## Description

This MCP server provides tools to analyze the structural integrity of Chinese four-character idioms (Chengyu). It uses phonetic tone sequences to validate length, detect phonetic clashing, and check if the idiom adheres to classical poetic rhythms like Ping-Ping-Ze-Ze. You can also evaluate the semantic density to see how much narrative information is contained within the characters. Use `validate_chengyu_structure` for basic checks, `check_poetic_meter` for rhythmic analysis, and `evaluate_semantic_density` for narrative richness.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is a Chengyu?**
A Chengyu is a traditional Chinese idiom consisting of exactly four characters, often carrying deep historical or poetic meaning.

**How do I check if an idiom follows classical poetic meter?**
You can use the `check_poetic_meter` tool by providing the hyphenated tone sequence of the idiom.

**What does phonetic clashing mean?**
Phonetic clashing occurs when a sequence of tones lacks melodic variation, such as four consecutive 4th tones, which disrupts the classical rhythm.
