# larkfeed

> larkfeed is an AI-native platform for local media. It puts local news, a business directory, events and jobs on one website, built to be found and cited by Google, ChatGPT and AI search. AI does the grunt work (research, first drafts, meeting and permit coverage); a person approves everything before it publishes.

larkfeed is for local media companies, local media entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to run a local media business in their community and earn from upgraded business pages, ads, featured events, job posts and their own services. It works in any market.

## What it does
- News and articles, with an AI article writer: pick a style, brain dump notes, photos and links, get a finished designed article back. A second AI edits and scores it. A person publishes.
- Automatic coverage: city council and school board meetings, plus permit filings, turned into drafts that wait for a person to approve.
- A local business directory with claimable listings and upgraded business pages the operator sells at their own price.
- An events calendar with free submissions and paid featured spots.
- A job board with local openings and premium roles.
- Business owner interviews, collected through greetform and published as articles after approval.
- Structured data on every page, an llms.txt guide, and sources, dates and authors on every article, so search engines and AI assistants can find and cite it.
- Connected to lightbreak (newsletters built from the site's own content) and greetform (every form).

## MCP and API (for an operator's own AI)
- Each market gets its own API keys with scopes, made by an admin inside larkfeed.
- The MCP server and a scoped REST API (/api/v1) expose the same tools:
  - list_articles: List the market's articles, newest first.
  - get_article: Read one article by id or slug, with its body.
  - list_events: List the market's events.
  - list_jobs: List the market's job listings.
  - list_businesses: List the market's directory businesses.
  - file_article_draft: File an article draft. It always lands in review for a person to publish. This tool cannot publish.
  - submit_event: Submit an event into the review queue. Nothing goes live until a person approves it.
  - submit_job: Submit a job listing into the review queue. Nothing goes live until a person approves it.
- Agents can read and file drafts. Nothing an agent sends goes live until a person approves it.
