# Caper

Caper is a DAO launchpad on Radix where every organization's full decision, capital, and governance history is immutable, timestamped, and on-chain. Each DAO's wiki – its company layer – surfaces that on-chain record (proposals, trades, treasury movements) alongside human-authored knowledge.

## MCP (recommended)

Caper serves read-only Model Context Protocol servers over JSON-RPC (POST).
Prefer them over crawling the lists below.

- Knowledge base: POST https://caper.network/api/mcp
  Tools: search_wiki, get_page, get_pages, list_pages, get_recent_changes, get_categories, get_full_corpus, list_daos
  get_pages reads up to 20 pages in one call – use it instead of looping get_page over search results.
  get_full_corpus takes sizeOnly=true, so you can size the whole corpus before pulling it.
- Any single DAO: POST https://caper.network/wiki/caper/<CASHTAG>/mcp
  Adds get_ledger – treasury balance, proposal/trade/execution timeline, executed grants and payouts, inter-DAO funding edges.
  list_daos on the knowledge-base server enumerates every DAO and its MCP endpoint.

Each server returns its own usage guide in the `initialize` response.

## Reading without MCP

Every surface below is a plain GET, for agents and crawlers that do not speak JSON-RPC.

- One page as markdown: append .md to any page or essay URL
- One page as JSON (blocks + metadata): the same path under /api/wiki/
- The entire knowledge base as one document: https://caper.network/llms-full.txt
- A single DAO's pages plus its live ledger: https://caper.network/wiki/caper/<CASHTAG>/llms.txt
- A DAO's EIP-4824 description document: https://caper.network/wiki/caper/<CASHTAG>/dao.json
