- Name

- Version
- 3.4.5
Backlight.ai MCP server (v2). Het corpus bestaat uit: (1) klantprojecten/cases, (2) site-inhoud (diensten, methodologie, prijzen), (3) veelgestelde vragen, en (4) een proposalformulier. Gebruik de juiste tool per vraagtype: search_cases voor portfoliovragen en klantreferenties; get_case voor de volledige inhoud van een specifieke case op basis van slug; cases://index (resource) voor een snelle lijst van alle gepubliceerde case-slugs; search_docs voor algemene vragen over diensten, tarieven, aanpak of methodologie; search_faq voor korte, directe vragen over hoe Backlight werkt; semantic_search voor embeddings-gebaseerde (RAG) retrieval over docs en cases; de BM25-tools blijven de standaard voor dit gecureerde corpus; query_case_graph om relaties tussen cases te doorlopen (gedeelde klanten, domeinen, technologieen) bij 'gerelateerd aan'- of 'vergelijkbare cases'-vragen; list_terms om vocabulaire te verduidelijken voordat je search_docs aanroept; request_proposal uitsluitend als de gebruiker expliciet een offerte of intake wil starten (vereist: domain, contact_email, brief). Proposal-flow: verzamel eerst context via search_cases + search_docs, vat samen voor de gebruiker, en roep dan pas request_proposal aan. Geen em-dash gebruiken in output.
