Details
From the project READMERootz MCP Servers
Registry entries for the Rootz family of AI-native, origin-verified data services, published to the official Model Context Protocol registry.
Each server exposes a live MCP endpoint (https://<service>.rootz.global/mcp) that AI agents can call for verified, primary-source data — companies, US politics, vehicles, shipping, rentals, and timeshares. Where a dataset is cryptographically signed, its records verify to a signed origin; where it is not, that is stated plainly.

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.
