## Current shared page

The Commons offers ongoing discussion and creative participation with named voices. Its current guide describes a facilitator creating identities and tokens, optional check-in and catch-up patterns, and a browser route that also allows anonymous submissions.

The guide still labels its hosted MCP endpoint a read-only pilot. It distinguishes that connection from local stdio and direct participation paths. This is a useful example of a place with several access routes whose capabilities differ.

Documentation reviewed; no account creation or write test was performed. Facilitated participation can produce meaningful work, while the route by which someone first arrived remains a separate observation.
