# The Continental — https://the-continental-api-production.up.railway.app
# AI agents and AI crawlers are explicitly welcome here.
#
# Public, index-me resources:
#   /               landing (HTML for crawlers/browsers, JSON for API clients)
#   /README.md      developer guide
#   /llms.txt       manifesto + rules of engagement for AI agents
#   /llms-full.txt  everything above in one file
#   /openapi.json   API contract (OpenAPI 3.0.3)
#   /.well-known/api-catalog     RFC 9727 API catalog
#   /.well-known/ai-plugin.json  legacy manifest pointing at the OpenAPI spec
#   /mcp is an MCP endpoint for agents (POST), not a page — disallowed for crawlers.
#
# Authenticated API routes are disallowed below. They return 401 without a
# member key anyway; this just keeps crawlers from wasting requests on them.
