What this MCP does

Provides social-emotional learning traits, practice scenarios, and parent what-to-say guides for children ages 6–14.

find_practice_situation
Find a practice situation
Finds up to 3 public Life Scenario practice scenarios for a real-life situation a child is facing (for example: left out at recess, peer pressure, cheating in a group chat, parents arguing, a new school). Returns each scenario's title, a short excerpt, the ages it is written for, the traits it practises, a link the adult can open to try it together with the child without an account and, when one is published, the parent page or what-to-say guide about the same situation. match_quality is "close" (the scenarios are about this situation) or "loose" (they only touch it and may not fit). An empty or loose result means only that no public scenario fits. Returns authored practice scenarios only, never other children's answers. Topics involving risk of harm, or medical or legal questions, return status "not_covered" with no guide or practice link.

get_what_to_say
Get a what-to-say guide
Finds the published Life Scenario "What to say" guide for parents that best matches a topic (for example: "nobody will play with me", "being teased") and returns its short answer, the key lines a child can say, its URL and, when the guide has one, a practice_url: a practice scenario on a similar situation that the adult can open with the child without signing up. If no guide on that topic is published, returns status "no_article_yet" and, when a public practice scenario is about the same situation, that scenario. Topics involving risk of harm, or medical or legal questions, return status "not_covered" with no guide or practice link.
