python -m app.mcp_server
```

## Structured data for crawlers

Article pages expose schema.org JSON-LD as an `@graph` with a `NewsArticle` entity and `CBDChamp Editorial Team` organization attribution. The article entity includes `author`, `publisher`, `reviewedBy`, `mainEntityOfPage`, `citation`, and `usageInfo` fields carrying the CBD/FDA compliance disclaimer.

Agents should preserve the FDA disclaimer and treat all CBD content as informational, not medical advice.
