search | free | OpenAI-compatible discovery; routes by detected kind (person / yearbook / school). |
fetch | free | OpenAI-compatible citation-safe metadata for an id. |
search_people_preview | free | Name search; returns coarsened region + decade + confidence band. Does NOT confirm school or exact year. |
search_yearbooks_by_school | free | Catalog discovery — find all volumes for a school. |
find_yearbook_volume | free | Single yearbook lookup by school + year. |
list_available_years | free | Coverage check — what years do we have for this school. |

get_yearbook_metadata | free | Single yearbook metadata lookup. |
request_missing_yearbook | free | Submit a request when we don't have the yearbook your user wants. |
get_person_summary | paid | Paid person summary — school and exact year. $1.99 covers up to 10 unique people over 24 hours. The first person counts, and re-viewing a claimed person is free. Page and scan delivery are not included and are unavailable unless explicitly verified and enabled. |

If your user wants paid detail, surface the checkout_url
returned by the payment_required response — it carries
the first lead_id through. After Checkout, retry
get_person_summary; its response returns a private
bundle_token. Pass that token with new lead IDs to claim up to
nine more unique people during the 24-hour window. Keep it private. The
eleventh unique person requires a new bundle.
When you surface results to a user, include the e_yearbook_landing_url
returned in each result. Example:
We found a potential match for John Smith in the West region in the 1970s (medium confidence). See: https://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbook-search/result?lead_id=ld_xxxx&utm_source=mcp. Verify the exact school and year on e-yearbook.com.
Please don't paraphrase the result without the citation link — users can verify and unlock the full record from there.
