What this is: a retrieval and discourse-analysis tool over publicly available official texts — it surfaces what was said, when, and how phrasing evolves, with verbatim, source-linked citations. What this is not: not a prediction service, not an endorsement, not a tool for profiling private individuals. Analytical outputs are labeled research inference, never fabricated quotes or claims of certainty. In the tradition of open China-studies tooling such as the China Media Project and CSIS Interpret: China.

Quick start

• Claude Code (fastest): claude mcp add --transport http --scope user policy-signal https://policy-signal.onrender.com/mcp
• Claude Desktop / ChatGPT / Cursor / VS Code / Cline / Windsurf: add a custom / remote MCP connector and paste the URL above (no authentication). Per-client steps in USER-GUIDE.md.

Then ask your assistant:

Find the source. "What has Xi said about AI governance? Quote the key passages with dates and source links."

Track a formulation. "Chart how often 新质生产力 (new quality productive forces) appears each year since 2012, and show me the document where it first emerged."

See framing evolve. "Build a timeline of how the framing around 共同富裕 (common prosperity) changed, citing one document per phase."

Each answer comes back with article IDs, publication dates, and links to the original — so every quote can be checked against the source.

Capabilities

Tool	What it does
search / list_articles	Full-text search (synonym/OR sets, time-sorted) with metadata filters
get_article / get_context	Retrieve a document / close-read a passage — the only source of verbatim quotes
topic_timeline	Evidence timeline of how a topic's framing evolves year over year
phrase_trend	Track a formulation's rise / fall / disappearance over time (tifa signal; zero-filled buckets so "no longer mentioned" is visible)
recent_signals	Scan for recently rising or newly appearing formulations
corpus_stats / update_corpus	Coverage & freshness / incremental refresh (refresh disabled on the public endpoint)

Two guided prompts — scenario_research(topic) and event_prediction(event) — walk a client model through an evidence-first method: build a timeline → compare formulations → close-read turning points → layered high/medium/low-confidence inference with explicit falsification points.

Method & guardrails

• Every claim is anchored to a document (id + date + source URL). Verbatim quotes come only from get_context / get_article, checked against the corpus.
• Facts vs. inference are labeled separately. The analytical prompts forecast themes, framing, and formulation priorities — never a verbatim script, a specific dated event, or a probability of an act.
• Research framing. Outputs are documentary research over public statements, not prophecy.

Corpus & sources

Public official statements as published on open government sources; see SOURCES.md. The corpus stores document text and metadata for search and citation and is not offered as a bulk-download dataset; every result links back to its original publication. Usage limits and troubleshooting are in USER-GUIDE.md.
