## Tools (10)

- `browse`: Newest projects in the archive first, optionally filtered by category: architecture, interiors, design, photography or art.
- `discover`: One project chosen at random from the archive. Editorial serendipity: the way a reader opens a magazine to an unplanned spread.
- `fetch`: Retrieve the full record for one Thisispaper project by id (the id returned by search). Returns title, text and the public url.
- `get_api_key`: Mint 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_project`: Full metadata for one project: machine-written description, design language, details and dimensions, plus the public URL.
- `list_guides`: Every 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.
- `search`: Search 2,500+ hand-curated architecture, design, photography and art projects from Thisispaper. Returns a list of results with id, title and url.
- `search_by_taste`: Search 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_projects`: Search 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). Without an API key, results are capped at 5; pass Authorization: Bearer tip_live_... for full results.
- `similar_projects`: Nearest projects to a given slug by visual + semantic similarity (precomputed SigLIP neighbours). Use the slug from search_projects results.
