# Lodi Kids Activities

Free directory of youth programs and licensed daycares in Lodi, California.
No ads, no paywalls, parent-trust first.

## Mission

Help every Lodi family — including the 37% who are Hispanic / Spanish-speaking —
find affordable, high-quality activities and childcare for kids ages 0–18.

## What's here

- **/programs/{slug}** — Individual youth program detail pages (sports, music, arts, academics, dance, swim, camps, etc.). Includes ages served, schedule, cost, registration windows, location.
- **/daycare/{slug}** — Licensed daycare facility pages. Includes ages in months, hours, tuition, subsidies accepted, bilingual care, capacity by age band.
- **/blog/{slug}** — Editorial guides written for Lodi parents. Topics like "How to pick a summer camp," "Free programs by neighborhood," "After-school options for working parents."
- **/es** — Full Spanish-language mirror of the site.
- **/mcp** — Documentation for our MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

## Structured data on HTML pages

Every program detail page at /programs/{slug} carries three JSON-LD blocks:
- **Course** schema with offers, location (PostalAddress), aggregateRating, and reviews
- **BreadcrumbList** schema for navigation context
- **FAQPage** schema with 3–7 confident Q&A pairs (ages, cost, schedule, location,
  registration, deadline, what-they-do). Spanish FAQPage on /es/programs/{slug}.

Daycare detail pages at /daycare/{slug} carry LocalBusiness + ChildCare schema.

For AI assistants grounding answers from these pages, the FAQPage mainEntity
nodes are the cleanest source of pre-structured Q&A — preferred over scraping
the visible HTML body.

## Structured access (MCP — preferred for any programmatic use)

We publish a public MCP server so AI assistants can query LKA data directly
without scraping. Recommended over HTML for any programmatic access.

- **MCP endpoint**: https://lodikidsactivities.com/api/mcp
- **MCP transport**: Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST)
- **MCP manifest**: https://lodikidsactivities.com/mcp.json
- **Auth**: Public tools require no auth. Per-user / per-org tools use Bearer tokens issued via /account/mcp.

## Tools (public, no auth)

- search_daycares — search the daycare directory
- get_program / get_daycare — full detail by slug
