Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only access to Moyne Ross research on commercial property capital and its Technical Library of building elements, with search, retrieval and citations.

What you can do
  • Search the papers, Technical Library, methodology and sample strategy, with match strength and canonical URLs
  • List and read Capital Made Physical papers by part, slug or number, as summary, section or full text
  • List and read Technical Library pages on building elements and functional spaces, including severity and remedies
  • Explain the Capital Register and MR Index methodology, and read the sample Capital Strategy
  • Generate exact citations in BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, APA or Harvard
  • Explain how Moyne Ross engagements work and return a prefilled request-form link for one building
When to use it
Useful when someone needs sourced background on commercial or multi-unit property capital: lifecycle and condition, obsolescence, refurbishment, energy, leases, due diligence, or how a specific building element fails and what to look for. Also fits requests for citable references or for how to request a Capital Strategy.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no authentication, API keys or environment variables are declared. Works from any MCP client; the OpenAI/ChatGPT endpoint exposes only the eight research tools.
Before you install
The research and library are general: library pages carry no prices and are never evidence about a particular building's condition. A Capital Strategy is desk-based, not an inspection, valuation or cost guarantee. The server is read-only and cannot assess a building, order anything or access client data; the request-form tool sends nothing itself. Content is not MIT licensed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Moyne Ross in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.Steven3265%2Fmoyneross/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Moyne Ross MCP

Moyne Ross research on commercial property and capital, served over the Model Context Protocol. A connected assistant can search and cite Capital Made Physical (49 papers on what commercial property is becoming) and the Technical Library (103 pages, one for each building element and functional space a Capital Strategy assesses: how it fails, what to look for, how serious a finding is, what fixes it), explain the Capital Register and the MR Index, read a sample Capital Strategy, and, for one actual building, hand the person to the Moyne Ross Start your strategy form already filled in.

Public, read-only, and separate from every client system. The server bundles a snapshot of public files from moyneross.com; it has no route to the Moyne Ross portal, client strategies, payments or any database.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_researchRanked search of the papers, the Technical Library, the methodology and the sample (scope: technical for the library alone). Every answer carries canonical URLs, a match strength with the evidence for it (distinctiveness-weighted coverage, matched and missing words), and, when the match is weak, questions the corpus does answer. Practitioner shorthand is understood (capex, dilaps, MEES, LL97, TDD). response_format: detailed adds a citation per result.
list_papersThe papers in reading order, a page at a time (cursor), optionally for one part (I to VII).
get_paperOne paper by slug, CMP number or URL. A summary by default (question, answer, summary, limitations, anchored sections); section for one section; format: full for the whole text. Always with a citation.
explain_methodThe Capital Register or the MR Index: the definition and sections by default, section or format: full for more.
get_sample_strategyA real Capital Strategy with identifying details changed: the summary, or the register as an overview by section or one section's lines with their cost basis.
list_technical_pagesThe Technical Library in framework order (Substructure to Environmental), a page at a time, by section or page type, with the severity scale every page grades findings on.
get_technical_pageOne library page by slug, element name or URL. A summary by default (question, answer, where it applies, limitations, sources, anchored sections); section for one section (severity, diagnosis, remedies…); format: full for the whole page. Always with a citation.
cite_paperAn exact citation, to a paper or library page or one section, in BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, APA or Harvard, generated rather than retyped by the model.
working_with_moyne_rossHow engagements work and the published terms. Not offered on /mcp/openai or to ChatGPT.
start_strategy_linkFor a person who asks to request a Capital Strategy for one building: the request form link with the details they gave. Nothing is sent. Not offered on /mcp/openai or to ChatGPT.

Every tool is read-only, with all four annotations set explicitly, input and output schemas, and icons. Prompts: answer_from_research, compare_papers (with paper autocompletion), brief_on_topic and read_a_building_element (with library autocompletion). Resources: moyneross://catalogue, the templates moyneross://papers/{slug} and moyneross://technical/{slug} (with autocompletion), moyneross://methods/{capital-register|mr-index} and moyneross://sample. Results link to them with resource_link blocks.

