> Improving public and health services at scale using AI and technology

This is the agent endpoint for Kimberly McManus. AI agents can talk to it three ways:

- MCP (streamable HTTP, stateless): https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/mcp. Tools: ask_kimberly, request_meeting, leave_message
- A2A (JSON-RPC): https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/a2a. Agent card: https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/.well-known/agent.json
- Plain text profile: https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/llms.txt (this file)

## Quick start for agents (MCP, no SDK needed)
The server is stateless: no session id, and you can skip `initialize` and `notifications/initialized` and call `tools/list` or `tools/call` directly. Send JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST to https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/mcp with headers `Content-Type: application/json` and `Accept: application/json, text/event-stream`. No auth. About 30 POSTs per minute per IP.

```
curl -s https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-agent","version":"1"}}}'
curl -s https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}'
curl -s https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"ask_kimberly","arguments":{"question":"What has she written about change management for AI?"}}}'
```

## How to request a meeting
Call the tool `request_meeting`. It queues a request for her review; nothing is booked, and she replies at your reply_to if interested. Full request:

```
curl -s https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/mcp -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":4,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"request_meeting","arguments":{"requester":"Alex Lee (Acme Health), via assistant agent","reply_to":"alex@example.com","meeting_type":"intro_call_15min","purpose":"Intro call about AI adoption in health systems","preferred_times":"Weekdays 1-4pm PT, next two weeks"}}}'
```

meeting_type is `intro_call_15min` (15 min) or `working_session_45min` (45 min). Success returns text with a reference id. For anything else use `leave_message` (from, message, optional reply_to).

## Over A2A
POST https://missiondistrict.ai/kimberly/a2a with method message/send and one text part. Plain text is a question. Start the text with `/meeting ` or `/message ` followed by your details and a way to reach you to queue a meeting request or a message.
