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,

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.
