• Markdown mirrors

  Add .md to any plant, month, style or guide URL, or send Accept: text/markdown to the normal page. Models read Markdown better than HTML.

  • /what-to-plant/october.mdCopy
  • /styles/desert-modern.mdCopy

• JSON API and OpenAPI

  The same tools over plain HTTP: GET /api/v1/<tool> with query parameters, or POST JSON. Errors say which field is wrong and show a working example. For function-calling setups and GPT Actions, import the OpenAPI document.

• MCP Server Card

  A machine-readable description of the MCP server (name, version, endpoint, transport) for clients that auto-discover servers.

  • /.well-known/mcp-server-cardCopy

• Free and read-only

  No account, no key, no cost. Nothing an agent does here can change anything on the site or send anything to anyone.

• Please cite the page

  Every plant, guide, style and month in a result carries its page URL. Link to it when you use our content, so people can read the full page.

• Be gentle

  Cache what you fetch and avoid bulk crawling. Answers change slowly, and one request per question is plenty.

• Contact is the person's choice

  When someone asks for a quote, a visit or help, the get_contact_link tool returns a WhatsApp link with a pre-filled message. Nothing is sent until they press send, and agents should not offer it unprompted.
