 A TypeScript MCP server for reading and searching the [UnknownCheats](https://www.unknowncheats.me) forum. It uses Bun, a local Chrome window, and Cheerio to parse forum pages.

 search_forum({ query: "example" })
 get_thread({ url: "https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/showthread.php?t=123" })
 find_latest_offsets({ game: "Apex Legends" })
+index_subforum({ subforum: "apex-legends", max_listing_pages: 1, max_threads: 5 })
+search_index({ query: "offsets", subforum: "apex-legends" })
 ```
 
+The server advertises forum research tools for game cheating scenes, cheat techniques and tooling, anti-cheat, reversing, and offsets questions. The connected AI client decides whether to invoke them; tool descriptions and server instructions guide selection but do not force a call. For a specific claim, read its source thread and report the source URL and date.
+
 The first directory lookup saves forum URLs in `forum-index.json`. Offsets lookups read the selected game's live thread listing, choose a linked candidate, and scan its recent pages from newest to oldest. Results include the listing URL, scanned pages, and source post. A matching post does not prove the offsets work with the current game build. If the game name is ambiguous, use a slug returned by `list_subforums` or pass an exact `thread_url`.
 
+Browsing or crawling a subforum records its visible listing in the local index. Reading a thread records the pages visited. `index_subforum` additionally samples the first and recent post pages of changed threads, up to five by default, and rechecks unchanged threads after 24 hours. The index remains partial: `search_index` includes listing and post page counts, timestamps, and a partial coverage marker. Use live search when freshness or missing coverage matters. The SQLite database is stored under the user's application data directory (`mcp-unknowncheat/forum-index.sqlite`); set `UC_INDEX_PATH` to change it. Browser-backed tools share one page and run one at a time; a queued call returns a busy error after 10 seconds. `get_thread`, `bulk_get_threads`, `crawl_subforum`, `index_subforum`, and `find_latest_offsets` stop starting new page requests after a 45-second fetch budget. `crawl_cache` reports cache hits, queued requests, failures, and total fetch time.
+
 ## Development
 
 ```sh
 bun run typecheck
 bun run test
 bun run build
+bun run inspect:html -- path/to/saved-forum-page.html
 ```
 
 The browser code and tools are in `src/`; HTML parsers are in `src/parsers/`. `downloads/`, `exports/`, `cookies.json`, and `forum-index.json` are local output ignored by Git.
+The HTML inspector reads a saved page locally and reports selector counts, parser coverage, pagination, and challenge markers without fetching the site.
