Tulsa Ecosystem Map MCP server and data API

A plain-language map of the Tulsa and Oklahoma tech ecosystem for founders building an AI company: the standard terms, the well-established tools, and the local organizations, investors, programs and user groups, with how they connect. Agents can read all of it two ways: an MCP server for search and lookups, and static JSON files. Both are free, read-only and need no authentication. Connections are limited to what organizations announced publicly. Nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice.

When to use this

Explain a startup, fundraising, product or technical term in plain language.
Find Tulsa and Oklahoma organizations, investors, programs, schools, user groups and places to meet, and how they are publicly connected.

MCP server

Endpoint: https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mcp. Streamable HTTP with JSON responses, stateless (no session id): send each JSON-RPC request as a POST. Add it to a client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tulsa-ecosystem-map": { "url": "https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http tulsa-ecosystem-map https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mcp

Tool	What it does
`search_entries`	Search by name, alias or rough spelling; optional `kinds` filter and `limit`.
`get_entry`	One entry by `id`: definition, example, funding evidence with source URLs, official site, connections, sources.
`list_categories`	The categories with entry counts.
`get_category`	The entries in one category, Tulsa entries first, then by connections.
`list_kinds`	The kinds with browse pages and their entry counts.
`get_kind`	The entries of one kind, Tulsa entries first, then by connections.

Example request:

curl -s https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_entries","arguments":{"query":"venture studio"}}}'

JSON API

Static files, described in OpenAPI 3.1:

/api/index.json: every category and entry, summarised
/api/categories.json: the categories
/api/categories/{id}.json, for example /api/categories/fundraising.json
/api/kinds.json: kinds with browse pages
/api/kinds/{id}.json, for example /api/kinds/investor.json
/api/entries/{id}.json, for example /api/entries/techlahoma.json

Every page is also Markdown at its address plus .md, and /llms.txt indexes the site.

In the browser

The map registers search_entries, get_entry, open_entry, open_category and open_kind with WebMCP (document.modelContext) where the browser supports it.
