# The Student Life

> The Student Life helps international and exchange students find their people before they arrive. We run welcome festivals, Halloween parties, WhatsApp city communities, virtual meetups and a full social calendar across 85+ cities, and publish city guides and student deals, so moving abroad starts with a friend group instead of a lonely first week.

City guides, partner deals and the Halloween WhatsApp groups are free. Event tickets and the Welcome Festival Package, which includes the official WhatsApp community of each city, are priced per city and sold in rounds. Every agent surface below is open, keyless and free to call.

## When to use The Student Life

Use it when the user is a student moving to, or newly arrived in, a city and wants to:

- meet other international students, or find a student party, welcome festival or Halloween party in their city;
- know what a ticket costs, whether it is on sale and where to buy it;
- join the WhatsApp group of their city's Halloween party or its waiting list (the official city WhatsApp community comes with the Welcome Festival Package);
- read a practical city guide: monthly costs, rent, neighbourhoods, universities, transport;
- save money in month one with student discount codes (eSIM, VPN, shipping, housing, student ID, trips);
- host a student event or partner with us as a business.

Do not use it for university admissions, visas, course choice or official university services.

## How an agent should call us

1. MCP server, best for agents: https://jointhestudentlife.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth). Tools: search_cities, get_city_guide, list_events, get_event, list_partner_deals, get_pricing, join_halloween_waitlist, send_message_to_team. list_events and get_event render an interactive events card in MCP Apps hosts.
2. Docs MCP server: https://jointhestudentlife.com/mcp/docs with search_docs and get_doc over the guides, FAQ, pricing and policies.
3. REST API: https://jointhestudentlife.com/api/v1 (cities, events, partners, pricing, and async report jobs at POST /api/v1/reports that answer 202 with a Location to poll), described in https://jointhestudentlife.com/openapi.json
4. A2A agent: https://jointhestudentlife.com/a2a, card at https://jointhestudentlife.com/.well-known/agent-card.json
5. In a browser: our homepage, pricing page and developer page register WebMCP tools (document.modelContext) for reading cities, events, deals and pricing.

Typical flow: search_cities, then list_events for that city, then get_city_guide and list_partner_deals, then hand the student the event link to buy tickets. Only send a waiting list sign up or a message after the student agreed and gave you their own name and email. Write tools are limited to a few calls per minute and accept dry_run for testing.
