In development
This package is published so the name is held while the work is planned in the open. It registers one tool,
get_version_info, and does nothing else yet. If you install it expecting a working server, that is what you will find — which is why it says so here, in the server's own instructions, and in the one tool it has.PyPI does not reserve a name for a pending trusted publisher, so a name is only held once something is actually published. Given that, a package that says what it is beats an empty one that does not.
Which contests are running now, what is coming, and the rules, exchange and multipliers for each — with every contest citing the sponsor that published its rules. Named for this project rather than any sponsor: a server covering many sponsors' contests cannot take one sponsor's name.
Planned work, including the data sources it would use and whether each is actually available, is tracked in qso-graph-devel#49.
Part of the qso-graph project.

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.
