           TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
        
           1. Definitions.
        
              "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
              and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
        
              "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
              the copyright owner that is granting the License.
        
              "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
              other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
              control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
              "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
              direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
              otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
              outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
        
              "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
              exercising permissions granted by this License.
        
              "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
              including but not limited to software source code, documentation
              source, and configuration files.
        
              "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
              transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
              not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
              and conversions to other media types.
        
              "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
              Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
              copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
              (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
        
              "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
              form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
              editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
              represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
              of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
              separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
              the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
        
              "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
              the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
              to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
              submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
              or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
              the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
              means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
              to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
              communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
              and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
              Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
              excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
              designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
        
              "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
              on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
              subsequently incorporated within the Work.
        
           2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
              publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
              Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
        
           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
        
           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
        
           APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
        
              To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
              boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
              replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
              the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
              comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
              file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
              same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
              identification within third-party archives.

# mycouncil — MCP server

Run multi-LLM **myCouncil** debates from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and
any other [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)-aware client.

Thin wrapper over the public [myCouncil API](https://app.mycouncil.xyz/api/v1/docs).
Rounds, billing, and auto-config mode live on your account — the MCP server
just relays calls.

## What's new

**0.3.0** — optional **streamable-http** transport
(`--transport streamable-http`). Run the server as one long-lived HTTP
service instead of a per-client stdio process — the async server handles
concurrent debates natively (no stdio→HTTP bridge in front). Identity is
unchanged: a single `MYCOUNCIL_API_KEY` from the environment. stdio stays
the default. See [Running over streamable HTTP](#running-over-streamable-http).

**0.2.0** — added `mycouncil_info` (orientation guide agents can call once
per session) and `mycouncil_list_roles` (browse the curated expert-role
catalogue when composing a custom council). 8 tools total now.

**0.1.0** — initial release: 6 tools, tier abstraction (`fast` / `balanced`
/ `deep`), model IDs hidden from the agent.

## Setup

1. Sign up at <https://app.mycouncil.xyz> (10 free rounds).
2. Pick your auto-config mode under **Account → Auto-config Settings**
   (`standard` is free; `advanced` costs 1 round per call).
3. Create an API key under **Account → API**. The key is shown once — save it.
4. Register the MCP server in your client (see below).

Nothing to install — `uvx` fetches the package on first use. Requires
[`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (`curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`).

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add mycouncil \
  --env MYCOUNCIL_API_KEY=mc_your_key_here \
  -- uvx mycouncil
```

### Claude Desktop / Cursor

In `claude_desktop_config.json` or `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mycouncil": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mycouncil"],
      "env": { "MYCOUNCIL_API_KEY": "mc_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Running over streamable HTTP

By default the server runs over **stdio** — one process per client, spawned
by the MCP client. You can instead run it as a single long-lived
**streamable-http** service:

```bash
MYCOUNCIL_API_KEY=mc_your_key_here \
  uvx mycouncil --transport streamable-http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
```

The endpoint is then `http://<host>:<port>/mcp`. Point any streamable-http
MCP client at it:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mycouncil": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Or, with the Claude Code CLI (no env var on the client — the key lives with
the running service):

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http mycouncil http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp
```

This is **single-identity**: every request uses the one `MYCOUNCIL_API_KEY`
the process was started with — all callers share that account's rounds and
balance. It is not multi-tenant; it just lets one process speak HTTP
natively so concurrent debates run on the async event loop without a
stdio→HTTP bridge funnelling them through a single pipe. The transport runs
in stateless mode (a fresh transport per request), so there is no session
affinity to manage.

Notes:

- **Binding beyond localhost.** The default bind is `127.0.0.1`. If you set
  `--host 0.0.0.0` (e.g. behind a reverse proxy), the localhost-only
  DNS-rebinding guard is relaxed automatically — put the service behind your
  own proxy / network controls, since anyone who can reach the port spends
  the configured key's quota.
- **Long-running debates.** Blocking `mycouncil_debate` holds the HTTP
  response open while it polls (up to `timeout_minutes`, default 20) with no
  bytes flowing. Raise idle timeouts on any intermediary proxy, or prefer
  the async pair `mycouncil_debate_start` + `mycouncil_debate_status` over
  HTTP.

