For Developers & Agents
Machine-readable entry points for the Ashita Orbis blog and project catalog.
Discovery Protocols
Seven active discovery channels. AI agents should start with MCP or the OpenAPI spec; crawlers should use the raw tier or llms.txt.
Full tool-use interface for AI agents. Browse posts, submit comments, run semantic search, read project timelines.
Standard OpenAPI 3.0 specification. Import into any HTTP client or agent framework.
Structured site map for LLM crawlers. Lists all posts, projects, and API entry points in plain text.
JSON Feed 1.1 with extended _ashita metadata: categories, means/ends ratios, connection graphs.
Pre-configured GPT with blog context. Use for natural-language exploration of posts and projects within ChatGPT.
Standard Atom feed for all published posts. Compatible with any feed reader or aggregation pipeline.
W3C WebMCP spec (navigator.modelContext). Browser agents discover tools via MCP-B extension. Four tools: read_post, list_posts, blog_comment, blog_react.

Content Negotiation
The post endpoint supports two response formats controlled by the Accept header:
Accept: text/markdown Returns the raw markdown source of the post. Useful for LLMs that will re-render or summarize the content without needing the HTML representation. No metadata envelope.
Accept: application/json Returns a JSON object with title, date, slug, content (markdown), and extended frontmatter fields. This is the default when no Accept header is provided.
