What this server can do
3 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
get_article(slug, query)- Get the direct answer, the causes the article covers, and its FAQ for one article, by slug (from search_articles). Returns a summary, not the full text — the article URL has the complete step-by-step fix and the sources.
list_topics- List the subject areas covered on WhyIsMy.org with an article count for each. Takes no arguments. Use the returned slugs as the `topic` argument to search_articles.
search_articles(limit, query, topic)- Find WhyIsMy.org articles answering a "why is my…" question. Returns titles, summaries and URLs. Both arguments are optional: omit query to browse, pass topic to bias results toward one subject area. The returned summaries are partial — send the user to the article URL for the full diagnosis, fixes and cited sources.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
