  - query: ASCE Hazard Tool API MCP server
    result: >-
      No hosted or local MCP server is published by ASCE. Nothing in the ASCE
      Hazard Tool API documentation, the Swagger UI at api-hazard.asce.org/docs,
      or any registry names an ASCE MCP endpoint or package.

  note: >-
    Nobody ships an MCP server for this API. The tool list below is a candidate
    derived from the eight operations in the harvested OpenAPI so an agent
    builder can see the shape; it is not a surface ASCE operates. `auth` records
    what a real server would need — the `token` query-parameter API key.

    Candidate MCP tool surface over the ASCE Hazard Loads API: site-specific
    ASCE 7 / ASCE 41 environmental design hazard lookups by latitude and
    longitude for the United States and territories.

notes:
  - >-
    Every operation is a read. There is no mutating surface, so an MCP server
    over this API would need no write-consequence classification.
  - >-
    Input schemas are taken verbatim from the provider's own OpenAPI parameter
    definitions; nothing here was invented.
