Read-only MCP status router: distinguish catalog, registered, and active servers; inspect effective settings safely; and route authorized setup or recovery to the exact provider and runtime references. Routine info/settings/manual calls need no ritual manual reading. This is not an MCP protocol guide.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Plugin MCP mode

`plugin` with explicit root `mode="mcp"` is a **read-only signpost**, not a server-management API. Every action
uses strict `input={}`; routine inspection needs no prerequisite reading:

```text
plugin(mode="mcp", action="info", input={}, reasoning="inspect MCP registry health")
plugin(mode="mcp", action="settings", input={}, reasoning="show effective MCP settings")
plugin(mode="mcp", action="manual", input={}, reasoning="read MCP guidance")
```

- **info** re-reads registry/identity caches, reconciles the protected prompt
  section, and returns contents, problems and registry path—not the manual.
- **settings** reads effective init values; it neither edits nor proves liveness.
- **manual** returns this installed body as flat `mcp_manual` and `manual_path`,
  without registry I/O. Missing installation yields a degraded result, not fallback.

None registers, activates, configures, or fixes a server. Leave root
`summarize=false` when exact names or paths matter. Registry `problems` can
contain raw invalid lines: never publish the whole result or raw diagnostics;
report only line numbers and sanitized reasons, not credentials or private paths.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lingtai-ai/lingtai-kernel/mcp-manual@sha256:cf40d00bcb4a1712

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.6.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
