Add this to your AI tool's MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "relational-tech": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.relationaltechproject.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Endpoint:
https://mcp.relationaltechproject.org/mcp

Where this goes

No API key. No signup. Reads are public via row-level security; contributions land in a stewarded review queue — nothing publishes without a human.

Start here: the practice-guide prompt

Once connected, invoke the practice-guide prompt to put your AI in a Neighboring Commons practice-guide stance for the rest of the conversation: relationships-first, asset-based, citing practitioners by name, calibrating confidence honestly.

What you can ask

"Help me design a fix-it fair for my neighborhood"
"I want to start a mutual aid pod on my block — where do I begin?"
"What's microsolidarity, and how does it differ from mutual aid?"
"How do I host a block party? What does Vanessa Elias do at Block Party USA?"
"I'm feeling burned out from community organizing — what do practitioners recommend?"

Your AI will surface relevant recipes, frameworks, methodology, and practitioner references — with attribution and source URLs so you can read the original work.
