Navigi for developers and AI assistants

MCP (Model Context Protocol), streamable HTTP, no sign-in: https://api.navigi.ca/v1/mcp. Add it by URL; there is nothing to install.

Four tools, all read-only:

• find_services: services for a need in a community.
• services_near: services for a need near a point.
• get_community: what a community has.
• list_needs: the needs you can ask for.

Every answer carries the listing's page URL and the date that listing's own website was last checked. Nothing about the person asking is stored.

• API: https://api.navigi.ca/v1, described by OpenAPI 3.1 at /v1/openapi.json.
• Per-province bulk exports: /v1/export, and on the site at /{province}/export.ndjson.gz (one listing per line).
• Per-community feeds: /{province}/{community}/data.json and points.geojson; the index of every community is at /ca/communities.json.
• Coverage dataset (CSV): /coverage.csv, one row per census subdivision.

See How to cite: the listing's name, its page on navigi.ca, and the date it was checked.

Cache responses. Keep to 60 requests a minute per client; for bulk needs use the exports rather than the API. Write to navigi@helpseeker.org if you need more.

Requests are not tied to the person asking; see Privacy. Use of the site and the API is under the terms of use.
