Details
From the project READMEAnswering Service Care agent skills
Skills, an Agent Plugin, and MCP server configuration that let AI agents research Answering Service Care (ASC): a 24/7 US-based answering service with live and AI receptionists for small and mid-sized businesses.
Everything here is read-only and needs no account or API key. Agents use it to answer questions like "which answering service plan fits 300 minutes a month?" with ASC's live pricing instead of guessing.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
