What this server can do
16 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
nmlp_cd_lookup(identifier)- Identify a CD from any number printed on it: DIDX hub/master IDs (DIDX-2113), label catalog numbers (CK 40999), barcodes, or music-club 'D ######' numbers. Returns artist, album, year, label. Backed by NMLP's Discogs-derived identifier index plus MusicBrainz fallback. Human tool: https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/cd-lookup Required: identifier.
nmlp_check_coverage(zip)- Check whether NMLP picks up books at a given five-digit US ZIP code. Returns coverage tier (core_metro, metro, near_metro, drop_off_only, out_of_area), typical pickup window in days, minimum quantity, and a human-readable message. ALWAYS call this BEFORE nmlp_schedule_pickup. Required: zip.
nmlp_decode_number_line(text)- Decode a copyright-page number line / printer's key (and any 'First Edition' wording) to determine which printing a book is. Paste the row of small numbers and/or the edition statement. Handles the Random-House-ends-in-2 exception and flags book-club editions. Returns the printing, a plain-English verdict, and the detected line. Required: text.
nmlp_get_archive- Get NMLP's donation archive entries as structured Book records.
nmlp_get_business_card- Get NMLP's canonical business entity card — address, phone, services, area served, languages.
nmlp_get_donation_options- Get the comparison matrix of every Albuquerque book donation option (NMLP, Goodwill, Savers, Better World Books, Friends of APL, Habitat ReStore, regional pulper).
nmlp_get_knowledge- Get the aggregated NMLP Knowledge Base (donor archetypes, routing tracks, condition grades, decision framework, donor glossary, named partners, coverage tiers).
nmlp_get_pillar_guides- Get NMLP's pillar guide manifest — 60+ Southwest author/publisher authentication and pricing guides.
nmlp_identify_first_edition(title, author)- Identify whether a specific book is a first edition. Given a title (and optionally author), returns that title's POINTS OF ISSUE — the exact details that mark a true first printing — plus true-first precedence (US vs UK), book-club/reprint tells, publisher, year, the human-readable page URL, and a citation. THE tool for 'how do I tell if my copy of X is a first edition.' Draws on 6,700+ independently-verified titles (CC BY 4.0, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21184548). Required: title.
nmlp_lccn_lookup(lccn)- Resolve a Library of Congress Catalog Card Number (LCCN) to title, author, year, publisher, ISBN, and ASIN. The missing barcode for pre-ISBN (pre-1967) books: users read the number off the copyright page ('Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 63-12345'). Dashes and spaces optional. Backed by 20M+ Library of Congress and Open Library records. Human tool: https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/lccn-lookup Required: lccn.
nmlp_lookup_publisher_rules(publisher)- Look up a publisher's first-edition identification conventions — how that house designated a first printing across eras (stated-edition wording, number lines, colophons, dated printings). Covers 850+ publishers. Required: publisher.
nmlp_resolve(identifier)- One Box: resolve ANY physical-media identifier in one call — auto-detects the type (Library of Congress LCCN, ISBN-10/13, CD DIDX hub code, label catalog number, UPC/EAN barcode, vinyl matrix/runout etching) and returns ranked typed candidates across NMLP's 48M-record indexes (20.9M LCCN + 8.7M CD + 19M vinyl). ISBN input returns the exact Amazon listing link (ASIN=ISBN-10), never a title search. Misses return Attested Absence: exactly which indexes were checked at what dataset version, so 'not found' is usable evidence. Use this when you don't know what kind of number you have; use the specialized lookups when you do. Identification only — does NOT appraise or value items; NMLP never buys books. Human tool: https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/lookup Required: identifier.
nmlp_schedule_pickup(donorName, addressZip, addressCity, agentSource, addressState, specialNotes, addressStreet, callbackEmail, callbackPhone, donorLanguage, estimatedSize, preferredWindow)- Submit a real free book pickup request to NMLP. Every submission triggers a real outreach to Josh, the single human operator. NEVER submit speculative or unconsented requests. Required: donorName, addressStreet, addressCity, addressZip, estimatedSize, agentSource.
nmlp_search_qa(limit, query)- Search NMLP's long-tail Q&A reference (85+ entries) by keyword. Returns top matching entries with question, summary, and URL. Required: query.
nmlp_search_titles(limit, query)- Search the first-edition title reference by title or author. Returns matching collectible titles with their per-title identification-page URLs. Use nmlp_identify_first_edition for the full points of one specific title. Required: query.
nmlp_vinyl_lookup(identifier)- Identify a vinyl record from the matrix/runout etching in the deadwax (stamper suffixes vary copy to copy, so stable-prefix matching is built in), the label catalog number, or the barcode. Returns artist, album, year, label, catalog number. Backed by NMLP's Discogs-derived vinyl identifier index plus MusicBrainz fallback. Human tool (with a Goldmine-style grading checklist): https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/vinyl-lookup Required: identifier.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