Built for every assistant's limits

Default answers stay under 20,000 characters (GitHub Copilot keeps them inline), every answer's text under 40,000 (Gemini CLI's truncation point), and the tools that can return a full paper declare anthropic/maxResultSizeChars so Claude Code keeps them inline too. Summaries come first; sections, full text and the register's lines are one argument away.

Citations that survive

The papers have 400 anchored sections between them and the library 1,133, matching the anchors on moyneross.com, so a claim can be cited to the exact section. Citations carry the corpus version (for example 2026-11-08.70433cca: date and content fingerprint), so the cited text can always be identified.

Other interfaces

  • REST: GET /v1/search, /v1/papers, /v1/paper, /v1/technical, /v1/method, /v1/sample, /v1/cite, /v1/engage (OpenAPI 3.1). Answers carry the clean canonical URL to cite and a separate attributed referralUrl.
  • Server card: /mcp/server-card · Service metadata: /server-card.json · Health and content fingerprint: /health
  • Packaging: Claude plugin (.claude-plugin/, .mcp.json), GitHub Copilot (.github/plugin/), agent-plugins (plugin.json, mcp.json), Gemini (gemini-extension.json), the OpenAI submission package (distribution/openai/) and the GitHub Agent Finder pack (distribution/github-agentfinder/).
  • Skills: skills/commercial-capital-research and skills/capital-strategy-handover, also served at https://mcp.moyneross.com/skills/{name}/SKILL.md (npm run sync:skills keeps the copies identical).
  • Docs: tool contract · protocol support · security · benchmark · architecture · deployment · content terms · security contact at /.well-known/security.txt

How it stays right

  • One corpus, three readers. The snapshot is built from files the website's own publishing scripts produce (/insights/export.json, /insights/search-index.json, /technical/export.json, /llms.txt, the methodology and sample pages). The ranking of the papers, methodology and sample is a faithful port of the website's public retrieval benchmark, on the website's own statistics, so the benchmark, the site search and this server rank them alike; library pages are scored beside them (see docs/BENCHMARK.md).
  • Deterministic snapshot. data/corpus.json is dated from the content (the latest sitemap date), never the clock. A daily workflow rebuilds it and opens a pull request only when moyneross.com has actually changed.
  • Checked on every change (npm run check): release metadata (including the Agent Skills and Agent Plugins rules); skill copies; snapshot validation (structure, no secrets, none of the sample's real identifiers); 27 core tests; three retrieval benchmarks (the website's 56 allocator questions: all in the top three and strong; 24 questions in practitioners' shorthand: 23 in the top three, 22 strong; 26 building-element questions: all in the top three with scope: technical, 24 unscoped); the protocol suite (2026-07-28 cache fields, ordering, result metadata and error codes; annotations, icons and size ceilings on every tool; prompts and completion; neutral answers on every surface; research only on the OpenAI surface); the REST suite; and per-client answer-size budgets, hostile input and speed. The official MCP conformance suite runs in its own workflow (25 live checks). Each release is a GitHub Release with a CycloneDX SBOM.

Boundaries and privacy

The research and the Technical Library are general; the library describes how elements behave and carries no prices. A Capital Strategy is desk-based and reviewed by Moyne Ross before release; it is not an inspection, a valuation or a guarantee of cost. The server cannot assess a building, order anything, access client data or modify any system.

Telemetry is operational only: protocol method, tool name, query length, scope, counts, match strength, a coarse client family, outcome and duration. Questions, addresses, names, emails and IP addresses are not logged by the application. Privacy: moyneross.com/privacy#connector.

search_research

Search Moyne Ross research

Search the public Moyne Ross corpus on commercial property and capital: 49 Capital Made Physical papers, the Technical Library (103 pages on building elements and functional spaces: how each fails, what to look for, how serious a finding is, remedies), the Capital Register and MR Index methodology, and a sample Capital Strategy. Use for capital planning, lifecycle and condition, obsolescence, refurbish or redevelop, energy and solar, leases and make good, due diligence, the Australian, British and US markets, and for how a building element or system fails and is judged. For a question about one element or system (a roof, a façade, a chiller, lifts, fire services), scope technical searches the library alone. Returns ranked results with canonical URLs and a match strength with the matched and missing words; when the match is weak, the results are background only. General research: it does not assess a particular building.
