WellSpr.ing Civic MCP Portal Template & Documentation **WellSpr.ing Civic MCP — Portal Template & Documentation**
> The template repository for all area-code MCP portals in the [WellSpr.ing](https://wellspr.ing) NNN.today network.
This repository documents the schema, tools, governance, and infrastructure pattern used by all 32 (and growing) civic MCP portals. It is the `platform_docs` reference cited in the [federation manifest](https://wellspr.ing/mcp/federation.json).
---
## What is a WellSpr.ing Civic MCP Portal?
Each area-code portal is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server exposing six civic AI tools scoped to a US metro area. Together, the 32 portals form a federated civic AI substrate — independently operable, locally governed, nationally coherent.
## The Six Civic Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `get_local_news` | Latest civic news for the area |
| `get_free_items` | Hyperlocal mutual aid free-item exchange |
| `get_businesses` | Local business directory |
| `submit_civic_idea` | Civic participation intake — ideas → action |
| `get_civic_services` | Government services and contact information |
| `ody_chat` | Covenant-governed conversational civic AI (Ody) |
## File Structure
Each portal repo contains:
```
mcp-{areacode}/
├── server.json # MCP server descriptor (v2 schema)
├── README.md # Portal documentation
├── GOVERNANCE.md # Covenant governance reference
├── LICENSE # MIT
├── llms.txt # LLM discovery file
└── .well-known/
└── mcp.json # MCP discovery endpoint
```

```
## Federation Manifest
The canonical index of all portals: [wellspr.ing/mcp/federation.json](https://wellspr.ing/mcp/federation.json)
## Network Traversal
Any MCP-capable agent connected to one portal can traverse the entire network via `get_adjacent_nodes` — hop from 425 (Eastside WA) → 206 (Seattle) → 253 (Tacoma) → 360 (Western WA) without a central directory.
## Governance
All portals operate under the [Eight Principles](https://wellspr.ing/constitution). The WellSpr.ing covenant is non-hierarchical — each portal is locally governed, network-coherent.
VCAP attestation: [wellspr.ing/vault/ody/attestation-2026-04-17.json](https://wellspr.ing/vault/ody/attestation-2026-04-17.json)
## Infrastructure Architecture
```
Sovereign Primary: git.wellspr.ing/WellBuilder/mcp-{code} ← source of truth
└─push-mirror→ codeberg.org/wellspring/mcp-{code} ← community discovery
└─push-mirror→ github.com/WellBuilder/mcp-{code} ← commercial discovery (if restored)
```
See [NotGit.org/formula](https://notgit.org/formula) for the three-mirror architecture.
## Adding a New Portal
1. Fork this template
2. Update `server.json` with the area code's specifics
3. Open a pull request at [git.wellspr.ing/wellspring/civic-mcp](https://git.wellspr.ing/wellspring/civic-mcp)
4. Attest to the [Eight Principles](https://wellspr.ing/constitution)
