Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search all WindowsForum content (community threads, Windows news, tutorials) with combined keyword and semantic ranking — the best first call for any question or topic. Keep section 'all' unless the user asks for one kind of content. For the latest/newest items set sort='newest' (a query with no topic, such as 'latest tutorials', returns the newest items). Pass the result ids to render_search_results to show them as a card. Returns a list of search results with basic information. Use the fetch tool for document content and continuation details for long threads. ``` ### `search_elastic` - The name "search_elastic" says "search": a word for reading.

The total is exact when total_relation is 'eq', otherwise a verified public lower bound ('gte'); use has_more and next_from to continue. If pagination_limited is true, narrow the query or section instead of paging further. Complements the main `search` tool: use this to page through a large result set with an explicit offset. ``` ### `search_kb` - The name "search_kb" says "search": a word for reading.

Complements the main `search` tool: use this for literal title or author matching rather than relevance-ranked full-text search. ``` ### `search_posts` - The name "search_posts" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Find WindowsForum discussions by meaning rather than exact words — embedding-based semantic search that excels at natural-language questions and paraphrased topics. Uses kNN vector similarity to find content that is semantically related to the query, even if it doesn't share exact keywords. Best for natural language questions and conceptual searches. ``` ### `search_threads` - The name "search_threads" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search WindowsForum threads with structured controls — sort by relevance, date, views or replies, in either order, with pagination; use when result ordering or paging matters. Latest/newest requests replace the default relevance sort with date order; a query such as 'latest tutorials' lists that section without requiring those words in the content. Views/replies sort the complete indexed matching corpus inside a frozen snapshot; they require a complete, fresh popularity index. Counts shown for these sorts come from that index snapshot, with a conservative counts_as_of freshness watermark. Ranking metadata identifies an applied database transaction barrier or a rolling metadata sweep. Native view totals are source-aggregated on approximately a 15-minute cadence, so recent visits and subsequent source changes may not yet be reflected. For popularity continuation pass next_cursor as cursor, leaving from_=0; cursors are short-lived (well under two minutes), so page promptly and start again from the first page if one has expired. The total is exact when total_relation is 'eq', otherwise a verified public lower bound ('gte'); use has_more and next_from to continue. If pagination_limited is true, narrow the query or section instead of paging further. ``` ### `search_users` - The name "search_users" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Find WindowsForum members whose usernames match a query — use to locate a member before calling get_user for their full profile. ``` ### `supplement_status` - The name "supplement_status" says "status": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get the Key-Facts supplement state for one article thread — lifecycle status (approved/held/validated/draft), whether it is the live 'current' revision, and whether the sidebar card is actually rendering, dark because the article was edited after approval (drifted), or absent. Use to answer 'why is there no Key-Facts card on thread N?'. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `windowsforum`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__windowsforum__search", "mcp__windowsforum__fetch", "mcp__windowsforum__search_semantic", "mcp__windowsforum__search_threads", "mcp__windowsforum__get_time", "mcp__windowsforum__supplement_status", "mcp__windowsforum__corpus_stats", "mcp__windowsforum__list_drifted", "mcp__windowsforum__get_kb_article", "mcp__windowsforum__search_kb", "mcp__windowsforum__get_thread_posts", "mcp__windowsforum__search_mysql", "mcp__windowsforum__search_elastic", "mcp__windowsforum__get_thread", "mcp__windowsforum__list_threads", "mcp__windowsforum__get_post", "mcp__windowsforum__get_user", "mcp__windowsforum__get_forum", "mcp__windowsforum__get_forum_updates", "mcp__windowsforum__get_online_users", "mcp__windowsforum__get_latest_registered_users", "mcp__windowsforum__get_forum_statistics", "mcp__windowsforum__search_posts", "mcp__windowsforum__search_users", "mcp__windowsforum__get_windows_news_posts", "mcp__windowsforum__render_search_results", "mcp__windowsforum__render_thread", "mcp__windowsforum__render_kb_article", "mcp__windowsforum__render_community_overview" ], "ask": [], "deny": [] } } ```
