Tools & capabilities

Crowntowncompost MCP tools 11

  • crowntown_healthcheckConfirm credentials are configured, log in to the Crown Town Compost portal, fetch the dashboard, and report {authenticated, account_status, service_addresses}. On failure, error.kind says which hop broke: no_credential (nothing configured), credential_rejected (the portal refused the username/password), session_expired (a supplied session cookie is no longer honoured), edge_blocked (a CDN/WAF refused the request before the portal saw it, so the credentials were never judged), timeout, transport or http. Read-only; never returns the credentials.
  • crowntown_get_dashboardGet your Crown Town Compost dashboard: account status, active subscription (plan, price, renewal date), next service date, service address(es) and their pickup day(s), and your composting environmental impact (lbs diverted, seedlings, miles offset, gallons of gas). Read-only.
  • crowntown_get_accountGet your account contact details (first name, last name, phone) and notification preferences (email reminders, service notifications). Read-only — use crowntown_update_account to change them.
  • crowntown_update_accountUpdate your contact details and/or notification preferences. Reads your current account form, changes ONLY the field(s) you specify, and re-saves the rest verbatim. The preview shows the current values and the resulting state. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE).
  • crowntown_list_service_historyList past collection stops for your account — date, status (Success/Missing/Empty/Inaccessible/Unacceptable), collection time, weight, and services rendered. Paginated and filterable by status. Read-only.
  • crowntown_list_upcoming_servicesList upcoming scheduled collection days from the service calendar, each with the identifiers needed to skip it (rid, clid), the service date, and whether it is currently scheduled or already skipped. Read-only — use crowntown_skip_service to actually skip/unskip.
  • crowntown_get_pickup_scheduleGet the pickup schedule for each service address: pickup day(s), next service date, the official set-out-by time, and an observed arrival-time window (earliest/latest/typical and whether it is consistent or varies) derived from the recorded collection times in your service history. Crown Town Compost publishes no guaranteed arrival window, so the observed window is empirical. Read-only.
  • crowntown_skip_serviceSkip (or un-skip) an upcoming collection day. Pass the rid + clid from crowntown_list_upcoming_services. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE).
  • crowntown_list_invoicesList your Crown Town Compost invoices — number, date, amount, status, whether payable, and links (Stripe PDF / receipt / hosted invoice page). Paginated. Read-only.
  • crowntown_report_missed_pickupReport that a scheduled collection was missed. This notifies Crown Town Compost staff. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE).
  • crowntown_contact_supportSend a message to Crown Town Compost customer support. The reply-to email and phone default to the ones the support form pre-fills from your account, and the preview shows the exact values that will be sent. Asks the user to confirm first: a confirmation prompt where the client supports one; otherwise the first call returns a preview and a confirmToken, and only a repeat call with that token proceeds (see MCP_CONFIRM_MODE).
