No. All read access to Bud's published profile, services, service area, and hours is completely open and requires zero credential. Any AI agent or assistant can connect anonymously over HTTPS to Bud's read endpoints. Just point to the MCP endpoint at https://ai.budsusa.com/api/ucp/mcp and use standard JSON-RPC 2.0 to call read tools like get_dealer_info. No sign-up, no API key, no bearer token needed for reading.
