It’d be really nice if RnB opened up a public API or MCP layer for integrating

What are the use cases you have in mind? We are considering the pros and cons, which include the general coral community’s interests as well as security measures.

Mainly community tooling around discovery and market visibility – things like watchlists/alerts for specific corals, easier search across active auctions, historical pricing and availability trends, and third-party tools that help hobbyists compare current listings to past sales.
A read-only API or MCP layer around public auction data would enable a lot of that without exposing bidding, account, or payment functionality.
