Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (10)

discoverread-onlyOne project chosen at random from the archive. Editorial serendipity: the way a reader opens a magazine to an unplanned spread.
fetchread-onlyRetrieve the full record for one Thisispaper project by id (the id returned by search). Returns title, text and the public url.
get_api_keyMint a FREE Thisispaper Intelligence API key (200 calls/month) for an email address. The key is shown once; use it as Authorization: Bearer tip_live_... on this MCP endpoint and on the REST API. Max 3 keys per email.
get_projectread-onlyFull metadata for one project: machine-written description, design language, details and dimensions, plus the public URL.
list_guidesread-onlyEvery hand-curated Thisispaper guide and edition. Guides are places: Tokyo, Kyoto, Lisbon, Copenhagen. Editions are themes: Black Matter (black as a way of handling light), Jutaku (Japanese houses on narrow plots), Icons, Off-the-Grid, Monographs on single architects. Returns each one's title, type, one-line description, cover image and public URL. Filter by city or by type. The full guides and editions are reserved for Thisispaper+ members.
searchread-onlySearch 2,500+ hand-curated architecture, design, photography and art projects from Thisispaper. Returns a list of results with id, title and url.
search_by_tasteread-onlySearch by taste metadata: material, light, color, mood, composition, subject. Unique to Thisispaper: these tags were written during human curation. Provide at least one dimension; results are ranked by how many dimensions match, then by recency.
search_projectsread-onlySearch 2,500+ hand-curated architecture, design, photography and art projects from Thisispaper. Returns ranked summaries (name, studio, city, year, category, intro, thumbnail, url, citation_url, provenance).
