Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

article
get_article
按 id 取一篇文章的完整元数据与全文。max_chars>0 时截断正文。
articles
list_articles
按时间/来源/标题子串浏览语料库(不做全文匹配,浏览用)。
context
get_context
单篇精读:返回该文章中命中 query 的段落及前后 window 段上下文(带段号)。 需要逐字引用原话时,必须从这里或 get_article 的返回文本中原样复制。
corpus
corpus_stats
语料库覆盖情况:总篇数、时间范围、来源分布、待抓取/失败数、站点总数对比。
phrase
phrase_trend
提法(tifa)趋势:每个提法在各时间桶的覆盖率(articles/per100)与强度(per10k_chars)。 提法的出现、升温、降温、消失是可观察的政策信号(CMP 方法论);时间桶零填充,消失本身即信号。 注意:per100 对高频词(如单字"党")会饱和于 100,看强度变化用 per10k_chars;小桶(of<20)噪声大。 适合对比同义/竞争提法,如 ["高质量发展","高速增长"]。
recent
recent_signals
新提法信号:近 days 天(上限365)相对之前 baseline_days 天(上限1095)基线明显升温 或全新出现的表述(锚定语料库最新文章日期)。baseline_count=0 即全新提法。 结果带 baseline_thin 标志,基线过薄时 ratio 仅供参考。用于预测前的信号扫描。
search
search
全文检索语料库。query 支持多个词(空格分隔;mode="and" 全部命中 / "or" 任一命中, 可用于同义提法集合)。date_from/date_to 格式 YYYY-MM-DD;source 可选来源子串; order 可选 relevance/newest/oldest。返回 id、标题、日期、来源和命中片段。
topic
topic_timeline
主题证据时间线:按时间桶(year/quarter/month)返回该主题最相关的若干篇(含片段), 用于追踪他在某问题上表述的演变。研究特定场景/问题时先用这个建立证据骨架。

China PolicySignal — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can China PolicySignal do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: corpus_stats, get_article, get_context, list_articles, phrase_trend, recent_signals and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is China PolicySignal working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 266 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists China PolicySignal as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect China PolicySignal?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does China PolicySignal need an API key?
No. China PolicySignal completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is China PolicySignal open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
