Identify the executable

Print the version and source commit of the executable.

cambium --version

The version includes the executable’s source commit. Keep it with the server address when reporting a fault. An adjacent receipt must also match the executable’s digest before it can identify those bytes.

Check the seat package

Check the installed MCP executable, fonts and native canvas without signing in.

cambium mcp --check

The preflight checks the packaged fonts and native canvas without signing in. In the host, initialise the MCP server and request its tool list. Use the plugin guide for the correct launcher and environment.

Check admission

Read the schema, then ask for the intended resource. A roster refusal naming the workspace read action needs a grant from an authorised holder. Changing the executable path or repeating sign-in does not supply that grant.

Follow a live change

Confirm that the host supports the server’s channel protocol and has enabled the plugin’s channel. Read the record a notification names before acknowledging it. Notifications describes that distinction.
