Implementation

Tools

get_chapter(n: 1..81)                    // Direct access
search_principles(query, context?, limit?) // Semantic search  
get_principles_by_topic(topic)           // Structured wisdom
get_core_principles()                    // Essential five
get_philosophical_context(aspect?)       // Deep background

Resources

way://chapters/all       // Complete collection (JSON)
way://principles/core    // The five pillars (JSON)  
way://philosophy/overview // Framework (Markdown)
way://keywords/index     // Search index (JSON)

Prompts

code_review_with_tao     // Philosophical review
architecture_guidance    // Design wisdom
debugging_meditation     // Mindful troubleshooting

Each primitive serves its nature. The composition emerges.

Usage

Search

await mcp.call('search_principles', {
  query: 'debugging complex systems',
  context: 'Production performance issue'
});

Access

await mcp.readResource('way://chapters/all');

Guide

await mcp.getPrompt('code_review_with_tao', {
  code: source,
  focus: 'simplicity'
});

The tools do not explain themselves. They simply work.

Principles

Simplicity over complexity
Flow over force
Humility over ego
Balance over extremes
Presence over rushing

Code emerges from understanding. Understanding emerges from practice.

Integration

Works with any MCP client. No configuration beyond the essential.

The protocol serves the wisdom. The wisdom serves the code.
