Node.js (ES modules), `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` over stdio. Built from [local-city-mcp-template](https://github.com/mindwear-capitian/local-city-mcp-template) — see that repo's `STANDARD.md` for the spec (hard rules, tool contract, testing bar, licensing pattern) this server follows. Every response includes a `source_url`.
