MCP Progressive Disclosure

The MCP server uses tiered tool loading to keep context windows lean. By default, only 9 tools are exposed:

Essential (always loaded): begin_session, end_session_full, whoami, claim_port, release_port, add_note, acquire_lock, list_services, pd_discover

To access more tools: Call pd_discover with a category name (e.g. pd_discover({category: "dns"})) to see full schemas, then call those tools directly.

Categories: session-lifecycle, ports, sessions, notes, locks, messaging, agents, integration, dns, briefing, tunnels, system

Full mode: Pass --full to pd mcp or set PORT_DADDY_MCP_FULL=1 to load all 45 tools.
