Shipshape Data agent tools

The official agent toolkit for Shipshape Data, the London AI consultancy that builds the data foundation first. Everything here wraps the same keyless, read-only surface: the public API, two MCP servers, and the site's markdown twins.

What's in here

Path	What it is
`skills/`	Agent skills: install with `npx skills add shipshapedata/agent-tools`
`packages/cli/`	`shipshape-data` on npm: CLI (`npx shipshape-data readiness`) and Node SDK
`packages/python/`	`shipshape-data` on PyPI: `shipshape` CLI and Python SDK
`.mcp.json`, `.cursor/`	Drop-in MCP configs for Claude Code and Cursor
`plugin.json`	Claude Code plugin manifest (MCP servers + skills)

The surface it talks to

API: https://shipshapedata.com/api/v1 (self-describing; OpenAPI 3.1 spec)
MCP: https://shipshapedata.com/mcp (services, case studies, resource search, AI readiness scoring) and https://shipshapedata.com/mcp/docs (docs Q&A, full markdown of any page)
NLWeb: POST https://shipshapedata.com/ask
A2A: agent card
Guides: llms.txt | agents.md | developers

Why this exists

We tell clients their AI is only as good as the data foundation underneath it, and that their products should be as easy for agents to use as for people. This repo is us doing it to ourselves. If you want your product to work like this, talk to us.
