Tools

All three are read-only (readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: false).

Tool	What it does
recommander_raquettes	Up to 3 rackets ranked by fit to a profile: level (required), style, weight, how often you play, budget. Same engine as the site's quiz.
chercher_raquettes	Search by name (brand, model, player) or by criteria: brand, level, shape, price range, weight, women or junior range. 10 results per page.
voir_raquettes	Specifications of 1 to 4 rackets (shape, level, weight, balance, core, face), other versions and alternatives; a side-by-side table for 2 to 4.

Example prompts: examples/prompts.md.

What the data is

• Specifications come from the brands' official product pages.
• Prices are the last ones collected by hand on the brands' official stores. They are not offers and may have changed: check the racket page before buying. How and how often they are collected: https://padelexpertlab.com/methode/#mise-a-jour
• The catalogue covers the racket pages that are complete on the site (267 rackets from 21 brands on 9 November 2026). It is not exhaustive.
• Every answer ends with a link to a page of padelexpertlab.com (racket page or comparator) to see photos and compare visually. No shop link, no affiliate link.

What it does not do

• It never asks about your arm or your health; such a criterion is refused.
• It does not rate rackets. A recommendation shows a percentage of fit with your profile, not a quality score.
• It asks nothing about you: no account, no name, no email.
• It writes nothing. Only an anonymous counter of calls (day, tool, client family) is kept, with no IP address and no arguments. Details: https://padelexpertlab.com/confidentialite/

Bulk or systematic extraction of the catalogue through the server is not allowed without written consent (§ 8 of the terms of use). Your assistant rephrases the answers and can be wrong.

Padel Expert Lab est un comparateur de raquettes de padel gratuit, pour la France et la Belgique. Ce serveur MCP en lecture seule donne à ton assistant IA trois outils sur le catalogue du site : recommander jusqu'à 3 raquettes selon ton profil (niveau, style, poids, fréquence de jeu, budget ; même moteur que le quiz), chercher des raquettes par nom ou par critères, et voir les caractéristiques de 1 à 4 raquettes côte à côte.

• Adresse : https://padelexpertlab.com/api/mcp/ (avec la barre oblique à la fin), sans compte ni clé.
• Documentation complète : https://padelexpertlab.com/connecteur-ia/
• Caractéristiques : celles des fiches officielles des marques.
• Prix : le dernier prix relevé à la main sur la boutique officielle de la marque. Ce n'est pas une offre, et il peut avoir changé.
• Aucun lien de boutique ni lien d'affiliation : chaque réponse renvoie vers une page de padelexpertlab.com.
• Aucune question sur le bras ni la santé, aucune note, aucun compte.

Pourquoi : Bryan, qui publie le site, joue au padel en débutant et a eu du mal à choisir sa raquette.
