MCP Initialization
The server implements Model Context Protocol v2025-03-26. Initialize with:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "initialize",
"params": {
"protocolVersion": "2025-03-26",
"capabilities": {},
"clientInfo": {
"name": "my-client",
"version": "1.0.0"
}
},
"id": 0
}
Response includes server capabilities, protocol version, and instructions.
Caching Behavior
Results are cached locally in the live service at https://lunoo.com/mcp:
- Browse page (used by find_niche): 24 hours
- Rankings JSON (used by get_rankings): 15 minutes
- Item pages (used by get_item): 15 minutes
When self-hosting, cache is in-memory per server instance and cleared on restart.
Error Handling
On failure (404, timeout, network error), tools return:
{
"isError": true,
"content": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Niche \"invalid-slug\" not found (404). Try find_niche to discover available niches."
}
]
}
Never throws unhandled exceptions; all errors are JSON-RPC compliant.
