Palimpsest - censorship, China economy and model-eval observatory MCP Server

A public, tamper-evident record of what powerful actors quietly erase, and a way for anyone to detect, offline, whether the served record still reproduces its published commitments. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with china, data journalism and digital rights and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Python.
