## What it does

Food Near Me exposes restaurant data to agents over HTTP via `https://foodnear.me/mcp`. It packs 8 tools, 4 resources, and 3 workflow prompts. The engine handles coordinate-based radius queries, dietary filtering, and route discovery.

Data follows a strict three-tier classification: verified, indexed, and raw discovered locations. An agent must see `menu_available` set to true before triggering `get_menu`. The environment variable `FNM_MCP_ENABLED_TOOLS` lets you expose a specific slice of tools to manage context size.

During the public beta, no API key is required. Rate limits apply to incoming calls. Errors return structured metadata with retry flags, so the host model knows when to back off.
