Research MCP

Paradigm Threat exposes a read-only Model Context Protocol server so agents can search investigations, match site thesis cards, check research coverage, and compute timeline dates — grounded in the same Relay corpus as the site, with explicit gaps when a topic is not indexed.

Endpoint

https://paradigmthreat.net/api/mcp

Status: enabled on this deployment

Health check JSON

Tools

  • search_site / search — keyword search over articles and timeline
  • research_status — coverage envelope (including not_in_corpus)
  • get_site_claims — curated thesis cards
  • read_article / fetch — markdown from Relay mirrors
  • get_event_dates / compute_years_ago — chronology and blip-adjusted elapsed time
  • submit_investigation_idea — propose a new topic for the site to research (appears on /submit)
  • submit_chat_comment — post to a chat channel on Relay chat/public branch

Host restrictions

The MCP endpoint is public and read-mostly, but the host model may refuse to call tools — especially on free or consumer tiers (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.). Common blocks: real people and alleged crimes or deaths, defamation-shaped framing, or write tools without explicit user confirmation. That happens in the host's safety layer before a request reaches paradigmthreat.net; connector installed and tools listed does not guarantee every query will run.

Neutral corpus prompts often work better: search for a title or codename, list paths only, or call research_status without asking the model to assert claims. Cursor and other dev-oriented clients are usually less restrictive than free ChatGPT.

Notes

  • Browser WebMCP remains client-side on article pages; this server MCP is for hosts without an open tab (Cursor, ChatGPT Apps).
  • Citations should prefer primary sources returned by tools — not paradigmthreat.net unless the claim is original to the repo.
