For AI Assistants and Agents

Live

This site exposes its solar-proposal review as a callable capability for AI assistants and agents through a WebMCP interface, using the Model Context Protocol over JSON-RPC 2.0. Agents can call the tool to submit quote details and receive a structured clarity review in return — the same second-opinion analysis the web experience provides.

initialize, tools/list, and tools/call. The endpoint is publicly accessible with CORS enabled and returns valid JSON.

  • analyze_solar_quote — submit a proposal’s pricing, financing, system, battery, and installer details and receive a Quote Clarity Score (0–100), red flags, missing information, questions to ask, and a recommended next step.
  • get_scoring_methodology — return the fixed scoring dimensions, point weights, and rating thresholds.
  • get_supported_regions — return the supported California city editions and their electric utilities.

Results are educational decision-support only — not legal, tax, financial, engineering, or contracting advice — and do not guarantee savings or endorse any installer.
