Endpoint

MCP URL: https://www.webcamexplore.com/api/mcp

Transport: JSON-RPC over HTTP

Result limits: list-style tools default to 10 results and are safely capped at 20.

This endpoint is intended for AI tools, agents, and integrations that support MCP.

Note: the MCP endpoint expects POST JSON-RPC requests. Opening /api/mcp directly in a browser can return 405; use the discovery JSON or the curl checks below instead.
