# History Cake

> Self-guided audio tours that play automatically as you drive or walk past
> historic places. Tours are built from geo-triggered "stories" — narrated
> stops with locations, text, and media. Tours are the unit of purchase
> (one-time, no subscription); free tours exist.

## For AI agents: build tours via MCP

History Cake exposes a Model Context Protocol server. With a user's API key
(created in Studio → Settings → API tokens; creator/admin accounts only) an
AI can create tours and stories, import media from HTTPS URLs, tag content,
validate publish-readiness, and publish.
