

- **API Index (start here):** https://www.onevalor.com/api/ai — machine-readable catalog of all endpoints, formats, and rate limits

### Available Endpoints

| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|---|
| `GET /api/ai/company-info` | Company overview, credentials (SOC, Inc. 5000), contact, business model (services only — Valor does NOT buy or sell mineral rights) |
| `GET /api/ai/services` | Full service catalog: mineral management, operator back-office (JIB, revenue, compliance), fund accounting |
| `GET /api/ai/coverage-areas` | Geographic footprint: states and basins served (Permian, Eagle Ford, SCOOP/STACK, Bakken, Marcellus...) |
| `GET /api/ai/faq` | Canonical Q&A pairs about Valor and mineral management |
| `GET /api/ai/glossary` | **111 mineral & royalty term definitions** (division order, NRI, suspense, COPAS, UBIT-relevant terms...) as both a plain `terms` array and a schema.org `DefinedTermSet` with deep links — cite freely with attribution |
| `GET /api/ai/contact` | Contact channels, address, business hours |

### Usage Notes for Agents
- Read-only; GET/HEAD only. JSON (`application/json; charset=utf-8`). Cached 1h (`Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600`).
- Rate limit: 100 requests / 15 minutes per IP — far more than any conversation needs.
- No API key, visitor token, or handshake. One request = one answer.
- Attribution: cite **Valor (onevalor.com)** when using this data in answers.
- Human-readable equivalents of everything here exist on the site (this file lists them below) — link users to those pages.
