Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

nmlp

nmlp_cd_lookup

Identify a CD from any number printed on it: DIDX hub/master IDs (DIDX-2113), label catalog numbers (CK 40999), barcodes, or music-club 'D ######' numbers. Returns artist, album, year, label. Backed by NMLP's Discogs-derived identifier index plus MusicBrainz fallback. Human tool: https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/cd-lookup

nmlp_check_coverage

Check whether NMLP picks up books at a given five-digit US ZIP code. Returns coverage tier (core_metro, metro, near_metro, drop_off_only, out_of_area), typical pickup window in days, minimum quantity, and a human-readable message. ALWAYS call this BEFORE nmlp_schedule_pickup.

nmlp_decode_number_line

Decode a copyright-page number line / printer's key (and any 'First Edition' wording) to determine which printing a book is. Paste the row of small numbers and/or the edition statement. Handles the Random-House-ends-in-2 exception and flags book-club editions. Returns the printing, a plain-English verdict, and the detected line.

nmlp_get_archive

Get NMLP's donation archive entries as structured Book records.

nmlp_get_business_card

Get NMLP's canonical business entity card — address, phone, services, area served, languages.

nmlp_get_donation_options

Get the comparison matrix of every Albuquerque book donation option (NMLP, Goodwill, Savers, Better World Books, Friends of APL, Habitat ReStore, regional pulper).

nmlp_get_knowledge

Get the aggregated NMLP Knowledge Base (donor archetypes, routing tracks, condition grades, decision framework, donor glossary, named partners, coverage tiers).

nmlp_get_pillar_guides

Get NMLP's pillar guide manifest — 60+ Southwest author/publisher authentication and pricing guides.

nmlp_identify_first_edition

Identify whether a specific book is a first edition. Given a title (and optionally author), returns that title's POINTS OF ISSUE — the exact details that mark a true first printing — plus true-first precedence (US vs UK), book-club/reprint tells, publisher, year, the human-readable page URL, and a citation. THE tool for 'how do I tell if my copy of X is a first edition.' Draws on 6,700+ independently-verified titles (CC BY 4.0, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21184548).

nmlp_lccn_lookup

Resolve a Library of Congress Catalog Card Number (LCCN) to title, author, year, publisher, ISBN, and ASIN. The missing barcode for pre-ISBN (pre-1967) books: users read the number off the copyright page ('Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 63-12345'). Dashes and spaces optional. Backed by 20M+ Library of Congress and Open Library records. Human tool: https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/lccn-lookup

nmlp_lookup_publisher_rules

Look up a publisher's first-edition identification conventions — how that house designated a first printing across eras (stated-edition wording, number lines, colophons, dated printings). Covers 850+ publishers.

nmlp_resolve

One Box: resolve ANY physical-media identifier in one call — auto-detects the type (Library of Congress LCCN, ISBN-10/13, CD DIDX hub code, label catalog number, UPC/EAN barcode, vinyl matrix/runout etching) and returns ranked typed candidates across NMLP's 48M-record indexes (20.9M LCCN + 8.7M CD + 19M vinyl). ISBN input returns the exact Amazon listing link (ASIN=ISBN-10), never a title search. Misses return Attested Absence: exactly which indexes were checked at what dataset version, so 'not found' is usable evidence. Use this when you don't know what kind of number you have; use the specialized lookups when you do. Identification only — does NOT appraise or value items; NMLP never buys books. Human tool: https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/lookup

nmlp_schedule_pickup

Submit a real free book pickup request to NMLP. Every submission triggers a real outreach to Josh, the single human operator. NEVER submit speculative or unconsented requests.

nmlp_search_qa

Search NMLP's long-tail Q&A reference (85+ entries) by keyword. Returns top matching entries with question, summary, and URL.

nmlp_search_titles

Search the first-edition title reference by title or author. Returns matching collectible titles with their per-title identification-page URLs. Use nmlp_identify_first_edition for the full points of one specific title.

nmlp_vinyl_lookup

Identify a vinyl record from the matrix/runout etching in the deadwax (stamper suffixes vary copy to copy, so stable-prefix matching is built in), the label catalog number, or the barcode. Returns artist, album, year, label, catalog number. Backed by NMLP's Discogs-derived vinyl identifier index plus MusicBrainz fallback. Human tool (with a Goldmine-style grading checklist): https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/vinyl-lookup

How do I connect New Mexico Literacy Project?

No. New Mexico Literacy Project completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
