What does the quality scoring feature do?

Lightpaper automatically scores published markdown pages on quality metrics. The exact scoring criteria are available in the platform documentation, and scores help you identify content that may need revision.

Do I need an API key to use this MCP server?

No. The LIGHTPAPER_API_KEY environment variable is optional — the server can create accounts interactively if you don't provide one. For production workflows, set your API key (format: lp_free_xxx) to skip authentication prompts.

Can I use this with a self-hosted lightpaper instance?

Yes. Set the LIGHTPAPER_BASE_URL environment variable to point to your custom API endpoint. It defaults to https://lightpaper.org if not specified.

How do I install and run the lightpaper MCP server?

Install with `uvx lightpaper-mcp@0.1.1`. The server uses stdio transport, so it integrates with any MCP client that supports that protocol. Set LIGHTPAPER_API_KEY if you have an account.

What's the difference between lightpaper and other markdown publishing tools?

Lightpaper is API-first and emphasizes permanent web pages with built-in quality scoring. This makes it well-suited for programmatic publishing workflows where you want automated feedback on content quality.
