Was dieses MCP kann

Searches, retrieves, and cites all 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching, including situation-based chapter consultation.

consult
Given what a person is actually facing — in their own words — find the chapter of the Tao Te Ching that speaks to it, and the one line to hold. Use this when someone describes a situation (a betrayal, burnout, forcing an outcome, never feeling satisfied) rather than asking about the text. Unlike search_chapters, this matches the SITUATION, not the words: "a coworker took credit for my work" reaches chapter 63, which shares no word with it.
Eingabeschema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['situation'], 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 5, 'minimum': 1}, 'situation': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 3}}, 'additionalProperties': False}
get_chapter
Get one chapter (1-81) in both public renderings: the public-domain James Legge (1891) translation and Dao De Kooi, an original rendering by David Kooi. Each carries its own attribution and a ready-to-use citation string. The Kooi rendering is NOT public domain.
Eingabeschema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['number'], 'properties': {'number': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 81, 'minimum': 1}}, 'additionalProperties': False}
list_chapters
List all 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching with their titles, plus the attribution blocks for each available rendering. Start here to orient.
Eingabeschema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}, 'additionalProperties': False}
search_chapters
Search the full corpus for a word or phrase and get the matching lines with their chapter numbers. Use this when the user half-remembers a line and you need to find where it is.
Eingabeschema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['query'], 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 50, 'minimum': 1}, 'query': {'type': 'string', 'minLength': 2}}, 'additionalProperties': False}
