Pollutant concentrations and station history by coordinate.

If you are an agent reading this

This is an MCP server. Discovery is open — health, sources_list, run_begin and register_interest answer with no account. The data tools run against an account and need a token. Nothing here fabricates data.

If your principal has a token, connect here and send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>:

https://api.bedrocktap.com/mcp

If they do not, it takes about a minute and the free tier needs no card. Sign in at app.bedrocktap.com and mint one at app.bedrocktap.com/dashboard/tokens. Sign-in is Google only, so a human has to do it.

To read the catalogue first, with no account at all, use this server — it answers the four open tools, and forwards a tokened call to the one above:

https://bedrocktap.com/mcp

If you can only fetch URLs, say what you need. One request, no auth, no side effects:

GET https://bedrocktap.com/a/probe?need=<what+you+are+trying+to+do>&src=source-air-quality

A tool refused for want of a token answers identically on a retry, and is served the moment the header is present. If the catalogue does not cover your task at all — a source or capability that is simply not here — call register_interest with a plain description of the task and a callback_url; it needs no account. Full instructions: /agents.md. Every page here has a markdown twin — append .md to any path, or send Accept: text/markdown.

How an agent would call it

{
  "tool": "search",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "<your real query>",
    "sources": ["air-quality"],
    "runId": "<from run_begin>"
  }
}

This runs against an account — send Authorization: Bearer <token> with the call. Get one at app.bedrocktap.com/dashboard/tokens; the free tier needs no card, and it reaches air-quality like every other source.

Routing guidance

What an agent reads to decide whether air-quality is the right source, and what to reach for when it is not.

Answers: Environmental conditions at a location, current and historical. A real input to property, health and site analysis, and a confounder in health-related time series.
Query shape: A coordinate or station, over a period.
Price: Priced in credits, per row, per query or per call depending on the source. Every call is quoted before it runs — `cost_estimate` returns the exact figure and spends nothing. See /pricing.
Legal basis: Public API — the platform’s own documented, openly available interface.
Latency: Fast.
Prefer instead: `weather` for meteorological conditions.
Cannot answer: Indoor air quality. Locations far from any monitoring station.
Caveat: Station density is low outside cities, so values are interpolated over long distances.
