Edit direction

MCPedit_directionWRITE$0.02 / call

JUDGE a direction with the target reading, move its review date, or correct it. Free on every plan. 🔴 CLOSING ONE IS A SEPARATE SENTENCE FROM JUDGING THE CHANGES UNDER IT. status: "reached" says the docs now show up for this audience by what target predicted; a set of confirmed hypotheses does not say that on its own and never has. The reverse is the row this store exists to be able to write: every claim confirmed, the target still short — which means the opportunities addressed a smaller share of the audience than anybody thought, and the next direction is about the rest of it. result is what the re-check showed, written FOR THE OWNER: 'now on Google's first page for 2 of the 5 searches; the AI answer still names a competitor for the other 3'. The figures with their call ids go in method. abandoned is legitimate and needs the same honesty: say in result what changed about the audience or the market. This answers WHAT, not what to do about it. If you have not already got the method from docsbook_expert, get it first: it names which readings answer this question, what to compare them against, and what would make the conclusion wrong. One call, changes nothing.

Arguments
workspace_idstringoptional

Workspace ID (optional when MCP endpoint is auto-scoped). Numeric workspace id — OR the project as the user names it: 'owner/repo', the repo name alone, the site's display name, its docs URL or custom domain. Text is resolved server-side; an ambiguous name returns the candidates instead of guessing, so pass what the user said rather than calling list_workspaces first.

The goal it serves — the standing goal, a branch, or one of the owner's own. Checked against that list.

Try it over REST#

The same tool is callable as a plain HTTP request, no MCP client required. It runs on the same server, at the same price.

Your workspace is resolved from the API key, so workspace_id is decided server-side here and anything you send for it is ignored.
