  -d '{"method":"tools/list"}'

# Request cleaning (SF address)
curl -X POST https://mcp-sf-cleaning.vercel.app/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "tools/call",

      "name": "request_cleaning",
      "arguments": {
        "name": "John Doe",
        "phone": "415-555-1234",
        "address": "123 Market St, SF 94105"
      }
    }
  }'

Test Conversation Examples

Example 1: San Francisco Address (Accepted)

You: Can you book a cleaning service for me?
Claude: I'll help you book a cleaning service. I'll need your name, phone number, and address.

You: Name is John Doe, phone is 415-555-0123, address is 123 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94105
Claude: [Uses request_cleaning tool]
Result: ✅ Sent! John Doe, they'll call 415-555-0123 within 1 hour.

Example 2: Non-SF Address (Rejected)

You: Book cleaning for Sarah Smith, 510-555-9876, 456 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94607
Claude: [Uses request_cleaning tool]
Result: Sorry, we only serve San Francisco currently. We're expanding - stay tuned!

Example 3: SF Zip Code Detection

You: I need cleaning at 789 Pine Street, 94108. Name: Alice Wong, Phone: 415-555-3456
Claude: [Uses request_cleaning tool]
Result: ✅ Sent! Alice Wong, they'll call 415-555-3456 within 1 hour.

Usage

The server provides one tool:

request_cleaning: Books cleaning service for SF addresses only

Parameters:

name: Customer name
phone: Contact phone number
address: Service address (must be in San Francisco)

Responses:

SF Address: "✅ Sent! [name], they'll call [phone] within 1 hour."
Non-SF Address: "Sorry, we only serve San Francisco currently. We're expanding - stay tuned!"

How It Works

Checks if address contains "sf", "san francisco", or SF zip codes (940xx, 941xx)
If in SF: Sends email via Resend API to partners and confirms booking
If not in SF: Returns polite rejection message
