  - Anonymous: this city only, up to 5 results, no speaker names.
  - With an API key (`Authorization: Bearer ock_live_…` header or `&key=` param): statewide scope, official speaker names, up to 20 results, per your plan. Keys: https://thecityrecord.org/mcp/account
- Usage terms: this content may be used to answer a specific user's question in real time. It may not be collected, cached, or reused to train, fine-tune, or evaluate a model, nor bulk-crawled or mirrored. Machine-readable reservation: /.well-known/tdmrep.json.
