## AI and MCP tools

Golf With Discs provides guides for connecting specialist disc golf tools to compatible AI assistants using Model Context Protocol.

- [AI disc golf guide](https://golfwithdiscs.com/ai-disc-golf/): explains how to connect and combine BagIQ, The DiscList, DiscGolfAPI and Golf With Discs DiscFinder with compatible AI assistants.

### BagIQ MCP

BagIQ is the disc golf bag analysis and decision engine.

Use it to inspect a shared BagIQ bag, identify missing flight slots, detect overlap and analyse possible bag changes.

- Product: [BagIQ](https://bagiq.app/)
- App: [BagIQ App](https://app.bagiq.app/)
- MCP endpoint: [https://data.bagiq.app/mcp](https://data.bagiq.app/mcp)

### The DiscList MCP

The DiscList is a neutral disc golf reference source.

Use search_discs and get_disc to search and filter the neutral catalog and retrieve ratings, available plastics and ranking information. compare_discs compares two to four molds; find_similar_discs returns similar published flight profiles with optional brand constraints. list_brands supplies brand summaries and get_flight_matrix supplies a speed-versus-stability grid. Weekly rankings, regional disc ranks and rolling market movement are available through get_weekly_rankings, get_disc_ranking and get_market_movers. Search filters include brand/category, flight class/tag, flight-number ranges, stability ranges and ranked status. These are reference-data comparisons, not measured flight simulations or retailer-stock results.

The DiscList supplies reference data. It does not make personalised buying recommendations.

### DiscGolfAPI MCP

DiscGolfAPI provides factual global disc golf course and geographic data.

Use search_courses, get_course, find_courses_near and get_recent_updates for factual course information. Search supports country/region, 18-hole layouts, multiple tees or pins, free/pay-to-play and dog-friendly filters. Nearby search uses latitude/longitude and a radius in kilometers; recent updates distinguish additions from updates. Results describe known course data, not guaranteed real-time opening or course conditions.

### Golf With Discs DiscFinder MCP

Golf With Discs DiscFinder searches current disc golf retailer inventory from feeds refreshed daily across more than 50 retailers.

Use it to search by disc or mould, weight, colour, plastic and country, with optional price_min and price_max for an inclusive price range in the country-selected currency after conversion. Either price limit may be omitted. Shipping and additional checkout charges are not added. It can convert currencies, surface the lowest listed product price found and return direct retailer links.

The find_retailer_stock tool accepts a canonical disc_slug. Use weight_grams for an exact weight or weight_min/weight_max for a range; color and plastic select variants. in_stock_only defaults to true, although incomplete feed data still requires retailer confirmation. strict_variants defaults to false; set it to true to exclude listings without enough information to match the requested variant. affiliate_only defaults to false; set it to true only when the player wants partner retailers. Country is selected with country_code; limit bounds the number of offers. Some retailer links are affiliate links. Affiliate relationships do not replace the lowest listed product-price result.

### Golf With Discs Flight MCP

Use it to illustrate a disc flight or compare up to three catalogue discs under selected power, release angle, wind, weight, wear and plastic conditions. Results include an interactive chart for MCP Apps-capable hosts, a saved comparison link and GWD disc-page links. For direct retailer stock, prices and affiliate purchase links, use the separate DiscFinder MCP above.

- MCP endpoint: [GWD Flight MCP](https://golfwithdiscs.com/wp-json/gwd-flight/v1/mcp)
- Protocol: Streamable HTTP, MCP 2025-11-25. Use JSON-RPC POST; browser GET returns 405 because no SSE stream is provided.
- Tools: search_flight_discs, illustrate_disc_flight, compare_disc_flights.
- Interactive resource: ui://gwd-flight/comparison (text/html;profile=mcp-app).
- [MCP Server Card](https://golfwithdiscs.com/wp-json/gwd-flight/v1/mcp/server-card): experimental discovery metadata.
- [AI Catalog](https://golfwithdiscs.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json): experimental flight-server discovery.
- [WebMCP manifest](https://golfwithdiscs.com/.well-known/webmcp.json): browser forms, including compareDiscFlights; this is separate from the remote MCP tools.

Flight model 2 is illustrative and uncalibrated, using published mould ratings and the existing plastic-grade approximations, not measured plastic-specific flight data. It supports controlled fairway distances 45–140 m, bank -25–25 degrees, wind 0–40 km/h, four throw styles and per-disc weight 150–180 g and wear. Wind changes lateral flight only. Public paths contain 81 sampled points rounded to 0.01 m. Existing model-1 saved comparisons retain their original results. Anonymous flight calculation limits are 45 disc configurations/minute and 600/day per network, shared by website and MCP; saved-link restores and cache hits count. Respect HTTP 429 and Retry-After.

The listed MCP interfaces are intended for read-only use without purchases. Individual usage limits, access policies and supported protocols differ; discover the current schemas with initialize and tools/list rather than assuming every service has the same inputs. No tool makes a purchase. Some DiscFinder purchase URLs are affiliate links, with commission disclosures. Discovery files do not automatically install connectors in AI clients.

Access check, November 5, 2026: Flight, DiscFinder, The DiscList and DiscGolfAPI responded to anonymous MCP initialization and tool discovery without an API key. BagIQ returned a Cloudflare HTTP 403 challenge from the audit network, so its current live tool list and machine access could not be verified. This does not establish that the service is unavailable to every client. If an endpoint returns an HTML challenge instead of JSON-RPC, report the access failure; do not interpret it as an empty bag, missing disc or stock result.


### Lost Disc Rescue through the Flight MCP

Use search_flight_discs to identify the lost disc, then call compare_disc_flights with lostDisc instead of discs or snapshot. Example arguments:

{"lostDisc":{"slug":"innova-champion-discs-wraith","wear":"beat_up","weightG":170,"plastic":"Star"},"fairwayDistanceM":95,"throwStyle":"rhbh","countryCode":"GB"}

Only lostDisc.slug is required. Omitted wear defaults to seasoned, weight to 175 g, throwing distance to 95 m and style to rhbh. Plastic is optional and must use an exact catalog name when supplied. The tool reuses the website's bounded neutral catalog shortlist, returns up to three alternatives, and calculates the lost disc, a new copy with the same plastic/weight and one selected new alternative as independent instances. Without a candidate it compares the lost disc and new copy only.

The response includes a signed comparison, rescueUrl into [Lost Disc Rescue](https://golfwithdiscs.com/disc-finder/lost-disc-replacement/), candidate metadata and the selected alternative's calculated finish difference. Repeat with alternativeSlug from the returned list to compare another candidate while retaining the original lostDisc and throwing settings. Unplotted alternatives are suggestions from similar published ratings, not a catalog-wide closest-flight ranking or confirmed stock.

Check availability separately: call the existing DiscFinder MCP find_retailer_stock with the endpoint/tool/arguments supplied in each candidate's stockLookup or newCopyStockLookup. Add requested plastic, weight and price filters there. Country defaults to GB and is retained in the Rescue link. The flight tool does not check retailer stock, create stock alerts or make purchases; stock alerts remain in the browser experience. Normal flight/search quotas apply. Wear and plastic corrections are approximations, and actual flight varies. Existing discs-based and snapshot-only comparisons remain supported; no new MCP server or tool is required.
