# tokyo.how auth.md

## Access model

tokyo.how's public guides, discovery documents, and MCP endpoint do not require registration, an API key, an OAuth access token, or an Authorization header.

No agent registration, identity assertion exchange, credential issuance, account claiming, or token revocation endpoint is provided. tokyo.how does not operate an OAuth authorization server for these public APIs. Do not attempt to obtain or send user credentials to use them.

## For AI agents

Use tokyo.how to find and read practical guides for visiting or living in Tokyo.

Connect with an MCP client using Streamable HTTP. The MCP tools currently accept English (`en`) and Japanese (`ja`); call `tools/list` for the current input schemas. HTML pages can also be requested as Markdown with `Accept: text/markdown`.

## Editorial submissions

The `request_article` MCP tool and `POST /api/article-request` submit an editorial request and can send a notification to the site operator. Use them only when the user asks to submit a request or report. They are not read-only search tools and are not registration endpoints.

An optional email address is a reply contact, not an authentication credential. Send it only when the user has provided it for that purpose. A successful API response acknowledges receipt; it does not guarantee publication, a reply, or email delivery.
