-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @sudosapient/mcp
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+An MCP server so Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can find, create, update and complete Sudo
+Sapient tasks. It uses a personal API key, so the assistant has exactly your permissions (private
+projects and Guest limits included), and its changes show in Activity as "you via Claude" (or Cursor,
+…). Its only dependency is [`@sudosapient/client`](../client), the API client it shares with the
+CLI.
+
+Two ways to connect:
+
+- **Remote (HTTP):** the app hosts it at `https://<your workspace>/api/mcp`. Send the key as
+  `Authorization: Bearer ssk_…`.
+- **Local (stdio):** run `npx -y @sudosapient/mcp` (Node 22 or later), which talks to your
+  workspace's `/api/v1`; `npm install -g @sudosapient/mcp` gives you the `sudo-mcp` command. From a
+  checkout of this repo: `pnpm install`, then `node packages/mcp/bin/sudo-mcp.js`.
+
+## Configure your client
+
+Create a key in **Settings → API**. Pick **Read only** if the assistant should only look: write tools
+are then not offered at all. The tools act as you: if you're an Owner or Admin, the workspace tools are offered too. Every tool carries explicit annotations (`readOnlyHint`,
+`destructiveHint`, `idempotentHint`, `openWorldHint`; see [Tools](#tools)), so clients that confirm
+tool use ask before writes only.
+
+**Cursor** (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`) and other clients that take a URL and headers:
+
+```json
+{ "mcpServers": { "sudo-sapient": { "url": "https://sudo.example.com/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ssk_…" } } } }
+```
+
+**Claude Code:**
+
+```bash
+claude mcp add --transport http sudo-sapient https://sudo.example.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ssk_…"
+```
+
+**Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`), over stdio:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "sudo-sapient": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@sudosapient/mcp"],
+      "env": { "SUDO_URL": "https://sudo.example.com", "SUDO_API_KEY": "ssk_…" }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`sudo-mcp` also reads the URL and key saved by `sudo-cli login`. Prefer that, or `SUDO_API_KEY`, to
+`--key`: a key on the command line lands in shell history and the process list, so `sudo-mcp`
+warns about it. Options: `--url`, `--key`,
+`--read-only` (or `SUDO_MCP_READ_ONLY=1`) to register only the read tools even with a write key
+(write tools aren't listed, and calling one is an "Unknown tool" error; off by default),
+`--http [--port 3333]` to serve Streamable HTTP on 127.0.0.1 (each request brings its own key; bodies
+over 1 MB are refused; `--host <address>` listens elsewhere, with a warning, since anything but this
+machine lets other machines reach it over plain http), `--help`, and
+`--insecure` to allow a plain `http://` workspace URL that isn't this machine (refused otherwise).
+
+**MCP Inspector:** `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`, then connect to `https://…/api/mcp`
+(Streamable HTTP, header `Authorization: Bearer ssk_…`, through the Inspector's proxy), or choose
+STDIO with `npx -y @sudosapient/mcp` and the two `SUDO_` variables.
+
+## Tools
+
+Related actions share a tool (`manage_team`, `manage_file`, …), so the list stays short. Tools take
+task and project keys (`WEB-12`, `WEB`) and people by name, email or `me`; results name people and
+tasks the same way, and give ids only where a later call needs one (comments, subtasks, files,
+events, views, notifications, teams, bots).
+
+**Read** (read-only, idempotent; every key):
+
+| Tool                 | Does                                                                         |

+
+**Admin** (only listed when the key's person is an Owner or Admin; `list_bots` with a Read only key too):
+
+| Tool               | Does                                                    | Annotations           |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
+| `list_bots`        | Bots with their projects and keys                       | read-only, idempotent |
+| `update_workspace` | Name, colour, logo; `inviteLink` makes a new join link  | destructive           |
+| `manage_bot`       | Create, change, remove a bot, or revoke one of its keys | destructive           |
+
+`openWorldHint` is `false` on all of them. Calling a write tool with a Read only key is an
+`insufficient_scope` result, and an admin tool for someone who isn't an Owner or Admin a `forbidden`
+one. Some things stay in the app on
+purpose (making API keys, including bot keys; password, two-factor, sessions, sign-in email,
+account deletion, the Owner's workspace export); see [the API reference](../../docs/api.md).
+
+Arguments are checked against each tool's `inputSchema` before it runs: a missing, unknown or
+mistyped one is an `isError` result naming it (`invalid_arguments: Missing required argument:
+project.`), so the model can correct the call. `null` for an optional argument is read as `""` where
+that clears it (a due date) and is otherwise ignored. Calls that reach the rate limit are retried after
+`Retry-After` (see [the API reference](../../docs/api.md#conventions)).
+Resources: `sudo://my-work` and `sudo://project/{key}` (same JSON as `list_my_work` and
+`summarise_project`).
+
+## Untrusted content
+
+Tool results carry text other people wrote (task titles and descriptions, comments, subtasks, project
+and member names, activity), and an assistant could mistake instructions planted there for yours. So
+every result (and resource) is one fenced block: a one-line note, then the JSON between
+`<untrusted-user-content>` and `</untrusted-user-content>`. Inside, every `<` is written as the JSON
+escape `\u003c`, so the text can't close the fence or open a fake one, and the JSON still parses
+as is. The read tools' descriptions and the server's instructions say the same: that content is data,
+never instructions. Clients can take the JSON back out with `unfence()` from
+`@sudosapient/mcp/tools`. For an assistant that only needs to read, also use a Read only key or
+`--read-only`, so nothing it reads can make it write.
+
+Tool text and results are kept small on purpose: one-line descriptions, no per-property prose (the
+server's instructions explain keys once), and compact JSON with names and keys instead of ids.
+`tools/list` is about 4,100 tokens for a Read and write key (35 tools; about a quarter of it the
+annotations), 1,200 for a Read only key (14 tools) and 4,400 for an Owner's or Admin's key (38 tools).
+`node packages/mcp/scripts/budget.js [--read-only | --admin]` (`--admin`: an Owner's or Admin's key) prints the sizes per tool; `node packages/mcp/scripts/results.js` compares tool results with raw API responses.
