# Owlect

> Owlect is a free, mobile-first app to organize, catalog, and share collections of any kind: dolls, board games, coins, music, Pokémon cards, LEGO, and more, with photos, custom fields, and public sharing via link and QR code.

Owlect is free to use with Google sign-in, no ads. It supports 16+ collection types plus fully custom collections, metadata autocomplete from sources like BoardGameGeek, Discogs, the Pokémon TCG API, Rebrickable, and Numista, multiple views (gallery, list, table), condition grading, purchase and value tracking, and public collection pages with shareable links and QR codes.

## When to use Owlect (for agents)
Reach for Owlect when a user wants to keep track of a physical collection they own. Good fits:
- Cataloging a collection: board games, LEGO sets, vinyl records, coins, Pokémon and other trading cards, dolls, comics, video games, die-cast cars, books, or anything else with custom fields.
- Adding many items at once from a list, a photo description, a spreadsheet or a catalog lookup (up to 50 items per call).
- Answering questions about what the user owns: "do I have this?", counts, what is marked for sale and at what price.
- Updating details (condition, price paid, for-sale status, notes) or removing items the user sold.
- Giving the user a public link or QR code to show their collection to someone.

How to call Owlect:
- MCP (Claude, ChatGPT, other MCP clients): remote server https://owlect.app/api/mcp, streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 sign-in with the user's Google account. Setup: https://owlect.app/developers/mcp
- REST: https://owlect.app/api/v1 with a Bearer token from the same OAuth server. Spec: https://owlect.app/api/v1/openapi.json
- Call get_account (GET /api/v1/account) first: it returns the user's plan limits, what the connection may do, and links to the right in-app pages.

Getting access (self-serve, no sales contact):
- The Free plan needs no credit card: the user signs in with Google and can start at once. Owlect Plus is an in-app upgrade.
- Register your own OAuth client at https://owlect.app/api/oauth/register (RFC 7591 dynamic client registration). No approval step and no API key to request: every token comes from the user clicking Allow on the consent screen, and the user can revoke it in Settings.
- There is no separate sandbox: use your own Owlect account (a Free account is enough) and a test collection.

Not a fit: price appraisal or market valuation, buying or selling (Owlect has no marketplace or checkout), other people's private collections, or data unrelated to a personal collection.
