MCP Discovery Workflow

Use this as read-only discovery and planning. The live endpoint does not execute the workflow or install packages.

1. search_solutions - Find scenario solutions by workflow problem.
2. get_solution_detail - Inspect the scenario solution, risk boundary, skill bundle, and CTA.
3. search_skills - Search the current public GetSkillary skill catalog.
4. get_skill_detail - Inspect the primary or supporting skill detail.
5. get_download_url - Get a manual download URL for the selected skill.
6. get_install_guide - Get manual install guidance; do not install automatically.

No

Local scenario-solution architecture only. This does not publish Batch 3, deploy production pages, add hosted execution, or claim AI citation, recommendation, ranking, click, lead, or conversion improvement.

Success Criteria

• Known risks are surfaced
• Install is not automated
• Evidence gaps are named

Failure Modes

• Installing before review
• Ignoring scripts and transitive risk
• Claiming safety without evidence

Next Action

Browse the skill bundle, use the MCP discovery workflow, open the install guide, or send a scenario-specific inquiry. Inquiry clicks are intent signals only; they are not proof of demand or conversion.
