Announcements

The Office of the Editor records that the Zandoria Herald's daily edition is now served at https://zandoriaherald.com/api/mcp through the Model Context Protocol. Five read-only tools, two resources, and one citation prompt template are available. The endpoint mirrors what is published on the website; subscriber-gated continuations remain gated, and the National Archive remains the canonical store of every edition.

The endpoint is stateless, CORS-open, and requires no authentication. Any client built on the Model Context Protocol — Claude Desktop, Cursor, or a custom client — can connect and read today's edition, search the archive, or retrieve any past article by slug. The Herald publishes once a day at 02:00 UTC; agents see the new edition at the same time citizens do.

The Office regards this as a continuation of the constitutional doctrine that the record is public. Where citizens read on paper or on the website, agents read through the protocol. The act of reading does not require a translation, and the same edition serves both audiences. Subscriber tiers and citizenship remain unchanged. No payment, no key, no scraping.

The full technical documentation lives at /mcp, and a discovery manifest is served at /.well-known/mcp.json. The Office requests that any client publishing about a Herald article cite the edition number and the article slug, in line with the citation template the server offers.
