## What you get

Counts are on the badges above, read live from the API. They are deliberately
not repeated in this text: every place that hardcoded them drifted apart, and a
README on GitHub cannot render live values.

- **MCP tools** across 10 categories: search, CIPs, forum, mailing lists, docs, YouTube, ecosystem, validators, dev fund, releases. Full catalog: [docs.ccpedia.xyz/tools/overview](https://docs.ccpedia.xyz/tools/overview).
- **Live data sources** synced every 5 minutes to 24 hours depending on cadence. Live list: [ccpedia.xyz/api/v1/sources](https://ccpedia.xyz/api/v1/sources).
- **Canton design patterns** for the questions we see most (SV operations, DAML fundamentals, token standards, governance, debugging). Index: [docs.ccpedia.xyz/patterns/overview](https://docs.ccpedia.xyz/patterns/overview).
- **REST API** with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec: [ccpedia.xyz/api/v1/reference](https://ccpedia.xyz/api/v1/reference).

Ask it "how do I build a token on Canton?" and it returns the actual CIP template code with citations, not a paraphrase.

- **Fix a typo, sharpen a page, add an example.** Edit any `.mdx` under `content/docs/` and open a PR. CI type checks and builds it; a maintainer deploys after merge.
- **Wrong or outdated answer.** Open an issue with the tool name, your prompt, and what CCPEDIA returned.
- **Propose a new data source.** Open an issue with the source URL and why the ecosystem needs it indexed.

Auto-generated pages under `content/docs/tools/` and `content/docs/patterns/` are synced from the main service and get overwritten on the next sync. Edit the source in the CCPEDIA service repo instead.
