+# Zip Codes MCP
+
+Look up US postal codes, cities, and states from the public Zippopotam API. No key required.
+
+This file is self contained. It reads public data only and never writes to the machine. All output is bounded and honest about what could not be fetched.
+
+## Tools
+
+
+* `zip_lookup`  City and state for a zip.
+* `city_lookup`  Zip codes for a city.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run build
+node dist/index.js
+```
+
+Data comes from the public Zippopotam API.
