Layer 4 — AI Infrastructure

THE NETWORK
IS MACHINE-READABLE.

The Roofing Authority Network was built from day one to be queryable by AI systems. Every episode. Every verified claim. Every market signal. Accessible via MCP server to any LLM that integrates it.

MCP Server — In Development · Launching 2027

MCP Server Configuration

// Add to your Claude / Cursor MCP config { "mcpServers": { "roofing-authority": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@roofingauthority/mcp-server"], "env": { "RAN_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Example Query

// Ask the network anything about commercial roofing search_episodes({ query: "TPO failure rates freeze-thaw climates", channel: "all", date_range: "2026-2027" }) // Returns: verified claims with source timestamps and channel attribution { results: [ { claim: "TPO seam failures increase 40% in climates with 80+ freeze-thaw cycles", source: "The Tie-In · Episode 14 · John Kiesel", timestamp: "2026-09-22T14:32:00Z", verified: true, channel: "ch01-tie-in" } ] }

Why this matters.

Every time a roofing contractor, manufacturer, architect, or consultant asks Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any future AI system a question about commercial roofing — if the RAN MCP server is in their environment, the answer comes from this network.

Your episodes. Your guests. Your verified claims. Your compliance ledger. Not Wikipedia. Not random forum posts. The structured, timestamped, anchor-verified knowledge built by the people who have spent their careers on rooftops and in boardrooms.

This is not a feature. It is infrastructure. The commercial roofing industry's first machine-readable knowledge graph — built on live conversation.
