Rollin MCP Server README

ROLLIN MCP Server

Wheelchair accessibility data for 98,000+ US locations, delivered through the Model Context Protocol.

The only wheelchair accessibility data source available through MCP. Search 98,000+ restaurants, cafes, and bars across the US. Get real 0-100 accessibility scores. Submit corrections through natural conversation. One protocol, every platform.

v1.4 — Hosted server. Connect over Streamable HTTP at https://joinrollin.com/api/mcp with nothing to install, or run locally via npx. Trial mode still ships with the package: 5 free requests per session, no API key needed, with progressive nudges to a free key when you're ready.

Nobody should have to call ahead to ask if they can get in the door. ROLLIN puts accessibility data where it actually gets used.

Try It Now — No Key Required

npx rollin-mcp-server

That's it. The server starts in trial mode with 5 free requests. Real data, real scores, no signup. When you're ready for unlimited access, grab a free key at joinrollin.com/portal.

Why MCP?

Model Context Protocol is the open standard for connecting tools to data. No custom integrations. No API wrappers. No glue code.

Build one MCP server → every compatible client gets instant access. Think of it as USB-C for data: one plug, universal compatibility. ROLLIN was one of the first accessibility data providers to ship an MCP server.

If your tool speaks MCP, it speaks accessibility.

Quick Start

Option A: Hosted server (no install)

ROLLIN also runs a hosted MCP server over Streamable HTTP — nothing to run locally, always current:

claude mcp add --transport http rollin https://joinrollin.com/api/mcp \
  --header "X-Api-Key: your_api_key_here"

Works in any client that supports remote MCP servers. Send your key as an Authorization: Bearer or X-Api-Key header. Any tier works, including Free. Discovery (initialize, tools/list) needs no key; tool calls require one.

Option B: Run locally via npx

1. Add the Server

npx rollin-mcp-server

No global install. Runs anywhere Node 18+ is available. Works immediately in trial mode — no API key needed for your first 5 requests.

2. Get a Free API Key (for unlimited access)

Sign up at joinrollin.com/portal — no credit card required. Set ROLLIN_API_KEY in your config to unlock unlimited requests.

3. Configure Your Client

      "args": ["-y", "rollin-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
