MCP, WebMCP & agent discovery on eci2fly.com

This site is explicitly built for agent consumption. AI assistants and MCP-aware clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, OpenAI Operator, Gemini, Perplexity) can discover the editorial library, parse the aviation glossary, and read calculator input schemas through machine-readable endpoints. This page documents the discovery surface.

Machine-readable endpoints

JSON + text endpoints for agents

Every endpoint returns a stable schema with a schema field for versioning. CORS open. Public cache 1 hour.

/api/glossary.json application/json

90+ aviation entities with definition + primary source URL + anchor.

/api/calculators.json application/json

Calculator catalog with input schemas (mcp_action) for tool-calling agents.

/llms.txt text/plain

Plain-text LLM-optimized site map. Editorial framework + topical structure.

WebMCP - frontend signals

What an agent sees in the DOM

Beyond machine-readable endpoints, the rendered HTML is built for agent navigation - semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, declared actions.

  • Semantic landmarks: every page has <header role="banner">, <main role="main" id="main">, <footer>, and <nav aria-label> regions.
  • Skip-to-content link: <a href="#main" class="skip-link"> as the first focusable element on every page.
  • schema.org @graph: Organization + Person + WebSite core graph with potentialAction[] declaring SearchAction + ReadActions for every JSON endpoint.
  • Action descriptors: interactive elements declare intent via data-mcp-action, data-mcp-description, data-mcp-input-schema attributes.
  • FAR microdata: glossary terms render itemtype="https://schema.org/DefinedTerm" with itemprop="name" / "description" / "sameAs".
  • Forms: every form input has a <label for> association + autocomplete hints + aria-label on the form root.
  • Speakable: BlogPosting schema declares speakable.cssSelector for 16 element classes (lead, headings, FAQ Q+A, data tables, fact cards).
