## What it does

This remote HTTP tool connects your coding assistant to consulting content from Shipshape Data. It runs completely read-only. You do not need any API tokens or credentials to query it. The server exposes technical material on foundational data structures, case write-ups, and architectural documentation.

Everything operates over `https://shipshapedata.com/mcp` without writing changes back to the site. The infrastructure limits incoming traffic to 300 requests every minute from a single IP address. Heavy scraping loops will hit this cap immediately.
