What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• search

  Search 2,500+ hand-curated architecture, design, photography and art projects from Thisispaper. Returns a list of results with id, title and url.

• fetch

  Retrieve the full record for one Thisispaper project by id (the id returned by search). Returns title, text and the public url.

• search_projects

  Search 2,500+ hand-curated architecture, design, photography and art projects from Thisispaper. Returns ranked summaries (name, studio, city, year, category, intro, thumbnail, url, citation_url, provenance). Without an API key, results are capped at 5; pass Authorization: Bearer

• similar_projects

  Nearest projects to a given slug by visual + semantic similarity (precomputed SigLIP neighbours). Use the slug from search_projects results.

• get_project

  Full metadata for one project: machine-written description, design language, details and dimensions, plus the public URL.

• search_by_taste

  Search by taste metadata: material, light, color, mood, composition, subject. Unique to Thisispaper: these tags were written during human curation. Provide at least one dimension; results are ranked by how many dimensions match, then by recency.
