Search and filter one "on the Cheap" site's articles — free and cheap things to do in that city, plus deals, festivals, kids activities and local guides. Pass the `site` key for the city (see otc_list_sites); the national hub is valid here and carries country-wide deals. Filter by full-text `query`, `category` or `location` id (see otc_list_categories / otc_list_locations), and publication date range. Category and location ids are per-site — resolve them against the SAME site you are searching. Retired deals live in an "expired" category and are excluded by default; set `include_expired` to search them too. Returns slim summaries by default — use otc_get_post for an article's full text. Read-only.

Fetch one "on the Cheap" article in full by numeric id, slug, or full URL. Pass the `site` key for the city the article belongs to — an id or slug from one site will not resolve on another, and a full URL must match the site you name. Returns the article text as readable plain text by default; set `format` to "html" for the original markup. Read-only.

List everything happening in an "on the Cheap" city on a given date, from that site’s events calendar — each with its time, price (most are free) and venue. Pass the `site` key for the city (see otc_list_sites) and an ISO `date` (YYYY-MM-DD); the date defaults to today in that city. Set `free_only` to keep just the no-cost listings. The national hub has no local calendar and is not a valid `site` here. Use otc_get_post on a listing's url for the full write-up. Read-only.

Day-by-day overview of a whole month from an "on the Cheap" city’s events calendar: for each day, the true number of listings and a short preview of them. Pass the `site` key for the city (see otc_list_sites). The calendar shows at most four listings per day, so `events` is a preview while `total` is the real count — call otc_list_events for a specific date to get that day's complete schedule. The national hub has no local calendar and is not a valid `site` here. Use this to find the busiest days or scan a month at a glance. Read-only.

List one "on the Cheap" site's article categories with their ids and post counts (kids, music, food, festivals, art, museums, and so on). Pass the `site` key for the city (see otc_list_sites). Use an id to filter otc_search_posts by topic — ids are per-site, so use them only against the site they came from. Read-only.

List one "on the Cheap" site's location taxonomy with ids and post counts — the neighbourhoods and surrounding areas it covers. Pass the `site` key for the city (see otc_list_sites). Use an id to filter otc_search_posts geographically — ids are per-site, so use them only against the site they came from. Read-only.

List every city in the "on the Cheap" network with the `site` key used to select it. This server reads them all — every other tool takes a `site` argument, and there is no default, so start here when you do not already know which key covers the city the user means. Read-only.

Verify one "on the Cheap" site is reachable and its public API is responding. Pass the `site` key for the city (see otc_list_sites). The sites need no credentials, so this checks connectivity only. On failure `error.kind` names what broke: edge_blocked (a CDN/WAF refused the request before it reached the site), http, timeout or transport. Read-only.
