description: >-
  Laurence publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no SLA and no status page for its
  MCP server. This file records those absences with the probe that established each one, so the gap
  is legible rather than inferred. There is one live change Laurence has NOT documented anywhere: the
  MCP server's canonical resource moved from the modal.run deployment URL to the branded host
  mcp.laurence.com, and the launch post still publishes the old URL in every install command. Both
  hosts answer today, so nothing is broken, but the change was shipped without a changelog entry or
  a note on the post — which is exactly the class of drift a versioning policy exists to make visible.
versioning:
  scheme: none-published
  current: null
  documented: false
  detail: >-
    No API version, no version header, no dated version train. MCP protocol version is negotiated
    per-session by the initialize handshake, which is a protocol mechanic rather than a Laurence
    versioning policy.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  documented: false
  sunset_header: false
  detail: >-
    No deprecation policy, no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header support documented or observed.
    The modal.run endpoint is being superseded in the metadata without any deprecation signal.

      note: DNS does not resolve.
changelog:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No changelog, release-notes or "what's new" page. /changelog returns 404 and the sitemap
    contains no such URL. The blog (4 posts, most recent 2026-06-03) carries announcements but is
    editorial, not a dated change record — no artifact is emitted for it.

      RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata on both hosts now declares
      resource: https://mcp.laurence.com/mcp, and the WWW-Authenticate challenge on an
      unauthenticated call points at https://mcp.laurence.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.
      On 2026-07-19 the same document declared the modal.run URL. Undocumented by the provider.
    old: https://laurence-ai-68564--ask-laurence-agent-mcp-server.modal.run/mcp

    detail: >-
      https://www.laurence.com/blog/laurence-mcp-launch still publishes the modal.run URL in all
      three install commands (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) after the migration above.

    detail: >-
      /llms.txt was rewritten between 2026-07-19 and 2026-08-13 — new product pages (/methodology,
      /ads, /intelligence) replaced /how, and the site tagline changed from "The only platform that
      automates Amazon management for brands" to "The autonomous growth platform for Amazon brands".
      The verbatim copy in llms/laurence-llms.txt was refreshed.
