Tools

search_articles — find articles answering a "why is my…" question. Optional query, topic, limit.
get_article — the direct answer, the causes covered, and the FAQ for one article. Optional slug or query.
list_topics — the subject areas covered, with article counts, for use as the topic argument.

Every tool is read-only and takes no required arguments — an unknown slug falls back to the closest match rather than erroring. The endpoint also answers plain GET, so https://whyismy.org/mcp?tool=search_articles&query=phone+on+sos works without a JSON-RPC client.

Results are deliberately partial summaries: they give the direct answer and what the article covers, and link to the page for the full step-by-step fix and the cited sources. Includes an MCP App answer card with a "Read the full fix" button.

No authentication, no configuration, no rate limits.
