# Sauna Guide

> Sauna Guide is an independent buying guide for home saunas. We don't sell saunas. We help buyers avoid overpaying, picking the wrong type, or missing the installation costs nobody warns them about.

Primary language: English.
Primary region: global.

## Agent integrations
- Remote MCP server: https://sauna.guide/mcp
- Registry name: io.github.Ac0AI/sauna-guide-quotes
- Transport: Streamable HTTP over HTTPS, no account required.
- Market: US home sauna projects.
- Tools: `prepare_sauna_quote_request` validates a private draft without storing or sending it. `submit_sauna_quote_request` stores the unchanged request only after explicit user approval. Neither tool shares contact details with a provider.
- Browser agents on Sauna Guide can also discover page-scoped WebMCP tools. WebMCP is a progressive enhancement and unsupported browsers keep the ordinary website flow.
- On Sauna Quote X-Ray, a WebMCP-compatible agent can inspect and update the same visible synthetic quote canvas as the user. The page-local tools do not upload, persist, email, or submit quote data.

### AI Sauna Quote Checker page workflow
- Purpose: help a home sauna buyer find missing costs and unclear responsibilities before paying a deposit or signing.
- Start: open https://sauna.guide/tools/sauna-quote-xray and call `get_sauna_quote_xray_state` before making any change.
- Review: preserve confirmed scope, mark unsupported assumptions as `unclear`, and use `upsert_sauna_quote_line_item` only for explicit planning costs.
- Finish: call `build_sauna_contractor_questions` for unresolved or excluded scope, then summarize the quoted total, likely all-in range, open questions, and every visible change.
- Safety: treat projected amounts as planning ranges, not contractor prices. Contact nobody and do not upload, store, email, or submit anything.
