+# @nexural/mcp-base
+
+Opinionated base for warehouse MCP servers.
+
+## What it provides
+
+1. **`<warehouse_content>` envelope wrapping** (ADR-0008 §1) — defends synthesis against prompt-injection embedded in warehouse content.
+
+2. **`buildHandler()`** — composed middleware: Zod request validation → decay check → tool execution → telemetry → Zod response validation.
+
+3. **`SYNTHESIS_DIRECTIVE`** — the verbatim system prompt directive the router prepends to LLM synthesis calls.
+
+## Usage in a warehouse MCP server
+
+```ts
+import { buildHandler, wrapInEnvelope } from "@nexural/mcp-base";
+
+const handler = buildHandler(
+  "auth", // warehouse name
+  90, // decay_rate_days from meta.yaml
+  "2026-06-01", // last_reviewed from meta.yaml
+  async (request) => {
+    // Your tool implementation
+    const content = await loadEntry(request.args.id);
+    return {
+      data: {
+        text: wrapInEnvelope(content.body, {
+          warehouse: "auth",
+          id: content.id,
+        }),
+      },
+      citations: [{ warehouse: "auth", id: content.id }],
+    };
+  },
+  (event) => {
+    // emit tool_call telemetry to your local SQLite
+    console.warn(JSON.stringify(event));
+  },
+);
+
+// Wire `handler` into your MCP server's tool dispatch.
+```
+
+Per ADRs 0002, 0007, 0008.
