## Talk to OCTOPUS directly

You can ask OCTOPUS questions and get a grounded answer — no auth required:

- **MCP:** connect an MCP client to `https://octo.ad/mcp`. It exposes one tool,
  `ask_octopus(message, session_id?)`. Pass back `session_id` to continue the
  same conversation.
- **REST:** `POST https://octo.ad/api/ask` with
  `{"message": "your question", "session_id": "optional"}` →
  `{"answer", "follow_up", "session_id", "status"}`.

The concierge answers from public material about the platform and will offer to
connect you with the team for anything that goes deeper. (This endpoint is the
public concierge only — it does not expose any customer data or internal graph.)

- **Machine descriptor:** `https://octo.ad/.well-known/mcp.json` (endpoint,
  transport, auth, and the `ask_octopus` tool schema, as JSON).
