What this MCP does

Searches and retrieves cited articles from the Edgepedia encyclopedia.

fetch
Fetch an Edgepedia article
Get one Edgepedia article in full, as Markdown with its citations, by the id of a `search` result. A `topic:` id gives that topic's articles (title, id, opening sentences; the first 120 in title order) and its narrower topics. Pass `citations: false` for a text about a quarter shorter: [n] markers in place of the inline source links, the reference list kept. Link the article when you use it; show its `credit` line with any text you quote.

Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['id'], 'properties': {'id': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The id of a search result (the last part of the article\'s address, such as "mount-fuji", or a topic\'s "topic:…" id).'}, 'citations': {'type': 'boolean', 'description': 'Default true. false = [n] markers instead of inline source links; the numbered reference list stays.'}}}
Output schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['id', 'title', 'text', 'url'], 'properties': {'id': {'type': 'string'}, 'url': {'type': 'string'}, 'text': {'type': 'string'}, 'title': {'type': 'string'}, 'metadata': {'type': 'object'}}}
search
Search Edgepedia
Look up a person, place, thing, event, or concept in Edgepedia, an encyclopedia of over 300k articles and constantly growing. Pass the subject's name ("Mount Fuji", "photosynthesis"), not a question: it matches titles, other names, and misspellings, not full text. Returns up to 10 articles, each with opening sentences; pass a result's id to `fetch` for the article. When the query is a topic's name ("science fiction writers", "painters"), that topic comes too, with its article count and an id starting `topic:`; it leads unless an article of the same name does. `fetch` a topic's id for its articles.
