compare_governance_outcomes

Aggregate governance throughput over a window: CIPs that changed status (approved / rejected / advanced), counts of cip-vote and cip-discuss mailing activity, and dev-fund proposals merged or closed. Canton-specific. Use to summarise "what governance has shipped this quarter?".

  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"compare_governance_outcomes","arguments":{}}}'

detect_cip_dependency_chain

Walk the CIP requires: graph from a starting CIP or PR draft. Returns the full chain of prerequisites that must reach Final before the starting proposal becomes implementable, with each prerequisite's current status. Accepts both approved CIPs ("CIP-0112", "0112") and dev-fund PR drafts ("PR-203"). Canton governance only. Use when planning around a CIP that hasn't shipped yet.

get_cip

Fetch the full markdown body of a single Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP) by its ID (e.g. "CIP-0042", "0042", "PR-0117"). Use when you already know which CIP and need its complete text. title, status, author, and full content. For browsing or filtering multiple CIPs use list_cips; for status timeline use get_cip_history. Canton/Daml/Splice ecosystem only. not Cardano or other 'CIP' schemes.

curl -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \

get_cip_attachments

List file/PDF attachments linked to a single Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP). supporting docs and signed-vote-record PDFs, with filenames and URLs. Use to find downloadable artifacts for a CIP. For the parsed who-voted-how breakdown use get_cip_votes; for the proposal text use get_cip. Canton ecosystem only. not Cardano or other 'CIP' schemes.

curl -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \

get_cip_citations

Comprehensive citation graph for a Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP). every place across CCPEDIA's corpus that references CIP-N. Returns per-source counts AND samples for: sibling CIPs (declared requires: or content-mentions), individual forum posts (not just topic count), individual mailing-list messages (cip-vote / cip-discuss / grants-discuss / validator-announce), GitHub items (issues + PRs + dev-fund proposals across all indexed Canton repos), blog posts (third-party coverage), and YouTube videos (transcript matches). CCPEDIA-unique: joins through our parsed mailing_messages.cip_id column give per-message granularity no other source has. Use when an agent needs 'who is referencing CIP-X and where' / impact analysis. For the proposal's own text use get_cip, for its votes use get_cip_votes, for the legacy aggregated counts use get_cip_mentions. Canton/Daml/Splice ecosystem only.

get_cip_history

Get the status-transition timeline of a single Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP). each dated from->to change (e.g. Draft->Review->Final). Use for 'how/when did CIP-X move through governance' questions. Returns history only, not the proposal body (get_cip) or vote tallies (get_cip_votes). Canton ecosystem only. not Cardano or other 'CIP' schemes.

curl -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \

  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_cip_history","arguments":{}}}'

get_cip_implementation_status

For one CIP, report whether code/grants are tracking the proposal: linked dev-fund PRs, related ecosystem projects, status transitions. Canton governance. Use after find_cip_for_feature to gauge readiness.

curl -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_cip_implementation_status","arguments":{}}}'

get_cip_mentions

Find every place that references a given Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP). forum threads, mailing-list posts, blog articles, Dev Fund grant proposals, and sibling CIPs that require/cite it. A reverse-reference (backlink) lookup: use for 'who is discussing CIP-X and where' / impact questions. Not for the proposal's own text (get_cip) or its vote records (get_cip_votes). Canton ecosystem only. not Cardano or other 'CIP' schemes.

curl -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \

get_cip_votes

Get the formal vote tally (in-favor / against / abstain, one entry per recorded vote) for a specific Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP), sourced from the Canton cip-vote mailing list. Use for 'who voted how' / approval-trail verification on Governance-type CIPs. Not the attachment PDFs (get_cip_attachments) or status timeline (get_cip_history). Canton ecosystem only. not Cardano or other 'CIP' schemes.

curl -X POST https://ccpedia.xyz/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \

list_cips

Browse Canton Improvement Proposals (CIPs), optionally filtered by status (Draft/Review/Final/Withdrawn/Rejected/Superseded) and type (e.g. "Standards Track"). Returns a metadata list (id, title, status, type, author). not full text. Use to discover or enumerate CIPs when you don't have a specific ID; use get_cip to read one. Canton/Daml/Splice governance only. not Cardano or other 'CIP' schemes.
