  "ContentMarkdown": "# shelbymcp MCP Server\n\nKnowledge-graph memory server for AI tools via MCP\n\n**Publisher claimed.** No tool list reported, and Pod has not connected to this server.\n\n## Status\n\nPod has not dialled shelbymcp yet, so everything on this page is what its publisher reported rather than what we observed. Registries describe servers; they do not connect to them. Until a check runs, treat the tool list below as a claim.\n\n## Connect\n\nPublished as `shelbymcp` on npm. Runs locally.\n\n## Known issues\n\n**37 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team.** Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded — those are release checklists and internal refactors, not things that will go wrong for you.

So an agent calling search/get_brief without the slug gets EVERY project's memory (contamination by default); the capture schema even says 'auto-resolved from cwd if omitted' — reads should match.