All flags have environment-variable equivalents (`MYCOUNCIL_TRANSPORT`,
`MYCOUNCIL_HTTP_HOST`, `MYCOUNCIL_HTTP_PORT`, `MYCOUNCIL_HTTP_PATH`) — see
[Environment variables](#environment-variables).

## Tools

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `mycouncil_info` | One-call agent orientation: flows, tier semantics, quota notes. Call once at the start of a session. |
| `mycouncil_balance` | Remaining rounds + current auto-config mode. |
| `mycouncil_list_roles` | List curated system + own + team expert roles. Use their `id` as `role_preset` when composing a custom council. |
| `mycouncil_auto_config` | Generate a session config from a query. Returns roles + temperatures + `tier`. **Concrete model IDs are not exposed** — the planner and the server pick them based on the tier. |
| `mycouncil_debate_start` | Start a debate, return `job_id`. Accepts a config returned by `mycouncil_auto_config` (with or without edits). |
| `mycouncil_debate_status` | Poll a debate by `job_id`. |
| `mycouncil_debate` | Blocking: start, poll, return the finished result. `return_as`: `pdf` (default) / `transcript` / `link`. |
| `mycouncil_share` | Share or export an existing conversation: `format=link` (public URL) or `format=pdf` (file on disk). |

## How tiers work

The planner LLM picks one of three operating tiers based on the question:

- **fast** — quick + cheap models, for simple / casual questions.
- **balanced** — sweet spot. Default for typical analytical questions.
- **deep** — slow + reasoning-heavy models, for high-stakes / complex /
  irreversible decisions. Only available in **advanced** auto-config mode.

Tiers are an operating mode, not a quality rank — `deep` does not always
beat `balanced` in absolute terms, it just takes more time and money. The
planner is instructed to lean toward `balanced` and not escalate by default.

After `mycouncil_auto_config`, you may edit `config["tier"]` and roles
before passing it to `mycouncil_debate(_start)`. MCP fills concrete models
from the tier locally; the agent never sees specific provider names.

## Quotas

- Three-stage council: **1 round** per debate, deducted at start.
- `mycouncil_auto_config` is **free** in `standard` mode, **1 round** in
  `advanced` mode (refunded if the planner LLM fails).
- `mycouncil_debate` auto-configures internally if you don't pass a config —
  calling `mycouncil_auto_config` first only makes sense to preview / tweak
  the config. In `advanced` mode that bills you twice.

## Environment variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `MYCOUNCIL_API_KEY` | yes | — | Your `mc_*` key from Account → API. |
| `MYCOUNCIL_BASE_URL` | no | `https://app.mycouncil.xyz` | Override for staging / self-hosted. |
| `MYCOUNCIL_TRANSPORT` | no | `stdio` | `stdio` or `streamable-http`. Overridden by `--transport`. |
| `MYCOUNCIL_HTTP_HOST` | no | `127.0.0.1` | Bind host for streamable-http. Overridden by `--host`. |
| `MYCOUNCIL_HTTP_PORT` | no | `8000` | Bind port for streamable-http. Overridden by `--port`. |
| `MYCOUNCIL_HTTP_PATH` | no | `/mcp` | Endpoint path for streamable-http. Overridden by `--path`. |

## Examples

Simplest path — let myCouncil pick everything:

> Run `mycouncil_debate` on "Should we migrate our backend from FastAPI to Go?"
> and return the result as a PDF in `./review.pdf`.

Preview and escalate the tier before running (advanced mode):

> Use `mycouncil_auto_config` for "Replace our entire ML infra with a custom RAG
> system, $3M budget". If the planner returns `tier: balanced`, change it to
> `deep` and run `mycouncil_debate` with the edited config.

Async polling:

> Start the debate with `mycouncil_debate_start`, then poll
> `mycouncil_debate_status` every minute until status is `complete` or `failed`.
