The goal is simple:\nhelp an assistant find the right part of a repo before it burns context on raw\nfile reads.\n\nIt is intentionally boring in a good way: local SQLite FTS5, deterministic\nfull-text search, no embeddings, no vector database, and no external service.\n\n## What it is good for\n\nUse `chapter-mcp` when an assistant needs project context but does not yet know\nwhich file or section matters. Good fits:\n\n- project README sections\n- `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, instructions, and local notes\n- ADRs and design docs\n- Markdown/TXT documentation\n- source files where top-level classes or functions make useful chapters\n- focused reads after a search result points to the right line range\n\nNot a good fit:\n\n- exact code matching with punctuation, operators, routes, or config keys\n- symbol references, definitions, diagnostics, or safe edits\n- fuzzy semantic search across very different wording\n\nFor those, keep using the sharper tool: `rg` for exact text, Serena or another\nlanguage-aware tool for symbols, raw file reads for known ranges, and\nvector/RAG tooling for real semantic retrieval.\n\n## How chapters work\n\n`chapter-mcp` turns files into smaller units: Markdown by headings, Python by\ntop-level classes/functions, and other text files by paragraphs. Search results\npoint to chapter names and line ranges. Reads can return a whole chapter or a\nlimited slice of chapter content.\n\nBy default, if no explicit config is provided, `chapter-mcp` discovers visible\ntop-level project entries and indexes them. In a Git repo it uses tracked files,\nskips hidden top-level entries and `.chapter-mcp`, respects `.gitignore`, and\napplies `.aiignore` rules.\n\nThat means the happy path is: add the MCP server to your assistant, star…","publisher":{"name":"Marco Mengelkoch","url":null},"homepage":"https://github.com/marcomq/chapter-mcp","repository":"https://github.com/marcomq/chapter-mcp","version":"0.1.1","license":"MIT","protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["chapters","fts5","mcp","search"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:chapter-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","license":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi","publisherName":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"data.vector-search","name":"Vector Search","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"code.documentation","name":"Code Documentation","confidence":0.848,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"data.database","name":"Databases","confidence":0.802,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"dev.docs-lookup","name":"Documentation Lookup","confidence":0.791,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["code","data","dev"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"chapter-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-11-09T01:27:27.739Z","publishedAt":"2026-05-26T21:29:15.237150Z","latestVersion":"0.1.1"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"chapter-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/chapter-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T11:30:06.977Z","fetchedAt":"2026-11-09T01:26:29.922Z","normalizedAt":"2026-11-09T01:26:29.922Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T11:30:06.977Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-09T01:27:27.739Z"}
