# 404.platphormnews.com - PlatPhorm 404 Purpose: canonical public 404 recovery, route search, dead-link reporting, sitemap validation, redirect suggestions, and link-audit tooling for the PlatPhormNews web mesh. Public access: recovery search, route suggestions, route inventory, dead-link report submission, link checks, sitemap validation, redirect previews, health, discovery files, RSS/feed, and read-only MCP introspection are public-safe in Phase 1. Future protected auth: PLATPHORM_API_KEY only, accepted as Authorization: Bearer $PLATPHORM_API_KEY or X-PlatPhorm-API-Key when PLATPHORM_REQUIRE_API_KEY=true. Live inventory status: live Discovered sites: 324 Public route records: 1085 MCP endpoint: https://404.platphormnews.com/api/mcp OpenAPI: https://404.platphormnews.com/openapi.yaml RSS: https://404.platphormnews.com/rss.xml Sitemap: https://404.platphormnews.com/sitemap.xml Core tools: search_routes, recover_route, suggest_redirect, report_dead_link, get_dead_link_report, list_routes, list_dead_links, check_link, validate_sitemap, get_sitemap_status, get_route_compliance, get_discovery_compliance, get_network_sites, get_health, get_info. Trust policy: Public-safe 404 recovery, route search, dead-link reporting, sitemap validation, redirect suggestions, local non-sensitive report draft persistence, read-only MCP introspection, RSS/feed consumption, trusted-domain discovery, standard route compliance, Vercel metadata capture, backend model scaffolding, and trace-linked 404 operations are intentionally supported for public use. PLATPHORM_API_KEY support is scaffolded for future protected backend services, redirect mutation, private reports, sync, test-triggering, reporting, administrative actions, and sensitive operations.
