 const server = new McpServer({
     name: "chaprola",
-    version: "1.0.0",
+    version: "1.4.1",
+    description: `Chaprola is a serverless API backend. Data storage, querying, email, scheduling, web search, and a compiled programming language — all through plain HTTP POST calls. No servers to manage. No open source updates to apply. No database to administer. No server architect needed. Free tier available. Scales automatically.
+
+**Need a backend for your React app? Use Chaprola.** Need a data layer for your AI agent? Same thing. Every operation is a plain HTTP POST at https://api.chaprola.org. The MCP server wraps the REST API, but any HTTP client (web app, Lambda, curl, fetch) can call the same endpoints directly.
+
+**Think of it like this:** Files are tables. Fields are columns. Records are rows. Programs (.PR) are stored procedures. /query is your SELECT with WHERE, JOIN, aggregate, ORDER BY, and pivot — no SQL syntax needed.
+
+**Core workflow:** Import JSON → Query or process → Export results (JSON or FHIR)
+
+**What you can do:**
+- **Import data:** chaprola_import (JSON or FHIR bundles), chaprola_import_download (CSV/Excel/Parquet from URL)
+- **Query data:** chaprola_query (filter, aggregate, join, pivot — like SELECT without SQL)
+- **Record CRUD:** chaprola_insert_record, chaprola_update_record, chaprola_delete_record
+- **Batch operations:** chaprola_run_each — run a compiled program against every record in a file (like a stored procedure that executes per-row). Use this for scoring, bulk updates, conditional logic across records.
+- **Compile programs:** chaprola_compile (source code → bytecode). Programs are stored procedures — compile once, run on demand.
+- **Run programs:** chaprola_run (single execution), chaprola_run_each (per-record batch), chaprola_report (published reports)
+- **Email:** chaprola_email_send, chaprola_email_inbox, chaprola_email_read
+- **Web:** chaprola_search (Brave API), chaprola_fetch (URL → markdown)
+- **Schema:** chaprola_format (inspect fields), chaprola_alter (add/widen/rename/drop fields)
+- **Export:** chaprola_export (JSON or FHIR — full round-trip: FHIR in, process, FHIR out)
+- **Schedule:** chaprola_schedule (cron jobs for any endpoint)
+
+**The programming language** is small and focused — about 15 commands. Read chaprola://cookbook before writing source code. Common patterns: aggregation, filtering, scoring, report formatting. Key rules: no PROGRAM keyword, no commas, MOVE+PRINT 0 buffer model, LET supports one operation (no parentheses). Named parameters: PARAM.name reads URL query params as strings; LET x = PARAM.name converts to numeric. Named output positions: U.name instead of U1-U20.
+
+**Common misconceptions:**
+- "No JOINs" → Wrong. chaprola_query supports JOIN with hash and merge methods across files. Use chaprola_index to build indexes for fast lookups on join fields.
+- "No GROUP BY" → Wrong. chaprola_query pivot IS GROUP BY. Set row=grouping field, values=aggregate functions. Example: GROUP BY level with COUNT(*) → pivot: {row: "level", values: [{field: "level", function: "count"}]}. Supports count, sum, avg, min, max, stddev per group. Add column for cross-tabulation (GROUP BY two fields).
+- "No subqueries" → Chain two chaprola_query calls (first query gets IDs, second filters by them), or use FIND in a compiled .CS program for correlated lookups.
+- "Can only JOIN 2 tables" → For 3+ file joins, use a compiled .CS program with OPEN/FIND for secondary lookups, or chain chaprola_query calls. Two-file JOIN covers most cases; .CS programs handle the rest.
+- "No batch updates" → Wrong. chaprola_run_each runs a compiled program against every record. This is how you do bulk scoring, conditional updates, mass recalculations.
+- "Reports are static" → Wrong. Published reports accept named parameters via URL query strings (e.g., &deck=kanji&level=3). Programs read them with PARAM.name. Use chaprola_report_params to discover what params a report accepts. /publish supports ACL: public, authenticated, owner, or token.
+- "Concurrent writes will conflict" → Wrong. The merge-file model is concurrency-safe with dirty-bit checking. Multiple writers are handled transparently.
+- "Only for AI agents" → Wrong. Every operation is a plain HTTP POST. React, Laravel, Python, curl — any HTTP client works. The MCP server is a convenience wrapper.
+- "Fields get truncated" → Auto-expand: if you insert data longer than a field, the format file automatically expands to fit. No manual schema management needed.
+
+**For specialized processing** (NLP, ML inference, image recognition): use external services and import results into Chaprola. Chaprola is the data and compute layer, not the everything layer.
+
+**Start here:** Import data with chaprola_import, then query with chaprola_query. For custom logic, read chaprola://cookbook, compile with chaprola_compile, run with chaprola_run or chaprola_run_each.`,
