## What it does

The server gives your assistant six read-only tools. It runs hybrid search across articles and pulls related reading lists through vector similarity. The tools can also inspect scheduled ProductTank meetups or active job listings on the board.

Content arrives as structured MCP resources via `mtp://article/{slug}` paths. The model reads full texts directly without guessing slugs or parsing raw markdown. Connections operate over streamable HTTP under protocol revision `2026-07-28`.

You do not need an API key. On first use, the client launches a browser window for a free account login. Without completing this sign-in, requests will fail.
