## Agent Access

The MTA provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://www.transfigurism.org/mcp for authenticated agents. Use it when you need structured search, iteration, retrieval, or relationship traversal over public website content.

**Authentication:** MCP requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. API keys are issued by MTA administrators.

**Coverage source:** Public URL aliases are the source of truth. Supported MCP and Markdown content types are: article, topic, generic, quotation, video, author, tag, product, event, chapter, region.

**Unsupported aliases:** chat (Chat is an interactive application surface, not a stable public content document.); manual (Manual aliases are redirect/control records and do not identify retrievable content.).

## MCP Tools

- **describe_content_catalog** — Inspect supported types, live counts, fields, filters, and unsupported alias types. Start here when planning a synthesis task.

- **search_content** — BM25 full-text search across all searchable public content. Supports `category`, `tag`, `author`, `locale`, `limit`, and `offset`.

- **list_content** — Iterate public content by `content_type`, `locale`, `limit`, and `cursor`. Use this for corpus sweeps and completeness checks.

- **get_content_by_url** — Retrieve normalized full content by exact URL path, including `markdownUrl` when available.

- **get_related_content** — Traverse related content from a URL or typed content reference using tags, authorship, events, chapters, and regions.

- **get_quotations_by_topic**, **get_author_works**, **list_topics** — Compatibility helpers for common quotation and author workflows.

## Markdown Endpoint

Any supported public content URL can be fetched as clean Markdown by prepending `/markdown` to its path. Examples: https://www.transfigurism.org/markdown/articles/my-article, https://www.transfigurism.org/markdown/events/my-event, https://www.transfigurism.org/markdown/chapters/my-chapter. No authentication is required.

- **Chapters** (`chapter`): 5 public items; searchable: yes; retrievable: yes; markdown: yes; filters: content_type, locale, limit, cursor, region.
- **Regions** (`region`): 2 public items; searchable: yes; retrievable: yes; markdown: yes; filters: content_type, locale, limit, cursor.

## Suggested Agent Workflow

1. Call `describe_content_catalog` to confirm content types, counts, and filters.
2. Use `search_content` for relevance-ranked discovery or `list_content` for systematic iteration.
3. Use `get_content_by_url` or the Markdown endpoint to retrieve full content before quoting or synthesizing.
4. Use `get_related_content` to expand from a source into linked authors, tags, events, chapters, regions, and other related material.
