## What mcp does, in the publisher's words

The Python runtime and SDK that powers LingTai agents.

This repository is the engine underneath the product, not the product itself.

Looking for LingTai the product? The Lingtai-AI/lingtai repository is the source of truth for the Digital Scientist, the lifelong, self-growing agent, including the guided installer, the TUI/Portal, and everyday workflows. Normal users should start there and let the installer manage this runtime for them. This repository is for developers who build on or contribute to the kernel; do not treat a bare pip install here as the normal installation path.

- The agent runtime: the core turn loop, lifecycle, tool dispatch, mailbox, soul (inner voice), molt, and notification machinery that make an agent run.
- Two Python surfaces: lingtai.kernel, the minimal runtime (BaseAgent, intrinsics, the LLM protocol, mail, and logging), and lingtai, the batteries-included runtime, CLI, and services that build Agent(BaseAgent) on top of it and re-export the kernel's public API.

Read before changing configuration. It does not teach the MCP protocol itself;…
