The paper is written by a model now. A browser is the wrong client for that:
the work is "generate the paper, then put it in", and doing it through a form
means a person retyping what a model already produced. So the same domain is
served over the Model Context Protocol, which Claude Code, Codex and the
DeepSeek Harness all speak.
It is a third front door, not a second implementation. Every tool is three
lines around an `app.crud` call and validates through `app.schemas`, exactly
as the REST routes do, so a rule fixed in the CRUD layer is fixed on both
surfaces and a paper written by an agent is indistinguishable from one written
by hand. What `app/mcp/` adds is only what a model needs and a browser does
not:
- 29 tools, prefixed `paper_` `paragraph_` `sentence_` `template_` `field_`,
because a model picks a tool out of a list by name rather than by reading 29
descriptions;
- results as compact `None`-free JSON, since a tool result is paid for in
context tokens and `PaperRead.model_dump()` carries four counts and two
timestamps into every list row;
- paragraphs addressed by **heading** as well as by position. Storage is
correct as it stands — a sentence remembers the position it sits at, which is
what makes a template switch non-destructive — but nobody writing
"1. Introduction" knows the template places it at `sort = 20`. The server
translates, and refuses with the real heading list when it cannot, so a model
that guessed wrong corrects itself in one retry;
- `paper_write` and `paper_write_text`: one intention, one call. The latter
finds its own sections from Markdown headings or from lines that name a
template heading, and reports every heading it could not place instead of
writing half a paper;
- `sentence_search` across papers, for consistency rather than retrieval — a
paper that says 洪水损失 should not be joined by one that says GUL;
- `paper_delete` refuses once, naming what would go with it. A cascading delete
has no undo in a tool call.
Two transports, one build. `stdio` is what a client spawns — so nothing in the
process may print to stdout, and diagnostics go to stderr. `streamable-http` is
what a client on another machine connects to, optionally behind a bearer token;
binding a non-loopback address disables the SDK's DNS-rebinding allow-list,
because a LAN client sends whatever Host it knows the server by.
Tools register with `structured_output=False` on purpose: inferred from a
`-> str` annotation the SDK publishes a `{"result": ...}` envelope and sends
the JSON twice, once as `structuredContent` and once as text, and clients that
read only one of the two then disagree about what came back.
`scripts/smoke_mcp.py` drives the whole loop through a real MCP client — the
child process and JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout a client actually uses — and runs
unchanged against a running HTTP server via `--url`. 47 checks pass on both
transports; the REST suite still passes its 45.

"""Tool registry: the five groups, registered in one call.
|
|
|
|
The groups mirror the domain rather than the HTTP routes — papers and
|
|
paragraphs and sentences are the same tables the REST API serves, but a model
|
|
reaches for "append a sentence" and "write a whole paper" as different jobs,
|
|
and the split between :mod:`~app.mcp.tools.papers` and
|
|
:mod:`~app.mcp.tools.paragraphs` follows those jobs.
|
|
|
|
Prefixes are load-bearing: every tool name starts with its group
|
|
(``paper_``, ``paragraph_``, ``sentence_``, ``template_``, ``field_``), because
|
|
that prefix is what a model uses to pick a tool out of a list of twenty-nine
|
|
without reading all twenty-nine descriptions.
