Research and Development: the newsletter
The research newsletter of mcp-tool-shop: what we measured, and what it means. Each issue reports the studio's experiments in plain language, with the numbers, the charts, what held up and what didn't.
This package mirrors the published issues and is updated automatically after each issue goes live on the site. It holds 31 issues. The newest is issue 33, 2026-10-28: 28 October: the T4 sweep is done, a ready-made critic fails its test, and Cognate learns to choose between plans.
