Resources
Articles are exposed as MCP resources, so full text is one resources/read away —
no second tool call, no guessing slugs.
mtp://article/{slug}Every search result carries a resource_link pointing at one of these. The four content
tools also return structuredContent matching their outputSchema, so you can parse
results rather than scraping markdown.
Signing in
Your client handles it. The first time you use the MCP it'll open a browser and ask you to sign in with your Mind the Product account — free to create — and that's it.
There's no API key to manage. Access is read-only and tied to you personally, so nothing you connect can post, comment, or change anything in your account.
