  title: Propal Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Public REST API for Propal — proposals, leads, catalog, templates, themes,
    media, metrics, and organization. An MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint
    is also available at `POST /v1/mcp` for AI agents — it requires the
    `mcp:use` scope and exposes the same resources as tools, plus prefab section
    templates to compose proposals.
