get_person_summary returns image_delivery_pending with
no checkout meanwhile. Free preview search is unaffected; legacy summary
entitlements remain viewable (those legacy purchases did not include page images).
Connect any MCP-aware agent to the e-yearbook.com yearbook archive. Free preview answers "is this person in our archive?" New paid purchases are paused until each paid unlock includes a verified exact page-image link; legacy summary entitlements remain viewable.

}'| Tool | Tier | What it does |
|---|---|---|
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_school_collection | free | School record + every yearbook we have for it. |
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. New paid unlocks are paused until each unlock includes a verified exact page-image link: the tool returns image_delivery_pending with no checkout. Legacy summary entitlements remain viewable — those legacy purchases did not include page images. |
get_yearbook_report | paid | Full enriched yearbook profile — organizations, activities, classmates. Separate e-yearbook subscription (not the person-summary product). |
| Field | Free | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Matched query name (echoed) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Coarsened region + decade | ✅ | ✅ |
| Confidence band | ✅ | ✅ |
| Canonical name (DB-normalized) | — | ✅ |
| School name | — | ✅ |
| Exact year + yearbook title | — | ✅ |
| Page numbers / scan links | — | — (unavailable unless the book is verified and the feature is enabled) |
| Classmates | — | ✅ |
| Deep scan URL | — | Separate product; not included |
New paid unlocks are paused until each paid unlock includes a
verified exact page-image link: get_person_summary returns
{"code":"image_delivery_pending","checkout_available":false} with
no checkout_url. Legacy summary entitlements still restore for free —
the legacy bundle covered up to 10 unique people over 24 hours (those legacy
purchases did not include page images). The future paid flow is search result →
$1.99 checkout → exact-occurrence entitlement → exact image link; its bundle size
will be confirmed when the image-ready offer ships.
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.
verification_required envelope; the warehouse is never queried.
