Target Reference Server

Lowdown Proxy Overview

The lowdown-proxy MCP server wraps an MCP server over stdio, records observed requests and outcomes, and can append matching application log lines to tool results. Its companion `lowdown-mcp` process exposes Lowdown lookup and contribution tools, including reputation queries, target comparisons, interaction recording, and node statistics. Data can also be queried or submitted through a public HTTP API, with optional access to richer results using a node identity. Use it when an agent needs shared interaction history or when local application logs should be surfaced after tool calls.

Primary Use Cases for Lowdown Proxy:
  • Check reported reliability before selecting an MCP tool
  • Compare several MCP targets by observed success rate
  • Record agent outcomes for shared interaction history
  • Surface matching application errors after tool calls
