# MCP server

The War On News runs a public Model Context Protocol server at https://thewaronnews.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST, no SSE). Read tools return the Markdown twin as content and the JSON twin as structuredContent. The one write tool, suggest_correction, needs a client token from the publisher and stores a pending request for review.
