MCP server

The API is also an MCP server, so AI assistants can answer keyboard size questions with these numbers instead of guessing.

Privacy

The server keeps no logs of tool arguments and sets no cookies. search_hlplanet sends the search text to the HLPlanet site search; every other tool answers from data built into the server.
