# ArchLink MCP

> An MCP server for the early-stage research an architect does before design work begins:
> design codes, precedent projects, plot planning conditions, site surroundings and city
> economics. The knowledge behind it is Chinese (GB / JGJ codes, municipal regulatory plans,
> Chinese cities and projects); for projects outside China the retrieval side has nothing
> to offer. Currently in closed beta.

The tool descriptions this server sends to a client are written in Chinese and are
instructions for the model, not documentation for a reader. The English on this site is
written for the site and is deliberately not a translation of them.
