For agents
The blueprint as an MCP server
World Class Manufacturing in the Age of AI is available to AI agents as a remote MCP server. An agent connected to it can list the parts, read and search the published sections, and quote the author’s own key messages, instead of scraping these pages.

What the server will and won’t do
- Published parts only. An unpublished part shows its title, sections, release date and sources. Its text isn’t available through any tool until it’s released.
- “In practice” guidance is never returned to an agent. The tool returns a link, and the person opens it.
- The action tools subscribe nobody and send nothing. They return a link, and the person who owns the email address completes it.
- Link-creating calls are limited to 20 per hour per caller.
- Key messages are written by the author, not generated per request. Two agents asking the same question get the same sentence.
