MCP Server

The library, inside your AI tools.

Beyond Chat ships a remote MCP server: Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-capable client can search all patterns, pull full framing and DOPE claims, and cite the verified product examples — while you design, write, or build. Free and open.

Connect

https://mcp.beyondchat.design/mcp

Claude (claude.ai): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste this URL.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http beyond-chat https://mcp.beyondchat.design/mcp

Other MCP clients: streamable HTTP at /mcp; legacy SSE clients use /sse on the same host.

Tools

list_patterns

Browse the catalog with filters: category, primary DOPE axis, lifecycle stage, agent-readiness, research status.

search_patterns

Ranked full-text search across titles, framing, DOPE claims, and the verified product examples.

get_pattern

The full record for one pattern — description, framing (problem / pattern / why chat breaks / risks / avoid when), DOPE claims, in-the-wild examples, related patterns, FAQ.

get_dope_framework

The evaluation lens itself: the four DOPE axes and the five categories.

For builders

The server reads from the library’s public machine-readable feed — /api/patterns.json — which you can also use directly. The Worker source lives in the repo’s mcp/ directory. Pattern updates reach connected clients with every site deploy. New to the catalog? Start with the patterns.
