What gets repeated across 162 tracked podcasts — claims extracted from 10,000+ episodes, each carrying the measurement behind its status: how many independent podcasts and speakers repeat it, excluding whoever originated it.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1867+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

LIVE, BYO-ONLY. Promoted out of _incubator and wired into the gateway on 2026-09-14 (fleet #1958), once Bruce's partner key existed and all eight exported tools returned non-empty payloads against the real API.

It ships BYO-only even though a Pipeworx platform key exists, and that is a deliberate choice, not an oversight. The gateway is AT Cloudflare's limit of 250 text bindings, so wrangler secret put PLATFORM_CANONCANNON_KEY is rejected outright — "Too many text bindings, found a total of 251, they exceed the limit of 250" (code 10055). Declaring platformKeyEnv without the secret actually present would un-sink this pack in routing and send podcast-consensus questions to a tool that can only refuse, which is strictly worse than an honest no_match — the fda-inspections precedent, fleet #617. So the pack declares no platformKeyEnv, keyBlockedTools() keeps it out of ask_pipeworx retrieval, and a caller with their own CanonCannon key can still call it directly with _apiKey.

To finish it: free one text binding on the gateway, then land the wrangler secret put and platformKeyEnv: 'PLATFORM_CANONCANNON_KEY' in the SAME change. The key itself is already issued, stored in the canonical checkout's gitignored .env, and verified live. canon_citations is separately held — see the integrity gate.

Tools

Eight are exported. canon_citations is implemented and deliberately held — see the integrity gate.

• canon_search(query?, tier?, label?, limit?, cursor?) — find recurring ideas. Each row carries tier and its measurement.
• canon_get(slug) — the full entry: claim, evidence, nuance, gaps, related, books, plus the measurement spelled out in one sentence beside it.
• canon_episode_search(query?, podcast?, since?, limit?, cursor?) — the episode corpus.
• canon_episode_get(slug) — one episode with its extracted ideas, guests and books.
• canon_person_get(slug) — what one person has actually said, across shows.
• canon_podcast_list(limit?, cursor?) — the tracked-show roster, i.e. the denominator of the canon bar.
• canon_podcast_get(slug) — one tracked show.
• canon_corpus_stats() — corpus counts and the bar currently in force.
• canon_citations(slug) — HELD. Every episode citing an idea, with speakers and originator involvement.

Auth

BYO only today: _apiKey (Authorization: Bearer cc_live_...). Every /api/v1 endpoint refuses without one — GET /stats with no key is a clean 401 {"error":"Missing or malformed API key. Send Authorization: Bearer cc_live_..."}, so a missing credential is unambiguous rather than looking like an outage.

There is no platformKeyEnv because we hold no key. When Bruce issues the partner key, wire PLATFORM_CANONCANNON_KEY on the gateway in the SAME change that adds the MCP_PACKS entry (fda-inspections precedent, fleet #617) — a declared-but-unset platform key sinks every tool in the pack under the key rule and reads to a caller as a broken pack rather than an unfunded one.

The citations endpoint is additionally restricted to an internal-tier key, so a partner key gets 403 there. That is upstream policy, not our gate.

The measurement envelope — the whole contract

tier is never served without a measurement sibling, in one of exactly two shapes:

{ "available": true, "measured_at": "…", "independent_podcasts": 23,
  "independent_speakers": 41, "independent_episodes": 36,
  "threshold": 9, "tracked_podcasts": 162 }
