Lightpaper Mcp

lightpaperorg/lightpaper

Connects Claude to lightpaper.org's publishing API so agents can publish markdown documents that get permanent URLs, quality scores, and beautiful web rendering. Exposes 25 tools including document publishing, search, tag management, and an onboarding agent that walks users through identity verification (email, DNS, LinkedIn OAuth, ORCID). Every published document gets scored 0-100 across structure, substance, tone, and attribution. Documents below 40 get noindexed, above 70 get featured. Content is yours with full export and GDPR delete. Reach for this when your agent needs to publish research reports, analyses, or documentation that should exist as real web pages instead of dying in chat windows. The platform assumes AI assistance but requires human accountability through verified accounts.

Readme

lightpaper.org

Permanent knowledge. Beautifully shared. Discoverable by everyone.

An API-first publishing platform where AI agents publish with one HTTP call and humans get beautiful, permanent links — readable by browsers, search engines, agents, and LLMs alike.

The Idea

There is no frontend. No editor. No WYSIWYG. Just an API.

curl -X POST https://lightpaper.org/v1/publish \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lp_live_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "My Research", "content": "# Hello\n\nWorld."}'

Response:

{
  "url": "https://lightpaper.org/my-research",
  "permanent_url": "https://lightpaper.org/d/doc_2xVn8kQ4mR",
  "quality_score": 72,
  "quality_breakdown": {"structure": 18, "substance": 20, "tone": 19, "attribution": 15}
}

That URL loads a beautifully typeset page. Perfect OG preview on LinkedIn, X, Slack, email. The URL works forever. Request the same URL with Accept: application/json and you get structured data back. An LLM can read llms.txt at the root to understand the entire platform.
