## Tools

```python
napoleon_maxims(category="strategy")         # 115 maxims, filterable
sun_tzu(chapter=3)                            # Art of War by chapter
commander_doctrine(commander="hannibal")      # Doctrine deep-dive
apply_strategy(problem="...", lens="competition")  # Apply to modern problem
public_domain_library(domain="military")      # Full bibliography
```

## Quick Start

```bash
pip install classical-strategy-mcp

# Claude Code
claude mcp add strategy -- classical-strategy-mcp

# Or run directly
classical-strategy-mcp
```

## What This Is Not

This is a research and analytical tool. Public domain military history for:
- Strategic analysis and decision frameworks
- Historical research and education
- Leadership and organizational thinking
- Competitive strategy and planning

Not for operational military planning.

## The Public Domain Opportunity

Every work cited here is in the public domain. The content is free. The value is in:
- Structured access (not raw text scanning)
- AI-native interfaces (not PDFs)
- Synthesis across traditions (not single-source)
- Modern application frameworks (not historical trivia)

This is the model for the next wave of knowledge infrastructure.
