# Introduction

> Welcome to Hum — Connecting Residents with Internet Services

# The Hum Platform

Hum makes it simple to connect residents with the internet services they need. Whether you're building a property management platform, a real estate application, or any resident-focused service, Hum helps you provide a seamless internet setup experience.

The partner API provides availability lookup and reporting. Residents place orders through the Hum widget checkout; the partner API does not provide an order-placement endpoint. Hum's [Broadband MCP](/mcp/overview) is a separate contract for AI agents and can support an authorized ordering workflow when that capability is enabled.

## What Hum Does

<Tip>
  Moving into a new home comes with many tasks - setting up internet shouldn't be one of them. Hum eliminates the complexity and gets residents connected faster.
</Tip>

Hum streamlines the entire internet setup process by:

* Finding available internet services at any address
* Presenting clear, actionable service options
* Simplifying the signup process
* Getting residents connected faster

## How It Works

Behind the scenes, Hum uses intelligent automation to:

* Validate and standardize addresses for accurate service matching
* Find available internet service providers and their offerings
* Present up-to-date plans and pricing
* Guide residents through a smooth onboarding process

You can integrate these capabilities through our API, drop-in widget, or public MCP. Each surface has its own contract and status meanings.
