Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work
Start using Rolling Edition
Choose your client, copy the configuration, then enable the server in your client’s MCP settings.
Run this command in your terminal, then restart Claude Code.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http rolling-edition https://rollingedition.ai/mcpCapabilities
Check an edition code, the 8 characters printed on a copy of a Rolling Edition book (such as 483B-Z9SS): "current", "out_of_date" with the current edition and what changed since, or "not_found". A match says which edition the code names; it doesn't prove a copy is authentic.
DiscoveredWhat changed in a book's editions, newest first: each edition's date, the kinds of change, its summaries, and the sections and examples it changed. Give `since_edition` for the editions after one you know, such as the edition a reader's copy names.
DiscoveredA book's chapters and sections, in reading order, each with the ID that get_section takes. `book` is the book's slug from list_books, such as "open-table-formats".
DiscoveredRead one section of a book as Markdown, with its subsections, its code examples (each with the versions it was run on and whether it passes) and its citation block. A chapter's ID gives the chapter's opening. A long section comes in pages: pass the `next_cursor` you were given as `cursor` for the next one. An earlier ID of a section still works, and the answer says what it's called now.
DiscoveredA book's agent skill: its SKILL.md, in the Agent Skills format, with the methods the book teaches as procedures, each step linked to the section it comes from, and how to install the whole skill, with the chapters and examples, in Claude Code or any agent that reads the format. Read a step's section with get_section before acting on it. A book without one says so.
DiscoveredList Rolling Edition's books: each one's slug, title, summary, level, areas and skills, its current edition, the date its examples last passed, how many of its examples pass, and its link. Give `topic`, an area or skill ID such as "data-engineering" or "large-language-models", to list only the books on it.
DiscoveredFind the passages that best match `query`, by its words, across every book or within one (`book`, a slug). Each result has its book, edition, section ID and title, a snippet, and the citation block to cite it with. Read a whole result with get_section. `limit` is 5 unless you ask for up to 10.
