  • message: ChatCBI response to the message.
  • relatedContent: List of related references.
  • sources: List of sources used to generate the response.
  • suggestions: List of suggested follow-up questions.

  "mcpServers": {
    "cbi-mcp-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/.local/bin/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/cloned/cbi-mcp-server",
        "run",
        "server.py"
      ]
    }
  }
