## Agent & MCP discovery

- [llms-full.txt](https://www.shermanpolebuildings.com/llms-full.txt): Comprehensive Markdown export of Sherman business facts, service area, building types, services, FAQs, CTAs, and key pages for LLM ingestion.
- [MCP discovery manifest](https://www.shermanpolebuildings.com/.well-known/mcp.json): Well-known MCP manifest advertising the read-only MCP endpoint and capabilities.
- [MCP JSON-RPC endpoint](https://www.shermanpolebuildings.com/api/mcp/): Read-only Model Context Protocol endpoint. GET returns an info document; POST accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 requests. Call the `list_capabilities` tool for the full capability map.
- Service area: all of Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin, with primary focus within a 200-mile radius of Mora, MN 55051.
- Phase 3 (current) verifies and hardens the Phase 2 surface: global browser tools on every page via `window.__shermanMCP`; page-scoped tools register on specific routes (quote form focus, gallery list/open/copy, contact hours/directions/call, per-page FAQ lookup). Key CTAs, forms, FAQ blocks, and gallery grids carry `data-webmcp-kind` / `data-webmcp-id` / `data-webmcp-label` landmark attributes.
- Phase 3 adds a repeatable smoke-test pair: `npm run smoke:mcp` (JSON-RPC + manifest checks) and `npm run smoke:webmcp` (Playwright + headless Chromium against /quote-request/, /barndominiums-gallery/, /contact-pole-barn-contractors/, and a representative FAQ page). Tel: / mailto: navigation is blocked at the Playwright route level so tests cannot fire real side effects.
- Hard guardrail across Phases 1–3: no MCP or WebMCP tool submits a GHL form, creates a lead, writes to Sanity, or advertises pricing. UI side effects are limited to scroll, focus, opening the existing gallery lightbox, clipboard writes, and tel:/mailto: navigation.
