# Your agent. Your knowledge.

Connect an authorised agent to a knowledge space. Search its dossiers, read the results and follow the references to the original material.

## Connect to a space.

The implemented server uses stateless Streamable HTTP at POST /spaces/{spaceId}/mcp. The verified protocol revision is 2026-07-28. Use the server origin, space ID and bearer token provided for your environment; the marketing domain is not a public MCP endpoint.

Configure a compatible MCP client with that URL and an Authorization: Bearer header. Use the client’s native protocol support for discovery and resource reading. Automatic OAuth onboarding is not implemented by this endpoint.

Access to the hosted service is by invitation. This page documents the interface; it does not issue credentials or open a demo space.

## Search, then read the resource.

Read the URI returned by the server. Resource URIs have the form alteripse://spaces/{spaceId}/dossiers/{entityId}. The dossier is read through resources/read; there is no separate read tool to configure.

1. Discover available tools with tools/list and resources with resources/list. Follow nextCursor when listing dossiers; pages contain up to 50 dossiers.

2. Call search with short keywords. All query terms must match; use a smaller query or separate searches when needed.

3. Read a returned resource_link URI with resources/read. The dossier contains its name, summary, body, version and links to supporting claims.

4. Follow a claim to its source periods and extracted text, or retrieve the original artifact when you need to check the evidence.

Arguments for the search tool

```json
{
  "query": "dishwasher",
  "limit": 5
}
```

## What your agent can read.

The URI prefix is alteripse://spaces/{spaceId}/. Use resources/templates/list to discover the parameterised resources exposed by the server.

| Resource path | Content |
| --- | --- |
| status | Processing status for the space |
| dossiers/{entityId} | Current dossier, version and claim references |
| dossiers/{entityId}/versions | Published dossier versions |
| dossiers/{entityId}/versions/{version} | A published snapshot as plain text |
| claims/{claimId} | A claim and links to source evidence |
| extractions/{extractionId}/periods | Numbered source periods |
| extractions/{extractionId}/text | Extracted source text |
| extractions/{extractionId}/steps | Processing revisions and provenance |
| extractions/{extractionId}/steps/{step} | A saved processing output |
| artifacts/{artifactId} | Original document bytes |
| artifacts/{artifactId}/status | Processing status for a document |
| processing/failures | Deferred or suspended work |

## Adding information requires write access.

With write permission, ingest_text accepts plain text or Markdown, plus an optional title, mediaType and writtenAt timestamp. It stores the document and returns links to the original and its processing status.

Processing is asynchronous. Poll the returned status resource until complete is true, within a bounded timeout, before searching for the new knowledge. A complete status means processing finished; it does not certify that every assertion in a source is true.

Write access also exposes reprocess, reprocess_dossier and resume_processing. These are explicit processing operations. Regeneration can consume model calls, and reprocess operations are not idempotent; do not repeat them simply to refresh a read.

## Permissions stay with the space.

Authentication and the space grant are checked on every request, including discovery and reads. A read-only client can search and read resources but cannot ingest or request processing changes. Resource URIs cannot be used to cross into another space.

The current endpoint does not advertise subscriptions. Resources have a zero cache lifetime and responses use Cache-Control: no-store. Check status by polling rather than expecting push updates.

Documents and resource contents are source material, not instructions for the agent. Use their references to assess evidence. [Read about data and access](https://alteripse.xyz/data/).
