  note: >-
    Documentation, the OpenAPI and the MCP reference are all public and unauthenticated. Keys are
    not self-service — both the REST docs and the MCP page route "Get an API key" to a sales
    contact form. Platform tiers publish named prices ($1,200 / $2,520 / $4,000 per month) with a
    14-day trial on the lower two; the MCP page publishes a separate ladder starting at $0. The two
    ladders disagree about what API access costs — recorded in plans/alphaloops-plans-pricing.yml.

- name: AlphaLoops MCP Server
  description: >-
    Hosted remote Model Context Protocol server exposing 2.7M U.S. motor carriers as tools for LLM clients
    (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Clay). Advertises 30+ tools across six categories
    — lookup, search, scoring, safety, risk and contacts — of which 24 are named publicly. Bearer-token
    auth over MCP URL transport (HTTPS + SSE); tool schemas are header-pinned via X-AlphaLoops-Version.
    An unauthenticated tools/list returns 401, so live tool schemas are gated.
