The file ledger service exposes ledger append, ledger query, and checkpoint. The extraction service exposes entity extraction and classification. The people service exposes person lookup, upsert, and relationship query. The marketplace service (planned Phase 5) is intended to expose listing creation, listing query, and transaction initiation as MCP tools. Customers extending the platform add new MCP servers that expose their own vertical-specific tools. The Doorman discovers new tools at session start via MCP's describe mechanism; no core code changes are required to accommodate a new extension.
