# not-cal-hacks

> Hackathon application portal. A hackathon application portal for both sides of the table. Applicants apply once and track status; organizers review blind against a shared rubric and decide fast.

When to use this:

- An organizer needs a hackathon application portal with blind review, a shared rubric, and a trustworthy applicant status timeline.
- An agent should integrate with not-cal-hacks through the public REST catalog, OpenAPI document, MCP server, or CLI instead of scraping the UI.
- A developer needs sandbox demo accounts, auth docs, or vocabulary (application types, statuses, tracks, rubric) for not-cal-hacks.
- Do not use this for payments, general ticketing, or as a source of affiliation claims about other hackathon brands.

## Instructions for agents

- Prefer `https://not-cal-hacks.pages.dev/openapi.json` as the API contract.
- Use keyless `GET /api/v1/*` for product meta and vocabulary.
- Use `https://not-cal-hacks.pages.dev/mcp` for Streamable HTTP tool calls.
- Authenticated application data requires a session cookie; see `https://not-cal-hacks.pages.dev/auth.md`.
- Never invent organizer decisions or applicant PII.
