🧠 Why MCP Server?
We call this an MCP server because it follows the Model-Context-Protocol pattern:
- Model → The Order model defines the data structure (items, status, time).
- Context → Recent queries like /recent/?hours=2 give contextual insights (e.g., last 2 hours).
- Protocol → RESTful APIs define a structured communication protocol.
Think of it like a food court AI assistant:
🍔 Model = What's on the menu
⏰ Context = What's trending now
📡 Protocol = How it communicates with you (API)
This makes it ideal for plugging into larger AI/automation pipelines where structured data, temporal context, and clean APIs matter.
