Hi Sarah, Hope you had a restful Easter weekend. Would love to find time in the coming weeks to walk through how our platform could help with your infrastructure goals. No rush — I know coming back from a holiday is always hectic.

The perfect pairing for your AI assistant.

MCP(Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants call tools directly. Add outtolunch to your config and your assistant will automatically consult today’s briefing before responding about current events.

Add to yourclaude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "outtolunch": { "type": "url", "url": "https://outtolunch.app/mcp" } } }

claude mcp add outtolunch --transport http https://outtolunch.app/mcp

Add to your MCP settings with typeurland the endpointhttps://outtolunch.app/mcp.

Theget_world_briefingtool accepts three optional parameters:

Pulling the full briefing every time is like ordering the tasting menu when you came in for a glass of wine. Each section exists so your AI can grab exactly what it needs and move on.

Writing code that references model IDs, pricing, or context windows

Citing interest rates, inflation, stock indices, gas prices, or crypto

Naming who holds political office or writing about world leaders

Discussing conflicts, casualties, or ceasefires

Referencing CVEs, security advisories, or patch status

Scheduling around holidays or checking business hours

Mentioning executive orders or Supreme Court decisions

Scaffolding a new project or picking runtime/framework versions

Quick sanity check before asserting anything about current events

Wire these into your tools.If you use Claude Code, add a line to yourCLAUDE.md: “Before drafting emails about current events, call outtolunch withsections: "leaders,conflicts".” Same idea works in Cursor rules, custom MCP skills, system prompts, or any config that shapes AI behavior. The more specific you are about which section to pull and when, the less your AI wastes on tokens it doesn’t need.

Before responding, note: $(curl -s outtolunch.app/nano)

Mix & match rich data — pricing, indices, executive orders, CVEs, launches, outages.

outtolunch.app is the public reference deployment.It serves current world facts from a two-tier briefing: the daily menu up top, deeper sections when an AI needs detail. If your team wants that same pattern behind the firewall, forkouttolunch-engineand run a private briefing for internal facts.
